Gialia (, ) is a village in the Paphos District of Cyprus, located 11 km northeast of Polis Chrysochous. Prior to 1974, the village was inhabited by Turkish Cypriots.
Gialia is situated in between Argaka and Agia Marina and some of the village is actually within the Paphos Forest. In order to get to Gialia, take the main coastal road “Argaka to Agia marina”, there is an old bridge, take the right turning before the road, up into the hills and you will be in the centre of the village. The old bridge is the old road to Stavros Psokas. We met with Mr. Andreas Onoufriou, who is the secretary of the Council of the Village. He is known in the area as “Pakos” because when he was young he was a very good footballer, so his friends gave him the name of a good footballer From Cyprus.
