After the last interventions, Ano Doliana is a touristic village with one of the fewest forest guesthouses in Greece.
On the same time, there are also other guesthouses, restaurants, cafeterias... The mountainous climate of Ano Doliana forced the residents, before many years, to double-live (the winter used to go to Kato Doliana with their sheepherds- just before Astros).
A little bit further from the village is the chestnut with the church of Agios Giannis.
Before you ascend Ano Doliana, at Kouvli, there is an Ottoman fountain with name of Rematia, Sopotos· another faucet is Papadia and another one is Dragounio fountain· the newest ones are Loutsitsa and Kokkinos.
The Folklore museum is an exhibition place that promotes Ano Doliana of the past years...
