Miliou is one of the villages involved in the

agrotourism to Cyprus. Although Miliou's limestone
houses are examples of traditional rural architecture, more have been restored in the traditional Cypriot style through the Laona Project.

The village is home to the restored monastery of 'Agii Anargyri, now used as a spa hotel. The monastery was built in 1649 and was among the first to be built on the island. It was founded by two brothers who cared for the sick and dying without payment, leading to the monastery acquiring its name, from the Greek meaning "without payment".
