Nestled near the charming village of Miliou, a collection of private rental homes offers a serene retreat for those seeking a lengthy respite from the hustle and bustle. Many are drawn to the area by the abundance of fresh, spring-fed water that trickles from ancient fountains scattered throughout the village, a quaint reminder of times past.
The village is renowned for cultivating cacti, whose vibrant blooms add colour to the landscape. Not merely ornamental, these prickly plants also bear edible fruits known as prickly pears. The locals skillfully harvest these fruits, using them in various dishes for their unique flavour and health benefits. Thus, a stay in Miliou not only provides restful tranquillity but also offers an opportunity to sample this intriguing facet of local cuisine, a testament to the resourcefulness and rich traditions of this Cypriot community.
