Miliou, Polis Villages The ''green'' village, set amid citrus orchards on a Laona plateau north west of Paphos, is the pretty little village of Miliou. It is one of the smallest villages in the area with a population of about 60 and its limestone houses are perfect examples of traditional rural architecture. Like all rural communities in Cyprus the social life in Miliou centres on the little coffee shop where the village men sit in the leafy shade discussing politics and local issues.
Visit Anthoulla, who weaves on a traditional loom or the former monastery of Ayii Anargyri (now a small hotel), with its healing sulphur spring and make sure to buy your honey from Mr Dinos.
The relatively unspoiled state of the countryside and the village make it a real delight for the walker and naturalist. In the space of 20 minutes you can find yourself on the beaches of Polis and Latchi or amongst the natural splendour of Akamas
