The modern single-aisled, arched church of Agioi Anargyroi, which has obviously been restored a number of times, maintains the original thick walls and some old, prortable icons. The decline and final abandonment of the monastery must have come around the middle or towards the end of the 19th century. The bishop of Paphos Iakovos Antzoulatos, restored the monastery in 1922 at the expense of the bishopric, adding new rooms. It was then that chemical tests were carried out on its sulphur waters and their therapeutic quality was discovered.

Agioi Anargyroi in Miliou Paphos Cyprus was either used as a monastery - hotel or was hired out and used for therapeutic purposes. Until a few years ago it was used once again by nuns from Greece and Cyprus, but it was then bought and the nuns' quarters have been transformed into baths. It is known how the monastery came to be identified with the names of Agios Kosmas and Damianos, known as Agii Anargyri. According to tradition, they were brothers practising as doctors, who did not accept payment from their patients. Perhaps the therapeutic springs next to the monastery and the free treatment give to the patients explains the name it was given.

There is also a myth about this monastery, widely spread among the inhabitants of the surrounding villages. According to this tradition, many years ago a number of monks lived in the monastery. One day they argued among themselves and not only used sticks and stones in their dispute but also eggs from the cellar, because it was during the period of Lent. As a result of the argument, the eggs broke and the water from the springs took the smell of rotten eggs. The tests carried out on the sulphur waters of the springs showed them to be effective for the treatment of bone problems, rheumatism, skin diseases and sigestive disorders.

The monastery has been transformed into a hotel spa resort where many people come, not only from Cyprus but from abroad as well. It is a good opportunity to combine the spa facilities in Agioi Anargyroi with relaxing holidays in Miliou village and stay in one of the traditional, stone-built or modern villas.
