Where the Kourris river ran through Kato Amianto, there were four water mills. The first one in Kato Amiantos was owned by Charalambos Mylonas, a native of Kato Amiantos whose humour defined an era throughout his lifetime. The second was located close to the chapel of Panagia tou Amiantos, which was owned by Giannis Ttira of Agros. The third was a bit further down, under the ownership of Panagia tou Agros, and the fourth was further down, in the direction of Marathos, and was owned by Antonis X Vasili Tsiantis of Pelendri. These four water mills utilised the energy of water to grind wheat and barley to meet the requirements of the neighbouring villages.
