location /myapp/css/ {
    root  /home/stelios;
}

location /myapp/ {
    root  /home/stelios;
    try_files  $uri  $uri/  @php;
}

location @php {
    fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
    fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /home/stelios/myapp/index.php;
    fastcgi_param QUERY_STRING    u=$uri;
    include fastcgi_params0;
}

fastcgi_params0 is a copy of fastcgi_params without QUERY_STRING parameter.
