If you want to enjoy the real Greek island life in an authentic environment with lots of sea, sun and culture without mass tourism then Kythira might be the place for you. We would love to welcome you in our guesthouse Xenonas Fos ke Choros.
(guesthouse of light and space) is a charming traditional boutique guesthouse featuring just 4 well-appointed guest rooms. Nestled in the heart of Kythira island, the property draws inspiration from local architectural traditions and enjoys a serene natural setting between the picturesque villages of Aroniadika and Pitsinades.
Each guest room offers a spacious private terrace with sweeping views of the Ionian Sea and the island landscape. In the evenings, guests can enjoy the spectacular sight of the sun setting over the water.
the charming village kafenion, Grigorakis, is just a short walk from the guesthouse. A little further down the road, you’ll find the restaurant Souvlike (currently closed) and a large supermarket. Several other good dining options are also nearby.
Potamos, the main village in the northern part of the island, is about 4 km from the guesthouse. It offers all necessary amenities including ATMs, supermarkets, shops, kafenions, and restaurants. Every Sunday morning, the local market takes place in the village square—a genuine social gathering where islanders come to sell their goods. While enjoying a Greek coffee or tsipouro, locals review the week’s events.
Some of the island’s most beautiful beaches are within a 15-20 minute drive from the guesthouse.
the guesthouse is surrounded by a lush Mediterranean garden and in 2020 we started the conversion of our olive orchard into a food forest garden with many fruit trees, edible shrubs and herbs.

A lithograph made by George Tzannes, an American artist of Greek origins.
He studied at the Art Students League in New York and lithography at Pratt. In 1971, he went to Kythira for the first time. He was taken by the island’s natural beauty and how the people there still lived connected to the land. He has been going back ever since, living part of the year on Kythira and part in New York City, with studios in both places. His work has been exhibited in the United States and in Greece. Kythira has been the subject of his art expressed in a variety of techniques including painting, drawing, monotype, and sculpture.
