The Offbeat Goat Collection
Xenonas Fos Ke Choros
Kythira, Greece
A sophisticated boutique-chic guesthouse in the heart of Kythira
This Dutch-owned guesthouse is the perfect island oasis of comfort and calm. Awash in earthy ombre hues with polished concrete floors, vaulted wood-beam ceilings, and expansive stone courtyards, the place feels aesthetically sumptuous inside and out.
Interiors are tranquil and minimalist, with spaces defined by Moroccan lattice lanterns, traditional lace curtains, pebble collections, and sculpted driftwood. Expansive terraces brimming with oversized plants and terracotta jugs surround the suites and offer unobstructed views of the island and the dazzling Mediterranean.
“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.”
—Xenonas Fos Ke Choros

Stylish suites and apartments are beautifully pared-down with a distinct minimalist vibe: a bold fusion of concrete, wood, and earthy tones so as not to distract, yet still delightfully warm and homey. Rooms are decked out in neutral tones, cool stone, and warm woods with whimsy accents throughout.
