Xylofagou (; ) is a village in the Larnaca District of Cyprus, situated close to the A3 motorway between Paralimni and the British military base Dhekelia.
== Overview == Xylofagou's name roughly translates to "wood eaters". It lies on the northern flank of a hill, on the edge of a group of several similar villages collectively known as the Kokkinochoria (Greek: Κοκκινοχώρια) which translates to "red villages" due to their abundance of nutrient-dense red soil in which vegetablesespecially the extremely popular potatoes that are eaten island-wideare grown.
