Kefalas
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kefalas is a village on the island of Crete, Greece, 282m above sea level. It is in Vamos municipality in the Apokoronas region and about five minutes by car from the village of Vamos itself and about 10 minutes to Almirida beach on the northwest coast of the island.
A picturesque village right on the northeast edge of the Drapanos peninsula, built facing the sea with interesting architecture, Kefalas is well-preserved. It is of interest to visitors with its village streets, sea views and tavernas. Eight churches can be found here. The views from Kefalas to the Bay of Georgioupolis and the Cretan White Mountains are spectacular and on a clear day Rethymnon can be seen. Kefalas is largely unspoilt by tourism and the old traditional way of life still remains, although many new houses and devlopments have sprung up around the village for toursists.
