Kefalas is a historic village in the Apokoronas region of Crete, Greece, perched at an elevation of approximately 360 meters. Established around 1175 AD during the Byzantine era, the village boasts a history spanning over 800 years. Known for its traditional Cretan architecture, Kefalas features buildings influenced by both Venetian and Turkish periods. Among its notable landmarks are several historic churches, such as the 16th-century Church of Timios Stavros and the 19th-century folk-style churches of Panagia, Agios Antonios, and Michael the Archangel. In the heart of the village lies a renovated old school, now functioning as a School of Environmental Studies. Nearby, a museum housed in a restored traditional home exhibits artifacts contributed by locals, offering a glimpse into village life from the past century. The museum is open most summer evenings until 10 pm, with free admission and an option to donate for its maintenance. Kefalas provides breathtaking views of the Bay of Georgioupolis and the White Mountains of Crete. The village is well-equipped with essential amenities, including two tavernas, two well-stocked mini markets, and several traditional coffee houses (kafenions). Close to Kefalas, the village of Palailoni, just 1 km to the north, is renowned for its charming traditional architecture and eucalyptus-lined main street. From Palailoni, a road leads to Ombrosgialos Bay, a local favorite for swimming, though it lacks a sandy beach.
