Kefalas (Κεφαλάς) is a village with views of both the Bay of Georgioupoli and the White Mountains that is just 5 kilometers (3 miles) from Gavalochori. If you wander around a bit, you’ll be able to see a number of historic relics, including threshing circles in the fields from when cereals were grown in the area, an ancient windmill, and numerous churches. An old house has been turned into a museum here, so you can see what a Cretan house from the previous century was like. Kefalas has one taverna, the Meterizi Taverna.
