Kefalas is a beautiful, calm village of Crete with two mini markets, one nice local taverna (Meterizi) and a very beautiful landscape. There are many other taverns in nearby villages of Apokoronas, at a 5-minute driving distance.
The nearest sandy beach can be found at about 8 km away, in Almyrida and Georgioupolis. The pebble beach of Obrosgialos is nearer, a little more than 5 km away.
