Kefalas (Greek: Κεφαλάς) is a over 800 years old village on the island of Crete, Greece,[2] 360 m above sea level.

Kefalas owes its name to the first residents there, called the Kephalades, the leaders of the Byzantine settlers sent to Crete in 1182.

On the approach to Kefalas from Vamos there is a stone structure with welcome notes in Greek and English.

Also in the square are a taverna, a large church and a statue bearing the names of local people who died during the war.

[citation needed] At the southern end of Kefalas is a narrow turning at 35°24'24.29"N 24°14'59.39"E onto a tarmac road, which leads to a small church and graveyard, with views towards the Bay of Georgioupolis.
