faÌ‚r hā´v'nz (Καλοὶ ΛιμεÌνες, KaloÄ±Ì LimeÌnes): A roadstead on the South coast of Crete, about 5 miles East of Cape Matala, the most southerly point of the island. The harbor is formed by a bay, open to the East, and sheltered on the Southwest by two small islands. Here Paul waited for a considerable time (); but while it afforded good anchorage and a shelter from North and Northwest winds, “the haven was not commodious to winter in†(, ). See CRETE.
