Kefalovrysi is a village of the Municipality of Viannos in the Regional Unit of Heraklion. Its location is at the southern foothills of Mount Diktis. The inhabitants are engaged in olive growing and recently also with early horticultural crops in the coastal area. The name of the village is due to a large source (water spring). The source is also called a head. While it is not mentioned in the Venetian censuses, it is listed in the Turkish census of 1671. In September 1943, the village was set on fire by the Germans and 36 of the male inhabitants were executed by firing squad.
