Strong's Lexicon Kaloi Limenes: Fair Havens Original Word: Καλοὶ Λιμένες Word Origin: From Greek words καλός (kalos, meaning "good" or "beautiful") and λιμήν (limen, meaning "harbor" or "port") Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Hebrew equivalent for Kaloi Limenes, as it is a specific geographical location mentioned in the New Testament. Usage: Kaloi Limenes, translated as "Fair Havens," refers to a harbor located on the southern coast of Crete. It is mentioned in the New Testament as a place where the Apostle Paul and his companions stopped during their voyage to Rome. Cultural and Historical Background: Fair Havens was a small bay on the southern coast of Crete, near the town of Lasea. In ancient times, harbors were crucial for trade and travel, providing shelter for ships from storms and a place for resupplying. The name "Fair Havens" suggests it was considered a good or safe harbor, although it was not ideal for wintering due to its exposure to the elements.
