KJV - Acts 27:12

And because the haven was not commodious to winter in, the more part advised to depart thence also, if by any means they might attain to Phenice, and there to winter; which is an haven of Crete, and lieth toward the south west and north west.

Because the harbor wasn't big enough for winter, most people wanted to leave and go to Phenice instead, where they could winter. Phenice is a harbor in Crete, located towards the southwest and northwest.
