The Greay Havens is a port, and in a way a "stop over" for elves on their way to the Far West. I suppose it is just what the name suggests - "Grey Havens": a dreary place of rest (it's an oxymoron, actually). It's a haven in a sense that they can almost feel at home there, but it's grey because the most common emotion one would have in it would be longing, dreaming, nostalgia, maybe even loneliness.
