Location

The village Houdetsi is located in Crete, in a distance of 21km south of the airport and port of the city of Heraklion, in 450m altitude. The population of the village is 1.100 people. It is a traditional village of great beauty, which continuously grows and has many buildings of traditional architecture.

According to some Venetian and Turkish documents, the name of the village was first mentioned in 1279A.C. but some archaeological excavations and findings show that it must have existed since the Minoan epoch or even before. There are different versions of myths in relation to the source of the name. Paul Faure claims that the word 'Houdetsi' comes from the word 'quds', meaning saint, without explaining the reason for that; maybe due to the fact that there are many churches in the village.
