The Monastery is located 20km south of Heraklion town and it is hidden in the sides of the lush green Spiliotissa canyon. It can be easily accessed by walking on a green path, 500m long, from Houdetsi village. Along this path you will see the Byzantine churches of St. John and Anthony, and two old water mills. The church was founded in the early 17th century, after finding the image of the Virgin. The year 1649 was donated to the Monastery of Sinai because of the privileges and since then is in dependency of Sinai. The monastery because of lack of space and ιts quiet nature is unable to accept organized tourist groups.
The most interesting part of the stream, with a maximum natural, historical and religious beauty is what lies between the above settlements, and has a total length of approximately 1,5 km.
The area is rich with natural vegetation, trees, shrubs and low plants such as Tree, downy oak, Vitiligo, Willow, Laurel, Schinias, Carob, Ivy, bush etc. The local, climatic and hydrological conditions helps the cultivation of citrus groves and vineyards.The continuous flow of the stream comes not only from the winter rains but also from the artesian source Houdetsi. The stream is not only a habitat of plants. There are many other birds and small mammals that nest in this, finding food and water. All these make a beautiful landscape of colors and sounds.The history of the Monastery of Panagia Spiliotissa wchich is located in the gorge and only 500m far from Houdetsi village, begins around 1000 AD. Today belongs to St. Catherine of Sinai.Visitors to the area can walk in a well structured path near the stream, enjoying the unique natural landscape from the settlement of Houdetsi to the settlement of Agios Vasilios, or vice versa.
Το χωριό Καλλονή βρίσκεται 20 χιλιόμετρα νότια του Ηρακλείου σε υψόμετρο 330 μέτρων. Οι κάτοικοι του χωριού, οι οποίοι αριθμούσαν τους 242 κατά την απογραφή του 2011, ασχολούνται κυρίως με τις αγροτικές καλλιέργειες και την παραγωγή σταφίδας.
Το σημερινό όνομα του το χωριό το απέκτησε το 1928 από τον τότε πρόεδρο ο οποίος υπηρετούσε ως χωροφύλακας στην Καλλονή της Μυτιλήνης. Η ονομασία που έφερε πριν το χωριό ήταν Σκιλλούς που σχετίζεται με τη Σκιλλούντα, την πόλη του Ξενοφώντα στην Τριφυλία της Πελοποννήσου. Η περιοχή μάλιστα φαίνεται να κατοικείται από την μινωική εποχή όπως δείχνουν ερείπια μινωικού οικισμού με όστρακα και ειδώλια της αρχαϊκής εποχής.
Η κατοίκιση του συνεχίζεται και αργότερα κατά την βυζαντινή και ενετική περίοδο όπως φανερώνουν οι βυζαντινές εκκλησίες και τα ερείπια ενός ενετικού φρουρίου. Η παλαιότερη αναφορά του χωριού μάλιστα γίνεται το 1271 με το όνομα Kilee. Αργότερα αναφέρεται με τα ονόματα Sichilla, Sichylu, Scilu, Castro Sichilu, Schilus και Iskilus.
Το Χουδέτσι βρίσκεται 22 χιλιόμετρα νότια της πόλης του Ηρακλείου στην επαρχία Πεδιάδος, χτισμένο σε υψόμετρο περίπου 440 μέτρων.
Οι κάτοικοι του χωριού ασχολούνται κυρίως με αγροτικές δουλειές όπως η ελαιοκομία και η αμπελουργία, που μάλιστα τα κατάφυτα από αμπελώνες περίχωρα του χωριού φημίζονται για το εξαιρετικής ποιότητας κρασί που παράγουν.
Ιστορικά το χωριό φαίνεται να κατοικείται από τη Μεσομινωική εποχή λόγο των διαφόρων ευρημάτων και ειδωλίων που βρέθηκαν στη θέση Κορφή, καθώς και ευρημάτων ελληνιστικής εποχής όπως μία μικρή πήλινη κεφαλή της θεάς Αθηνάς η οποία φέρει κράνος και εγκαταστάσεις υδραγωγείου.

A view in one of the most authentic and breathtaking landscapes. Vines and olives wave in silver and green colors when the air is playing with their leaves. Its distance from Heraklion is 21 kilometres. According to the latest Census in 2001 the population sums up to 426 residents. It shares a border with Kalloni, Houdetsi and Melesses.
Patron saint is of course is Aghios Vasileios with the temple at the Centre of the settlement which together with the rest in the surrounding area highlights the reverence of the inhabitants. Indeed, the old people tell us that during the epidemic of swine fever that had ravaged the surrounding villages Aghios Vasileios was not afflicted, because it was protected by the churches that surround it. Apart from the churches, one can admire the village itself walking through the alleys and beautiful neighborhoods such as: Livadi, Plakoura, Kolonaki, Kara, Tourkogheitonia, Katrades and Geraki.Name-Historical elements.
The earliest indication of the name, owed to the the Church of the Saint which dominates in the Centre of the village is in a 1368 document where it’s referred to as Agio Vassili. In 1391 it was a fief of Marcus Dandulo. In 1577 it is reported by Barozzi as Agios Vassilis, in 1583 from the Kastrofylakas as S. Baseggio with 269 inhabitants, in 1630 by the Basilicata as Basegio de Schilus. In the Turkish census of 1671 it’s referred to as Hagio Vαsili with 15 Christian and 10 Turkish families, in 1881 it is included in the municipality of Aghies Paraskies with 375 Christians and 23 Turks. In 1900 it’s still in the same municipality with 390 inhabitants. In 1928 it is the seat of a homonymous community with 465 inhabitants. In all of the county’s fights there were defenders of the homeland from this village. In the Macedonian war, Konstantinos Hatzidakis and Solonas Kamilakis were distinguished fighters.Archaeology-myth and tradition.
Very close to the agglomeration, going South within the Valley to Houdetsi is the cavernous Sinnaitic Temple and Holy Monastery of Spiliotissa (iera Moni Spiliotissas), a Sinai dependency/glebe (metochi). The mural traces on the on the rock walls of the Virgin Mary’s cave (Spileo Panagias) are dated back to the 15th century.
At the end of the 16th century the monastery belonged to the rich offsprings of the Venetian family of Falieron. In 1599, scholar Ioannis Morezinos was appointed by the Venetians as a minister in the monastery of Spiliotissa. In 1600 it appears that the monastery was peaking.
It was passed to Sinai as an oblation to escape the Turks, but we do not know when exactly this happened. In 1866 the first elementary school in the region was founded in the monastery. Georgios Parasirakis is one of the names mentioned among the teachers. In those years this school was providing its services to the neighbouring settlements as well.
In the same Valley towards Houdetsi another Sinaitic Temple is located, the Church of Aghios Ioannis Prodromos (Saint John the Forerunner) with intensely interesting murals dating back to 1291. The ownership inscription near the door reads:Renewed and restored the all-venerable and divine temple… Prophet, Forerunner and Baptist John by… and in the expense of Nikolaos Tziakontopoulos… nun… year… of Andronikos Paleologos..
In the location of the village you will find more churches with murals such as the Church of Aghios Antonios and Aghia Pelagia. Some of the other churches are the ones of Aghia Paraskevi, Aghia Kiriaki, Aghios Konstantinos, Aghios Athanasios and Cyrillos. Two persons are portrayed in the Church of Aghios Athanasios and Cyrillos, a smiling and a sad one. In accordance with the lore, once there were two sisters. One stole the other’s dowry. The one who took them laughs while the other cries.www.endoxora-irakleiou.gr
