Below the village, between Mount Ida (Psiloritis) and Talaia Mountains, there is a vast valley, full of orchards and olive groves, vineyards and all kinds of trees; orange trees, tangerine trees, walnut trees, cherry trees, mulberry trees, apple trees, pomegranates, fig trees, locusts, sycamore trees and kermes oaks. More than ten water springs can be found at the wider region of the village, streaming water all over the year, while one of them adorns the center of the village. Out of the mouths of three lions, there gushes cold water during the summer and hot water during the winter. This spring and the shadow of its adjacent age-old plane tree constitute a magnet for passing-by villagers and visitors.

The village is located at the entrance of the gorge of Kotsyfos, at the foothills of verdant Armos, in a nice location amidst olive groves, vineyards and gardens, at an elevation of 460 meters. According to a story, the village was named after an icon of the namesake Saint, which had been found after a bush was burnt. This icon still exists and one of its edge is burnt.
•Houdetsi

The scenic beauty of the village, as well as the inhabitants' love for music have played a central role in world traveler and renowned musician Ross Daly's settling in Houdetsi. With the aid of the former municipality of Nikos Kazantzakis, the great musician founded the Music Workshop “Labyrinth” in 1982, housing a museum of traditional musical instruments and aiming at introducing the youth to a creative approach to musical traditions from around the world. Famed Houdetsi Festival has been established and is held annually in the village during the summer, featuring a four-day feast of music, dance, food and art.
•Kavousi

One of the most interesting sites of the area is the olive tree of Kavousi, which is estimated to be around 5,000 years old, and this olive tree is considered as the most ancient Minoan tree, since it is surrounded by four nearby ancient settlements: Vrontos, Plai tou Kastrou, Azoria Acropolis and Kavousi, which dates from A.D. 4700, since when it has been continuously inhabited.
