Location & area
Avdou lies deep in the middle of the "Lagada" valley,
right at the foot of the Lassithi plateau mountain range,
39 km from the city of Heraklion, with about 600 inhabitants.
The earliest recorded reference to "Avdou" is in 1381,
in a Venetian state document stating the area as a benefice belonging to Michel Quirino.
Excavations in the area unearthed a building with mosaics,
probably part of an extensive complex of an early-Christian basilica.
The village is dotted with frescoed Byzantine churches.
Near the Avdou settlement there are two caves, Faneromeni and Haghia Fotini,
where archaeologists found artifacts dating back to the Neolithic period,
in Minoan Crete when they were probably used as worship grounds.
Avdou probably took its name from the prophet Havdeu
whose church existed in nearby Kontaria.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.
