Kudhës

Kudhës is a village on the Albanian Riviera, Vlorë County, Albania. It is part of the Himarë municipality.

Kudhës and the river with the same name is related to the Albanian word kudh "pot, jug", therefore meaning "potter’s river, pot-shaped river". The toponym is formed with the Albanian nominal suffix --ëѕ, cf. Gjerbës, Krahëѕ.

It was recorded as Kudes in 1431 in Ottoman defters and Coudessi in 1805 by François Pouqueville.

The village of Kudhës is inhabited by an Orthodox Albanian population.
