He was the first chair of Linguistics and Indian Philology at the University of Athens in 1890–1923. His family was traditionally part of the elevations on the island Crete against the Ottoman Empire. After other three-year school visit in Athen he signed up Chatzidakis at the faculty of philosophy of the university of Athen for classical philology.
Since then Chatzidakis stood in contact with German researchers as for example also with more than 15 year younger Albert Thumb who wrote his Nekrolog for him and often cited introduction to the modern Greek grammar also published into German, in particular them also even today.
After his return to Greece he was first a grammar school teacher in Athen and was conferred a doctorate the next year with a thesis Συμβολή εις την Ιστορίαν της Ελληνικής Γλώσσης ("Contribution to the History of the Greek Language") at the university there.
