Mount Juktas offers a unique landscape surrounded by vineyards and olive groves, full of myths, mysteries and beliefs, which follow it from antiquity and stem from its unique natural shape, strongly reminiscent of a human face, which legend has it to be Zeus. Just a few kilometers from ancient Knossos, it was the first mountain the Minoans saw when they arrived by ship at the port, believing that the giant 811-meter face was that of Zeus. At the top of Mount Juktas stands the church of the Savior Christ, which is a four-column church and is dedicated to the Transfiguration of Christ. The holy temple celebrates on August 6, where on the eve of the evening and on the day of the Divine Liturgy it gathers a large number of visitors from all over Crete. The view from the courtyard of the church, which is located on the edge of the cliff, is impressive and reaches the city of Heraklion and the sea. On the afternoon of August 5, the eve of the great feast, many believers start walking from the path located directly opposite Villa Irisma to climb the mountain reaching the top of Juktas at the Church of the Savior Christ to attend the Divine Liturgy.
