What To Expect
A beautiful and easy hike just a few kilometers outside of the city of Heraklion. Juktas, the human-head-like mountain (Greek Γιούχτας – Giouhtas) was an important religious site for the Minoans.
According to the legend, this is the face of Zeus (the king of the Gods) and the mountain is his tomb. Indeed, the name Juktas is a corruption of the Latin word for Zeus, Jupiter. On the mountain, we find three archeological sites, an old monastery, and a church.
What to Bring:
• Trekking shoes
• Windproof jacket
• Camera
• Sun Screen
• Hat – sun glasses
Highlights
• The panoramic view of the sea and Dia island from the top of the mountain.
