Weekend escape to Lake Doxa up on the mountains of Korinthia
Seldom we notice a positive outcome as a result to the human interference on the environment. Lake Doxa is a splendid example of this kind and one of the best cases where the human factor has created an absolutely dreamy landscape. The lake was initially created to aid the irrigation of the plains of Feneos but up to today it has not yet been used towards this purpose. By the lake, do not omit to visit the chapel of St. Fanourios, as well as the monastery of St. George which has been moved further away from the banks due to extensive flooding.
While in the area, it is worthy of your effort to take a long and invigorating stroll around the lake or indeed a ride on a bicycle and admire the landscape which is full of fir trees and pines. According to the four seasons of the year, the lake transforms to a totally different scenery without, however, losing any of its wit and beauty.
The lake does not have a great past to share since it only counts 15 years of existence. Nonetheless, it attracts numerous visitors on an annual basis who surrender to the beauty of the three mountain peaks right above it…those of Mounts Ziria, Helmos and Ntourntouvana altogether providing a marvelous alpine setting.
