Lake Doxa

Lake Doxa is an artificial lake located in mountainous Corinthia, at an altitude of 900 metres. It has an area of approximately 2.5 square kilometres and a maximum depth of 40 metres. Its waters come from streams originating from the surrounding mountains, such as Helmos, Dourdouvanas (Pentelia Mountain).

Lake Doxa is one of the most popular tourist attractions of mountainous Corinthia which. The lake is surrounded by dense forests of spruce and pine, creating an idyllic landscape. The area is ideal for hiking, cycling, nature photography simple relaxation and meditation through the trails. On the lake is the chapel of Agios Fanourios, which is built on a small island in the centre of the lake. The chapel is accessible by boat or by hiking along the shore of the lake.

It is worth mentioning:

On weekends the area gets too crowded especially around the lake and is not recommended for relaxing inside the lake (lakeside). If you decide to walk this particular trail, I suggest arriving early enough to even find parking near the starting point!

Alternatively, you can arrive at the point in the afternoon to stay overnight so that you have the opportunity to enjoy the magical morning, peace and tranquility that the lake offers and then walk part or all of the hiking trail!
