Lake Doxa, Reservoir in Sikyona Municipality, Greece
Lake Doxa stretches across 0.5 square kilometers at 900 meters elevation, reaching depths of 40 meters between Mount Aroania and Mount Dourdouvana.
The construction of this artificial lake concluded in the 1990s, leading to the relocation of Saint George Monastery to higher ground north of the water.
The Chapel of Agios Fanourios stands on a small peninsula at the center of the lake, connected to the shore by a dirt path.
Visitors can explore numerous hiking trails around the lake, rent boats for water activities, or stay at nearby accommodations in the Feneos region.
During the reservoir's construction, workers discovered ancient artifacts, including a statue of Hermes and a Roman bathhouse, now displayed at the Archaeological Museum.
