Lake Doxa is an artificial lake located at Feneo, Korinthias, at 1.100 m above sea level. In the middle of the lake you’ll see the church of Agios Fanourios. In the past there use to be a monastery at the dam of Feneo-Doxa, known as Moni Agiou Georgiou (also known as Palaiomonastiro), which due to flooding it was moved to a nearby hill.
Although the lake is artificial, made in 1998, it has perfectly integrated into the surrounding environment since it is said that there used to be one here in antiquity. Legend has it that this is where Hercules dried out a lake.
