If Stymphalia doesn’t have much water, Lake Doxa is full of it. That’s because the lake was created artificially by damming the area. Looking quite natural, the lake is surrounded by pine and other forests against a backdrop of the Chelmos mountaintop (or Aroania). Noteworthy are the churches of Agios Fanourious and the monastery of Saint George which was moved to a higher location as the lake was developed in the 1990s. While there aren’t too many modern roads around it, there are plenty of hiking paths.
This museum showcases silverwork, woodwork, embroidery, furniture, tools and more from the early 19th century to the 20th century. See male & female costumes from different parts of Greece, plus a library with books from the 17th-19th centuries.

The region of Nemea, known more for its wine, also contains some ruins, a small sample of what remains of Ancient Nemea. A few columns from the temple of Zeus and some foundations, as well as parts of a palaestra and a stadium for the Pan-Hellenic games can be found. Aidonia near Nemea has remains of a Mycenean cemetery, while 4 kilometers from the village of Derveni there are remains of an ancient theatre.
