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.
Designated as a protected site for fauna and flora under the EU's Natura 2000 programme, Lake Stymphalia is more of a wetlands area surrounded by lovely mountains.
