Greece - Feneos, Lake Doxa

Lake Doxa ( Λίμνη Δόξα) is an artifial lake. It is situated at an elevation of almost 900 meters and was dammed in the late 1990s. The lake was created to improve irrigation and to address the problem of high tide which destroyed the crops in the region. The lake - which covers an area of over half a square kilometer - is fed and drained by the river Doxa. The lake reaches a maximum depth of 40 meters.

Lake Doxa is surrounded by oaks and pine forests. It has been declared a nature reserve, being a habitat to regional flora and fauna and an area of great natural beauty.
