Lake Doxa is an artificial lake, 40′ drive from Trikala. It is located on a 900m altitude and was created in the late 90’s.

Games in the snow
On mount Ziria’s plateau (or Killini), on a 1500m altitude, only 10km from the rapidly developed Corinthia’s Trikala tourist resort and very close from Athens as well as Patra, there is Ziria’s ski center since 2007. It’s one of the newest ski centers in the country, the closest to Attiki and it is ideal for beginners and families with children who want to take ther first steps in skiing.
THE MYSTY MEET IN MOUNTAIN CORINTHIA
Lake Stimfalia is located on the mountain Corinthia, which became known from Hercules who performed one of its 12 feats, the 6th, with the Stimfalian hens, that is “the birds of Stimalia”, which were man-eating birds with bronze beaks, claws and wings. The ancient findings were discovered by the Canadian archeologist, professor Hector Williiams. Walking around the area you will find ruins of houses, a theater, a little Temple and an Acropolis.

ALPINE LAND IN MOUNTAIN CORINTHIA
At 3.7 km from the Ziria Ski Center, we see Dasiou Lake in front of us. The Dasiou Lake is formed by the waters flowing here from the surrounding peaks of Mount Ziria. Around it there are many firs, while the whole area is overgrown. The mild dirt road passes by the lake gives the visitor a very good view. It is worth noting that here in the winter the landscape becomes alpine, as the snow floods the area and the lake freezes.
