Doxa is a small but well-known cave in Marathos.[1]

There is a taverna located right next to the mouth of the cave.[2] You can borrow flashlights at this taverna which is essential to go into the cave.

From the entrance begins a downhill corridor that leads to four rooms. The name Doxa means glory in Greek.
