- Corinth Canal - Begin the journey by driving along the coastline until reaching the Corinth Canal for a brief stop.
The Corinth Canal links the Gulf of Corinth with the Saronic Gulf in the Aegean Sea. It traverses the narrow Isthmus of Corinth, effectively separating the Peloponnese from the Greek mainland, thus arguably turning the peninsula into an island.
It is regarded as one of Greece’s remarkable engineering feats.
The canal was excavated through the Isthmus at sea level and does not have any locks. It stretches 6.4 kilometers (4 miles) in length and is 21.4 meters (70 feet) wide at its base. The construction of the canal took place from 1880 to 1893, although shipowners and captains had envisioned it for approximately 2000 years before it became a reality.
