What To Expect

Corinth Canal

The Corinth Canal is a strategic, man-made waterway in Greece, cutting through the narrow Isthmus of Corinth to connect the Gulf of Corinth with the Saronic Gulf in the Aegean Sea. Completed in 1893 after several failed attempts dating back to ancient times, the canal is 6.4 kilometers (4 miles) long and 21.4 meters (70 feet) wide at its base. It significantly reduces the maritime travel distance by 700 kilometers (430 miles), avoiding the lengthy circumnavigation of the Peloponnese peninsula.The successful completion in the 19th century was a significant engineering feat, symbolizing the triumph of modern technology over ancient ambitions. Despite its narrow width limiting the size of vessels that can navigate it, the canal remains a vital maritime route for smaller ships and a popular tourist attraction, highlighting Greece's rich history and engineering prowess.
