The Corinth Canal is a narrow, man-made waterway in Greece that connects the Gulf of Corinth with the Saronic Gulf, effectively separating the Peloponnese from the mainland. Completed in 1893, the canal is about 6.4 kilometers long and only 21 meters wide, making it too narrow for most modern ships. However, it remains an iconic engineering feat and a major tourist attraction. The idea of cutting through the Isthmus of Corinth dates back to ancient times, even considered by Emperor Nero. Today, the canal is admired for its steep limestone walls and strategic significance, offering a shortcut that saves ships a 700-kilometer journey around the Peloponnese. While it no longer plays a major commercial role, it continues to captivate visitors with its historical and architectural importance.
We will make a 30-minute stop here so you can enjoy the breathtaking view and take photos from the Isthmus bridge.
