Carved through the isthmus at sea level without any locks, the canal stretches 6.4 kilometers (4 mi) in length and has a base width of only 21.4 meters (70 ft), making it impassable for many modern vessels. From an elevated viewpoint, you can enjoy the panoramic view of Corinth’s isthmus, admire the steep limestone walls, and watch vessels below navigating the canal’s passage.
