Highlights
- Corinth Canal - The Corinth Canal connects the Gulf of Corinth with the Saronic Gulf in the Aegean Sea. It cuts through the narrow Isthmus of Corinth and separates the Peloponnese from the Greek mainland, arguably making the peninsula an island. The canal was dug through the Isthmus at sea level and has no locks. It is 6.4 kilometres (4 mi) in length and only 21.4 metres (70 ft) wide at its base, making it impassable for most modern ships. Nowadays it has little economic importance and is mainly a tourist attraction. The canal was initially proposed in classical times and a failed effort was made to build it in the 1st century AD.Construction started in 1881 but was hampered by geological and financial problems that bankrupted the original builders. It was completed in 1893 but, due to the canal’s narrowness, navigational problems and periodic closures to repair landslides from its steep walls, it failed to attract the level of traffic expected by its operators.

Nice expreience of some interesting greek sights - The taxi driver arrived before time at the hotel and took me first to the canal of Corinth and then to the temple of Apollon.
The entrance fee to the temple of Apollon is 8 Euros and it's worth it.
After the temple, we went back to the canal of Corinth, but unfortunately, there were no ships passing.
After 4 hours, we were back in Athens.
