Corinth Canal - The Corinth Canal connects the Gulf of Corinth in the Ionian Sea 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 many modern ships.
From high up, you can enjoy the best view of Corinth’s isthmus and admire the steep limestone walls while you observe the vessels below you navigate their way through the canal.

Embark on a one-hour journey from Athens to Corinth in a luxurious, air-conditioned car or van. Relish the mesmerizing view as you follow the shoreline of the Saronic Gulf into the Peloponnese, and watch in awe as vessels traverse the Corinth canal.

Pay a visit to a family-run olive oil mill, wander around ancestral olive plantations - the first family tree planted by a forebear - and deepen your knowledge about extra virgin olive oil whilst sampling it.
