An incredible marvel of beauty and engineering! The Corinth Canal, one of the most efficient constructions ever created, has been in continuous operation since 750 BC. This remarkable feat of ancient engineering connects the Saronic Gulf with the Corinthian Gulf, significantly contributing to the development of the shipping industry by drastically reducing travel time for vessels. Stretching 6.4 kilometers in length and with a width of 21.3 meters, it allows ships to bypass the long and perilous journey around the Peloponnese peninsula. Over the centuries, the canal has not only facilitated trade and commerce but also stood as a testament to human ingenuity and perseverance. Today, it remains a fully active and vital waterway, attracting thousands of tourists and maritime enthusiasts from around the world.
