The Corinth Canal links the Gulf of Corinth in the Ionian Sea to the Saronic Gulf in the Aegean Sea, slicing through the narrow Isthmus of Corinth and creating a separation between the Peloponnese and the Greek mainland, potentially transforming the peninsula into an island. Carved through the isthmus at sea level without any locks, the canal spans 6.4 kilometers (4 mi) in length and has a base width of only 21.4 meters (70 ft), rendering it impassable for numerous contemporary vessels. Observing from an elevated vantage point, you can appreciate the panoramic view of Corinth's isthmus, marvel at the steep limestone walls, and witness vessels below navigating the canal's passage.
