The Corinth Canal in Corinth, Greece, is a remarkable feat of engineering that cuts through the narrow Isthmus of Corinth, connecting the Gulf of Corinth with the Saronic Gulf. Measuring approximately 6.4 kilometers (4 miles) in length and about 21.4 meters (70 feet) in width, the canal significantly reduces the maritime travel distance between the Aegean Sea and the Ionian Sea, eliminating the need for ships to navigate around the Peloponnese Peninsula. The canal's steep limestone walls rise up to 63 meters (207 feet) above sea level, creating a dramatic and visually striking passage.
