“The famous 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 Peloponnesian peninsula from the Greek mainland, thus effectively making the former an island. The canal is 3 miles in length and only 67ft wide at its base. Earth cliffs flanking either side of the canal reach a maximum height of 201ft. Aside from a few modest sized cruise ships, the Corinth Canal is unserviceable to most modern ships.” w/ photos
