The Corinth Canal, Greece, is a man-made engineering marvel. This canal crosses the Isthmus of Corinth, connecting the Gulf of Corinth to the northwest with the Saronic Gulf to the southeast.
Before the canal was built, ships were forced to make a long journey around the Peloponnese peninsula, adding 320 kilometers to their journey.
Around 600 BC, Periander, founder of the Cypselide dynasty of Corinth, had the ingenious idea of transporting ships overland, using a kind of railway, the diolkos (parts of which can still be seen today), along which ships were pulled on wheeled carts across the isthmus.
This practice was used until about the 9th century, when ships outgrew the system.
In 1882, work began on the Corinth Canal, mostly by hand, and was completed 11 years later in 1893.
The canal walls rise to a height of over 80 meters, with a water depth of 8 meters and a length of just over 6 kilometers.
The canal is a popular tourist attraction; large ships are towed through the canal by small tugboats, a fascinating sight to behold.
