Corinth Canal, Greece

The 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 and therefore effectively makes the former an island. The canal is 6.3 kilometres in length and was built between 1881 and 1893.

At the other end of the Canal, on the Corinthian Gulf, the monument of Ancient Diolkos has been suffering EXTREME damage for decades among frauds and false assertions of care. Please visit my channel for short videos, info and links.

Very well done. I have never seen a bridge like that, a bridge that submerges. I believe that this bridge is the most westerly on the canal, between Korinthos (Corinth) and Loutraki.
