Corinth Canal

Visiting the Corinth Canal from the first stop of Athens westbound is the Corinth Canal with a length of 79 meters. The coordinates of the Corinth Canal are the deepest canals in the world. It is also a rare canal in the hard rock area. This narrow and slender waterway provides access from the Aegean Sea to The shortcuts to the sea in Ionia saved small and medium ships time and cost for the supertankers and container ships in modern shipping. The canal was still too small for the supertankers and container ships in modern shipping. The vast project of excavating the canal was largely built during the reign of Roman Emperor Nero in 67 AD Works on the Jewish prisoners in the Jewish colonies of the Roman Empire were halted in 68 AD 1892 a French company began construction of the canal 1893 completed by the Greek government. The long canal was provided through the Corinthian Isthmus. The sea shortcut bridge from the Aegean to Ionia straddles the highway bridge above the canal and the pedestrian trails for tourists provide a chance to take a photo. The water in the sunny canal makes a super dreamy blue-green monument. Next to it, I found a smiling Greek dog so cute.

The canal split the Peloponnese Peninsula from the Greek mainland, and appears to have become a true big island, which was said to have been imagined more than 2,000 years ago until the end of the 19th world. It is the deepest canal in the world and one of the few canals that have been dug in hard rock areas. But it still looks narrow compared to modern oversized freighters, so the unemployment rate is not high, mostly just tourism.

The Corinthian Canal is a canal across the Corinthian Isthmus in southern Greece, connecting the Gulf of Corinth and the Gulf of Saronique, connecting the Ionian and Aegean Seas, dividing the Peloponnese Peninsula from the Greek mainland. The Peloponnese Peninsula is actually an island. The Corinth Canal is only5.5 kilometers long, but at a depth of 79 meters, it is the deepest canal in the world, and one of the few canals that have been dug in hard rock areas. The most eye-catching thing about the Corinth Canal is the sharp rock walls on both sides of the bank. Occasionally, cruise ships sailed past, we first went to the bridge on the left, first went to the right to see the boat. The river is very low, to take a photo with the river, the camera must be held high. There is also a bungee jumping platform on the lower level of the bridge, we also saw bungee jumping. It is said that there will be tourists padlocking on the bridge railings before. Since the weight of the lock will affect the safety of the bridge, it has been removed and banned from hanging again, so it has been changed to these garbage bags on the bridge railings (last picture).

The Corinth Canal connects the canals of the Gulf of Corinth, the Aegean Sea and the Gulf of Saronique, which crosses the narrow isthmus of Corinth, dividing the Greek mainland and the Peloponnese Peninsula. It was built in 1881 and cost a lot of manpower and manual excavation. After several twists and turns, it was finally completed in 1893, and the total length was 6.4 kilometers.

The canal, built by Roman Emperor Nero, was the hard and miserable labor of the working people, the slaves, in an era of mechanical and technological underdevelopment, and changed the organization of transportation in this region. Today, although the Corinthian canal has limited passage capacity, it is still the remains of the Roman Empire project we can see today.
