It cuts through the narrow Isthmus of Corinth and separates the Peloponnese from the Greek mainland. At the Corinth Canal, you’ll have a short break to refresh and stretch your legs while taking in one of Greece’s most impressive engineering feats and enjoiyng the view of this remarkable man-made passage. From the viewpoint above, you can look down into the narrow canal carved through rock and take striking photos of the waters connecting the Aegean and Ionian Seas. A refreshing pause and a great opportunity to capture a unique moment before the journey continues.
