Bicycle touring Greece. The Corinth Canal, completed in 1893, is an impressive 6 km long sheer-walled channel, cut through solid rock at the narrowest land section of the Isthmus of Corinth, linking the Aegean and Ionian seas. (In ancient times, before the canal, vessels were frequently pulled to and from the gulf overland across the isthmus!) Large vessels today are easily pulled through the canal by a mighty tug. |
