The Corinth Canal in Greece is an impressive human-constructed waterway that connects the Ionian Sea with the Aegean Sea.
The canal was completed between 1881 and 1893 and allows small ships to take a 325-kilometer shortcut around the Peloponnese peninsula.
Corinth Canal is about 6.4 kilometers long, but only 21 meters wide, making it impassable for many modern and large ships.
Currently, it is of little economic importance and is mainly a tourist attraction.
The steep walls of the canal rise up to 80 meters high, and the view is spectacular, especially when small ships pass through the narrow waterway.
At present, the Corinth Canal is a popular tourist attraction and an interesting engineering structure that shows how people adapted geography to facilitate navigation.
