Info: Corinth, located in southern Greece, is a historic city known for the impressive Corinth Canal, which connects the Aegean and Ionian Seas. This narrow, man-made waterway cuts through the Isthmus of Corinth, dramatically separating mainland Greece from the Peloponnese. Completed in the late 19th century, the canal is about 6 kilometers long and 21 meters wide, making it too narrow for modern cargo ships but a striking sight for tourists. Corinth itself is rich in ancient history, featuring ruins like the Temple of Apollo and the Acrocorinth fortress, offering a blend of engineering marvel and archaeological wonder.
