The Canal di Corinto is a spectacular artificial waterway connecting the Gulf of Saronikos (Aegean Sea) with the Gulf of Corinto (Ionian Sea), saving approximately 200 km of travel for navigation. Constructed between 1881 and 1893, it is characterized by its high rocky walls and limited width, making it best suited for recreational boats, although the cruise ship Braemar did pass through in 2019. Its history dates back to antiquity, with failed attempts as early as Roman and Venetian times, culminating in its inauguration in 1893. Today, despite challenges due to wall instability and war damage, the canal remains an iconic feat of engineering, also traversable thanks to the road bridges that lower to allow ships to pass.Wikipedia
