• Corinth Canal - The half-day tour of Ancient Corinth begins with a 45-mile journey along the National Highway. The tour will arrive at the famous Corinth Canal, also known as the Isthmus Canal, which links the Saronic Sea with the Corinthian Sea.
  The canal, completed in the late 19th century, was a dream over 2000 years in the making. Prior to its construction, ships in the Aegean Sea wishing to reach the Adriatic or dock in Corinth, a prosperous shipping hub, had to navigate around the Peloponnese, adding an extra 185 nautical miles to their voyage.
  It is believed that Periander, the tyrant of Corinth in 602 BC, was the first to envision the Corinth Canal. Due to the complexity of the project and the limited technology of the era, Periander built the diolkós, a stone road that enabled ships to be moved on wheeled platforms.
  In 67 AD, Emperor Nero attempted to construct the canal with the labor of 6,000 slaves, but his assassination halted the project before completion. The canal was finally completed in the last decade of the 19th century.
