Corinth is about 80 km west of Athens and is a celebrated city that joins central Greece to the Peloponnese through a six-kilometer waterway. Also referred to as the Corinth Canal, it has facilitated cruise ships sailing toward the Saronic Gulf. For many years the canal has commanded the traffic of both the eastern and the western seas. Opening the canal through the Isthmus, made the Romans, Byzantines, and Venetians feel overwhelmed and give up overnight. As centuries passed, with science and technology growing, the Corinth Canal was finally completed. It is now the safest access route to and from all destinations in the Mediterranean and the Black Sea ports.
Before you cross the Corinth Canal, you are going to love exploring several sites and landmarks. Do not miss the Loutraki Waterfalls and the Sousaki Volcano. Both landmarks have interesting rock formations and amazing scenery. The Melagavi Lighthouse and the Heraion of Perachora are also visited by thousands of culture and history lovers. After unraveling the ancient city’s glorious sites, it is time for you to enjoy a boat trip in Corinth. By exploring various islands and beaches across the Gulf you will have a wonderful boating adventure in Greece.
