At both entrances to the historic Corinth canal the land is so close to sea level that the 1988 constructed bridges use an interesting design: rather than a tall structure or a draw bridge, these can be submerged 8 m deep into the water. It's fun to bike across and worth watching if you are so lucky that a boat or ship is approaching.

The 6.5 km Corinth canal, first tried 2500 years ago, was finally cut across the narrow land bridge in the 1890s to connect the seas east and west of Greece without having to sail around the dangerous waters of the Peleponnes. Between about 700BC and 100AD some sort of early trackway (diolkos) was used to pull ships and cargo across the isthmus; the tracks and wheel cuts are still visible in the rocks.
Wiki en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diolkos has some more background
