The Isthmus of Corinth is an isthmus that connects the Peloponnese and mainland central Greece. In ancient times, the isthmus was crossed by towing ships on sleds across the rocky isthmus. It has been easier since the 19th century (laid out 1881-93), since the Corinth Canal (6.34 km long, 24.5 m wide) has been located here. It connects the Isthmus of Corinth with the Saronic Gulf.

Not really a highlight for hiking - more for a stopover by car, but still worthwhile!

Very impressive view from the bridge.

Narrow metal bridge that now just serves bikers and pedestrians to cross the impressive central section of the ancient canal. Great undisturbed views

An impressive structure. The Romans and Venetians tested this building almost 2,000 years earlier. However, they failed several times due to immense costs and technical possibilities.

Fun way to bike across the canal: 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 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 at the west entrance. Wikipedia has some more info about the diolkos https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diolkos
