Corinth Canal (Isthmus) - Corinthia | Greece [4K]

It was built between the years 1880 - 1893, the work of the Greek engineer Petros Protopapadakis. Its construction is a result of the development policy of Prime Minister Charilaos Trikoupis, who with the construction of large infrastructure projects aimed at creating a modern and economically developed state.
In modern times the role of the canal in the Greek economy and shipping is limited as most merchant ships can not cross it. The maximum passage width is about 17 meters which corresponds only to handysize type ships. Also the transit fees are very high, which acts as a deterrent to use for smaller boats.
The canal was closed due to a landslide on January 15, 2021and has remained closed since then.
