Corinth Canal during lockdown by Sailboat

We made it through the famous Corinth Canal - Greece. The canal is 8m deep and excavated at sea level so it doesn’t need any locks. It took them 12 years to make it and it was first opened in 1893. The canal shaves off a 700km journey around the Peloponnese peninsula and around 11,000 ships pass through each year, mostly small vessels that can handle the narrowness and are able to dodge the result of landslides the sit under the surface. Crossing the Corinth canal is certainly one of the most impressive sailing routes for a research sailboat in the Mediterranean sea. Crossing from the Aegean to the Ionian sea in only a few miles of corinth canal: Cliffs on either side of the sailboat it makes for a stunning experience! And the bay of corinth on the other side is yet another pleasant surprise. More about the adventures to come in our next videos as we keep sailing north towards croatia.
