Sailing Corinth Canal

Here you see us crossing the Canal of Corinth. You see how the cliffs look on both sides when you pass with your ship (max width is 24 meters). The Canal is only 8 meters deep and one-way traffic. It’s one of the narrowest sea canals in the world and even cruiseships can pass through when they are below 52 meters (because of the 6 bridges over the Canal!). We really enjoyed the sail, it's only 6 km long, but really impressive to see. And it saves ships like us the 340 km of sail south around the penninsula of Pelepponnesos to go from east to west of Greece (or west to east)!
