The Corinth Canal and Athens | Season 3 Episode 15

From the tight squeeze of the Corinth Canal to the ancient heights of the Acropolis, this episode follows our journey through some of Greece’s most iconic landmarks. We begin by navigating the 21-meter-wide limestone walls of the canal—a 337-euro transit that passes through two millennia of human ambition. After finding a protected anchorage in Poros, we head inland to Athens, where we explore the architectural wonders of the Parthenon. We dive into the history of its optical illusions, the "sacred olive tree" where Athena allegedly struck the earth, and the ongoing controversy surrounding the Elgin Marbles at the state-of-the-art Parthenon Gallery. Between the awe-inspiring relics and local city life, it’s an unforgettable chapter of our adventure before we finally head back to sea. https://www.facebook.com/fivegosailing https://www.instagram.com/fivegosailing​ If you are able and would like to support us we have a 'buy us an ice-cream' page here is the link: https://ko-fi.com/fivegosailing
