The Corinth Canal in Greece is one of the oldest such canals in the world and a very important navigational route in the Greek archipelago connecting the Gulf of Corinth with the Saronic Gulf. The Corinth Canal cuts through the isthmus of Corinth in Greece, connecting the Ionian Sea with the Aegean. The canal saves around 300 miles of the journey for ships around the cape, enabling them to reach ports to the east faster and safer. Presently, it is a popular destination and the 2nd most visited place in Greece, attracting people from across the world. Corinth is an archaeological site with many ancient landmarks. Spanning a distance of 6.3 kilometres, the Corinth Canal has a depth of 26 feet, and its width alters between a minimum of 69 feet and a maximum of 82 feet at the bottom and at the surface, respectively. Surrounded by walls standing at a height of 170 feet, the canal helps ships to save a journey of 185 nautical miles.
