Why is the Corinth Canal famous?
The Corinth Canal stretches 6.4 kilometers (4 miles) long, but its most striking feature is its narrow width—only about 21 meters (69 feet) wide at the surface. This tight fit means the canal can only accommodate small ships and recreational boats, making it a haven for yacht owners and adventurous sailors.
Do ships still use the Corinth Canal?
The canal is currently used mainly by tourist ships; around 15,000 ships per year travel through the waterway.
