The Corinth Canal was a construction dream - a challenge that lasted 2,300 years.
From the testimonies of ancient writers it appears that the Tyrant of Corinth Periander was the first to think about the opening of the Isthmus, around 602 BC.
Today, the Corinth Canal remains closed, as from mid-January 2021, part of its territory receded into the water, resulting in the cessation of ship traffic indefinitely.
