ChatGPT says this about the canal:

The Corinth Canal is an iconic engineering feat in Greece that connects the Gulf of Corinth with the Saronic Gulf, slicing through the narrow Isthmus of Corinth. This canal significantly shortened the maritime route by eliminating the need for ships to navigate around the Peloponnese peninsula. The canal is about 6.4 kilometers long, 24.6 meters wide at sea level, and 8 meters deep, with steep limestone walls that occasionally cause landslides.The history of the canal is rich and dates back to ancient times. The concept was first envisioned by the tyrant Periander in the 7th century BC, but due to technical challenges, he opted instead for a simpler solution called the Diolkos—a roadway that allowed ships to be transported overland across the isthmus. Several attempts were made by various rulers, including Roman emperors like Nero and Julius Caesar, but they all failed to complete the canal due to various reasons, including political turmoil and engineering challenges.It wasn't until 1882 that the construction of the modern Corinth Canal began, driven by the Greek statesman Ioannis Kapodistrias and later completed under the oversight of French engineers. The canal was finally inaugurated in 1893 but faced numerous issues over the years, including being blocked during World War II. It was eventually cleared by the US Army Corps of Engineers in 1947. Today, the canal is mostly used by tourist cruise ships, yachts, and small recreational boats due to its narrowness, which prevents larger modern ships from passing through.For a more detailed exploration of the Corinth Canal's history and significance, you might find this comprehensive look interesting from sources like WorldAtlas and GreekReporter.
