Corinth, Continental Greece

The region of Corinth is the first step on a tour when you come to Athens. It is especially interesting for lovers of archaeology. The Corinth Canal, 50 miles west of Athens, is impressive. Only 82 ft wide for a length of 307 miles, it transformed the Peloponnese, at the time of its completion in 1893, into a huge island, the first in Greece.
