Your experience
Stop 1
Discover the magic of one of Greece's most impressive technical achievements with an unprecedented cruise on the Corinth Canal. The narrow passage that unites the Saronic Gulf with the Corinthian Gulf is a reference point for both its historical significance and its imposing presence. The route through the narrow canal, with the vertical rocks up to 80 meters high on either side of the ship, offers a breathtaking experience. As the ship crosses the channel, guests enjoy unique views, excellent photographic opportunity and a sense of admiration in front of a work that ended in the late 19th century and remains functional to this day. Whether you are a lovers of history or looking for a separate marine experience, the cruise on the Corinth Canal is something you should not miss.
