The Corinth Canal, dug at the end of the 19th century, connects the Gulf of Corinth in the Ionian Sea with the Saronic Gulf in the Aegean Sea. It cuts through the narrow Isthmus of Corinth and separates the Peloponnese from the Greek mainland, arguably making the peninsula an island. The canal was dug through the isthmus at sea level and has no locks.
It's 6.4 km long, it has a maximum boat beam of 17.6 m and a maximum draft of 7.3 m.
