Corinth Canal

On our way to Corinth we stopped off real quick to take a look at the Corinth Canal....unfortunately we left the camera on the bus but Jon used his iPhone to take a picture.
Pictures don't really do this sight any justice. It literally takes your breath away when you stand on the bridge looking down on it. Construction of the canal began in 1881 and it was completed in 1893.  The canal connects the Gulf of Corinth with the Saronic Gulf in the Aegean Sea. It's main purpose now is really only for tourists!
