Corinth in antiquity it was a
city-state, on the Isthmus of
Corinth, the narrow stretch of land
that joins the Peloponnesus to the
mainland of Greece. To the west of
the isthmus lies the Gulf of
Corinth, to the east lies the
Saronic Gulf. Corinth is about
78 kilometers (48 mi) southwest of Athens. The isthmus, which was
in ancient times traversed by
hauling ships over the rocky ridge
on sledges, is now cut by a canal.
Corinth is now the capital of the
prefecture of
Corinthia. The city is
surrounded by the coastal townies
of (clockwise) Lechaio, Isthmia,
Kechries, and the inland town lets of
Examilia and the archaeological
site. Geophysical the city is
likewise surrounded by the narrow
coastal plain of Vocha, Corinthian
Gulf, Corinth Canal, Saronic Gulf,
Oneia mountains, and the monolithic
rock of Acrocorinth where the
medieval acropolis was built.
The Corinth Canal
is a canal that
connects the Gulf of
Corinth with the
Saronic Gulf in the
Aegean Sea. It cuts
through the narrow
Isthmus of Corinth
and separates the
Peloponnesian
peninsula from the
Greek mainland and
therefore
effectively making
the former an
island. The canal is
6.3 kilometer in
length and was built
between 1881 and
1893.
