Day One, The Corinth Canal

On day one of our trip to Genoa, we traveled once again through the Corinth Canal. The canal bridges the Ionian Sea to the Aegean Sea with a length of nearly 4 miles, the canal cuts nearly 430 miles of travel distance. The base has a distance of 70 feet from wall to wall and the rock walls reach more than 300 feet from sea level. It dates back to 1893 and its quite an experience traveling the modern marvel. More than 11,000 boats travel the canal each year making it a popular route for tourist and also a BIG income for the government. The canal is a crucial time saver and also a once in a lifetime opportunity, well make that twice now for me.
