- Isthmus of Corinth - Isthmus of Corinth dividing the Saronic Gulf from the Gulf of Corinth, an inlet of the Ionian Sea. It connects the Peloponnese with mainland Greece. In ancient times ships were dragged over the isthmus in transit between the Saronikós and Corinthian gulfs. The idea for a shortcut to save boats from having to sail all the way around the Peloponnese was long considered by the Ancient Greeks. The first attempt to build a canal there was carried out by the tyrant Periander in the 7th century BC. In 67 CE the Roman emperor Nero began constructing a canal through it. Finally, in 1893 a 3.9-mile (6.3-km) ship canal, the Corinth Canal, was opened that shortened the journey from the Adriatic Sea to Athens’ port, Piraeus, by more than 200 miles (320 km). To the south is the site of the Isthmian sanctuary at which the biennial Isthmian Games were celebrated in antiquity.
