Corinth Canal The famous Corinth Canal is the absolute landmark of Loutraki Municipality, which separates the Peloponnese from mainland Greece and connects the Gulf of Corinth with the Saronic Gulf. The Corinth Canal, though only completed in the late 19th century, was an idea and dream that dates back over 2000 thousand years. Several rulers in antiquity dreamed of digging a cutting through the Isthmus. The first to propose such an undertaking was the tyrant Periander in the 7th century BC. The concept of the canal opening was revived again during the late 1800’s. After several years and many tryouts, the Corinth Canal was finally completed and started operations on 25th of April 1893.
