The day starts at the impressive Corinth Canal, a project that took over 2,300 years to complete. Ancient leaders like Julius Caesar and Nero studied its construction, with Nero beginning digging in 67 AD. Finished in 1893, the canal stretches 6,343 meters long, 24.6 meters wide, and 21.3 meters deep, built by 2,500 workers who moved 12 million cubic meters of earth. Today, it remains a vital marine passage, used by around 12,000 ships each year from around the world.
