Corinth: Looking east over the incredible Corinth Canal in July 2023. The bridge was opened in 2005 to carry the new standard gauge line that will eventually link Athens to Patras and Kalamata. It was electrified in 2011 as the line slowly extends across the Peloponnese peninsula. The eastern entrance to the canal is near here but obscured by the bridge.
