What it is
At each mouth of the canal, at Isthmia on the Saronic side and at Posidonia on the Gulf of Corinth side, there is a bridge that does not lift: it sinks. When a ship arrives, the deck drops to the bottom of the water, the ship passes over it and the bridge rises again. If you coincide with a manoeuvre, it is a few minutes that children love; if not, the place still deserves the stop for seeing the canal from below, at water level.
Getting there
From the Isthmus pedestrian bridge it is about 5 km along the Isthmia road to the east mouth. Park next to the quay. The boats that cross the canal also leave from here.
Tips
- Go at boat time The excursion boats leave from Isthmia: if you arrive at departure time, you will see the bridge go down.
