You step into the minivan at dawn, Athens shrinking in the rearview while limestone ridges and olive groves expand to meet the road. Sea salt and pines mingle on the coastal drive to the narrow, engineering‑scarred throat of the Corinth Canal — a 6.4 km cut that still feels audacious against the isthmus.
