Today we are taking a short VFR flight to the Corinth Canal. The Corinth Canal connects the Ionian Sea with the Aegean Sea in Greece. The canal is only 6.4 kilometers long and very narrow. A first attempt to build it failed in the 1st century AD. It was completed in 1893, but was never used as much as expected and is now mainly a tourist attraction. We take off from LGMG military airfield and fly west along the coast until we reach the canal. We then fly along the canal to the Gulf of Corinth, and then around the mountain to the east to our destination airport LGEL.
