The Peloponnese is the southernmost part of Greece (mainland), it is washed by the Ionian Sea and the Saronic Gulf.

Later, work began on the creation of the channel. But in those days there were no such technologies, and political vicissitudes created a lot of obstacles for the implementation of the plan.
