Channel of Corinthe ?

[Mambo42]

At the moment the channel of Corinthe is closed for repairs. All I have been able to find is that it will open up this year for a period of 4 months, but I can't find anything on which months that will be.
Anyone has some better information as to when the channel will be open this year ?

there are serious issues with erosion, a few decent downpours and another landslide may happen.
You never know. There was an (expensive iirc) project dealing with stabilisation of the banks at one point and soon after it finished, another bank collapsed nearby...
Nothing on the news atm about it.

According to a marketing email from Seafarer Sailing this morning, "planned to be open between June & September"

That last landslide in 2021 (if I am not mistaken) was quite a heavy one, blocked the whole channel and thank god nobody was underneath it with a boat at the time.
I had hoped it would open up somewhere mid-May, then we could have passed through it. Now we have to take the long way around, which can be quite uncomfortable. The route via Nisos can be some very nasty weather and waves.
