Corinth Canal reopening 01 May 2024

[Irish Rover]

I'm planning to traverse the canal 1st week of May. The official website says it's reopening on 01 May. I hope it's true. It used to close one day per week but no mention of that on the website. Anyone have more information on this?
They now have an online notification and payment system. Fee for my boat €248 .

Nice photo (too big a file to post here) in the Guardian of the sailing ship Bélem transiting the canal, with the following somewhat garbled caption:

'The Bélem, a three-masted sailing ship from 1896 that is carrying the Olympic flame from Greece to Marseille in France, sails after crossing the Corinth canal.'

It's worth the money, been through 4 times, the online booking sounds great, it used to be a bit of fight getting along side to pay, enjoy.

I'm planning to go through tomorrow and just paid the fee online.

We left Galaxidi around 06.30 and we were admitted to the Canal almost immediately on arrival at 12.00. Huge work done over the winter and it looks like a lot more planned. We're anchored east of Pireaus in Ormos Varis and ashore enjoying a cold Mythos.
