Originally, there was a desire to dig it as early as the 7th century BC, but for a long time, it was considered impossible. It wasn't until 1882 that the Greeks took on the project, hiring experienced architects from the Panama Canal, and completed the construction in 1893.

Nowadays, mainly cruise liners and tourist ships pass through it – mostly under tow to avoid eroding the walls.
