Exploring the Corinth Canal in Euro Truck Simulator 2’s Greece Expansion

At Simuway, we are excited to share the details about one of the most iconic landmarks coming to the Greece expansion of Euro Truck Simulator 2— the Corinth Canal. This impressive feat of engineering, which separates the Peloponnese Peninsula from mainland Greece, is not just a beautiful sight, but also a historically significant marvel.

A Brief History of the Corinth Canal

Let’s first take a quick look at its historical background. The Corinth Canal connects the Gulf of Corinth with the Saronic Gulf, spanning a narrow 6-kilometre stretch. Its strategic importance has been recognized since the 6th century BCE, although the technology of the time made its construction impossible. The canal as we know it today only became a reality thanks to the invention of dynamite in the 19th century. It was completed in just three years, from 1891 to 1893, saving ships from a grueling 400-kilometre detour around the Peloponnese Peninsula.

Standing 84 metres deep, the Corinth Canal is a breathtaking sight, attracting countless visitors each year. Its unique conical shape gives it a width of 75 metres at the top, narrowing to just 21-24 metres at the bottom, with water levels reaching 8 metres.

How Will It Look in ETS2?

In the upcoming Greece expansion for ETS2, our favorite simulation game, the Corinth Canal will be recreated with remarkable attention to detail. The map designers have faithfully rebuilt the major bridges spanning the canal—two dedicated to road traffic and one for the railroad.

But it’s not just about the canal itself. Players will be able to take in the surrounding scenery as well, with a nearby gas station, a rest stop for truckers, and even a dedicated viewpoint where drivers can admire the canal in all its glory.

Stay tuned to Simuway for more exciting updates on the Greece expansion and what other landmarks you can expect to see in Euro Truck Simulator 2!

Discover Greece’s Expansive Road Network in Euro Truck Simulator 2’s Greece DLC

It’s time to hit the road and explore the scenic highways of Greece! In this feature, SCS Software’s thrilled to share details about the intricate road network that’s been developed for the highly anticipated Greece map expansion in Euro Truck Simulator 2.

Truckers will have the opportunity to enter Greece through six different border crossings, providing a range of access points into the country. In previous updates, three of these crossings—Kakavia, Níki – Medzhitlija, and Makaza – Nimphaia—have already been showcased. Once you cross into Greece, you’ll be able to travel in all directions, thanks to an extensive network of highways recreated for this expansion.

The A1, A2, A3, A4, A5, A6, A7, and A8 highways form the backbone of this road network, allowing truckers to reach nearly every corner of the country. Each route is filled with meticulously crafted intersections, adding both challenge and realism to your journey.

A Key Transportation Hub: Igoumenítsa Ferry

One of the most critical access points in Greece is the Igoumenítsa ferry, situated on the west coast. This vital transportation hub connects Greece with Italy, making it an essential route for anyone hauling goods across the Mediterranean. From Igoumenítsa, three major European roads are waiting to be explored, each offering a unique driving experience.

The E55, E90, and E92 Routes: Connecting Europe Through Greece

The E55 is one of Europe’s longest roads, starting far in the north in Sweden and stretching all the way down to the Peloponnese peninsula in southern Greece. If you’re looking for a truly epic cross-continental drive, the E55 will take you through stunning landscapes and culturally rich areas.

Another major route, the E90, connects Portugal to Turkey, cutting across Greece from west to east. As you follow this road, you’ll pass through Thessaloniki and continue along Greece’s beautiful coastline, offering scenic views along the way.

Finally, the E92 links Greece’s west coast with the east, taking drivers through several important cities, including Trikala, one of the highlights of the upcoming Greece DLC.
