Concrete Bunker on Rocky Outcrop
Highlight • Monument
Originally, machine guns or artillery were positioned there.
The striking, almost floating appearance resulted from massive soil erosion and landslides on the steep canal walls.
The ruins are now a popular destination for hikers and "Dark Tourism" enthusiasts.
Due to their location directly on the precipitous cliffs, some of these structures are considered to be at risk of collapse.

Old Bridge Remains
Highlight • Bridge
This massive component served as a support point and anchor for the steel structure of the original railway bridge, which connected the Peloponnese with the Greek mainland.
The ramp is located directly at the edge of the steep wall on the west side of the canal.
While the metal bridge structure itself was replaced or removed over time, this foundation has been preserved as a widely visible monument to late 19th-century engineering.

Poseidon
Highlight • Monument
The statue depicts either the sea god Poseidon or the father of the gods Zeus. As the attribute in the raised right hand (a trident for Poseidon or a thunderbolt for Zeus) is missing, the exact identity remains controversial in archaeology.
The original is a life-size bronze statue dating from around 460 BC. It was recovered in two parts from an ancient shipwreck off Cape Artemision in the north of the island of Euboea in 1926 and 1928. Today, the original is housed in the National Archaeological Museum in Athens.
This copy is located on the beach of Poseidonia.
