Posisi stratefis Tanah Genting Korintus di antara dua laut

Diolkos (Δίολκος, dari bahasa Yunani διά, dia "menyeberang", dan ὁλκός, holkos "mesin pengangkutan perahu") adalah sebuah jalan kecil beraspal dekat Korintus di Yunani Kuno yang memungkinkan perahu dipindahkan melalui darat menyeberangi Tanah Genting Korintus. The shortcut allowed ancient vessels to avoid the long and dangerous circumnavigation of the Peloponnese peninsula. The phrase "as fast as a Corinthian", penned by the comic playwright Aristophanes, indicates that the trackway was common knowledge and had acquired a reputation for swiftness.
