More damage for Diolkos as one more block has recently fallen... Although the Archeological Service knew that this particular block was half in air, the stone was not secured.
This part of the monument, which one can see at their right before crossing the moving bridge on the Corinth-Loutraki road, is the smaller part of Diolkos found on the Peloponnese side of the Canal. The erosion reached this part of the monument around 1992; there is a report by an antiquities guard about this - BUT no action was undertaken. This part was left at the mercy of the erosion although rescue operations - at least temporary ones - would have been rather childish...
As the long sufferings of the excavated Diolkos come to light, various internet portals have presented the problem.
In one of these, there is also an image of the 2006 report by the General Secretary of the Ministry "informing" the Prime Minister (!!!) that the waves "have by now begun to erode the monument's substrate"...
