On Sunday, December 14, 2008, a one-day excursion to the tunnels of the Corinth-Patra section of ERGOSE and a technical visit to the Aigio tunnel took place. The Corinth-Patra tunnels are of great interest, due to the particular geological formations and tectonic regime governing the Gulf of Corinth.
