Overview: Michael Scott starts his journey at the Corinth Canal, an amazing feat of engineering that connects the Gulf of Corinth with the Saronic Gulf in the Aegean Sea. From here, he travels to Ancient Corinth and the fortress atop Acrocorinth overlooking the ancient city ruins. No site is more stunning than the proud walls of this Byzantine and Venetian fortress sitting astride the towering hulk of this Corinthian acropolis. From Corinth, he heads to the Peloponnese, named after the mythical character Pelops.
