Cape Kerempe

Cape Kerempe, known in antiquity as Carambis, juts northward from the Paphlagonian coast into the Black Sea. Its rocky headland was a prominent landmark for sailors following the southern shore. Across the water lies Cape Sarych in Crimea; the passage between the two headlands offered one of the shorter crossings of the sea. Coastal mountains rise behind Kerempe, leaving a narrow strip of land beside the water.
