Cape Apostolos Andreas



Cape Apostolos Andreas (Ακρωτήριο Αποστόλου Ανδρέα, "Cape Saint Andrew"; Zafer Burnu, "Cape Victory") is the north-easternmost point (promontory) of the Mediterranean island of Cyprus (35.695°N, 34.58667°W). It lies at the tip of the finger-like Karpass Peninsula.

The Apostolos Andreas Monastery is located 5 km southwest of the promontory itself.

The city of Latakia in Syria is located about 68 mi to the east.

Herodotus mentions it as "Keys of Cyprus", where the Phoenicians were sailing with their ships in a war between Darius I and the Ionians.
