Cape Sarych

Sarych (Ukr. Sarich, Crimean Tat. Sarıç, Sarych) is a cape on the southern coast of the Crimea, one of the southernmost points of the Crimea peninsula (another Cape of Nikolay)[2]. It goes into the Black Sea.

The most common opinion is that the cape was named Sarych (“golden-woven”) by the color of the nearby hills. With an average annual rainfall of less than 400 mm per year, Cape Sarych, along with Cape Ai-Todor, is one of the driest and warmest places on the southern coast of Crimea. 5 km from Cape Sarych is the village of Foros, the distance to the center of Sevastopol is 30 km, to Yalta - about 40. The distance from Cape Sarych to Cape Kerempe on the Anatolian coast of Turkey is 142 nautical miles (≈263 km). At the beginning of the First World War at Cape Sarych, a battle took place between the Russian Black Sea squadron and the German-Turkish cruisers Goeben and Breslau. At the beginning of the Great Patriotic War, south of Cape Sarych, the steamer Lenin sank, carrying refugees from Odessa.
