Cape Apostolos Andreas

Cape Apostolos Andreas (Greek: Ακρωτήριο Αποστόλου Ανδρέα, "Cape Saint Andrew"; Turkish: Zafer Burnu, "Cape Victory") is the north-easternmost point (promontory) of the Mediterranean island of Cyprus (35°41.70′N 34°35.20′E / 35.69500°N 34.58667°E / 35.69500; 34.58667). 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 miles (109 km) to the east.[1]

Herodotus mentions it as "Keys of Cyprus", where the Phoenicians were sailing with their ships in a war between Darius I and the Ionians.[2]
