Yum Burnu

Yum Burnu (Turkish 'Cape of Good Hope'), the ancient Ancyræan Cape or Ancyræan Promontory and the modern Greek Cape Psomion, is the cape at the northeast end of the Bosphorus, where it enters the Black Sea.

It is a bold headland descending almost perpendicularly into the water.[1]

Just below it is a reef which is often identified as the Asian side of the mythical Symplegades.

gollark: Well, you might want to put a link to the page "Bees" in the middle of a sentence saying something like "the best kind of bee is an apiaristic bee". But `the best kind of [[bees|bee]] is an apiaristic bee` looks slightly bad. So if you give the "Bees" page the name "Bee" too, it looks nicer.
gollark: (it should be simple enough using the existing fuzzy search infrastructure)
gollark: I intend to add tab-completion later.
gollark: You could simply remember it, instead.
gollark: No, that would be silly.
