Cape Aya (Crimean Tatar: Ayya; Ukrainian: Мис Айя; Russian: Мыс Айя) is a rocky promontory jutting out into the Black Sea southeast of Balaklava.

[1] A storm off Cape Aya is the subject of one of Ivan Aivazovsky's paintings.

A Soviet guided missile system was located on Cape Aya.

Viktor Yanukovych, the former President of Ukraine, ordered the construction of a luxurious private residence on Cape Aya.

The "New Mezhyhyria", or popularly known as "Mezhyhirya 2"[2] closed locals off from the coast, and was still unfinished when the Revolution of Dignity ousted Yanukovych from his post.
