Kazantyp

Kazantyp (Ukrainian: Казанти́п, romanized: translit-Kazantyp or Каза́н-Тип, Kazan-Typ; Russian: Казанти́п, romanized: Kazantip, IPA: [kəzɐnʲˈtʲip] or Каза́н-Тип Kazan-Tip [kɐˈzantʲɪp]; Crimean Tatar: Qazan Tip) is a headland (or a cape) located in the northeastern part of the Crimean peninsula on the shore of the Azov Sea.

[citation needed] It extends far into the sea from the coastline with its length being about 3–4 km.

In 1998 it was designated as Kazantypskyi State Nature Reserve of Ukraine.

On the eastern half of the cape are located ancient ruins of a settlement dating back to the 3rd and 2nd centuries BC.

From 1995 to 1999, the international electronic music festival, KaZantip, named for the headland, was held nearby.
