Onougnathos (promontory)

natural · 30 BC – 2100 AD

This ancient cape of the Peloponnese is now known as the island of Elaphonisas, separated from the mainland reportedly by a fourth-century earthquake. The island's southwestern terminus -- the modern Akra Ag. Maria -- would correspond to the tip of the ancient promontory.
