Kap Matapan bildet die südlichste Spitze des griechischen Festlands und trennt den Lakonischen Golf im Osten vom Messenischen Golf im Westen. Als markante Landzunge der Mani war dieses Kap schon in der Antike ein wichtiger Orientierungspunkt für die Schifffahrt. In vielen Überlieferungen erscheint die Region unter dem Namen Kap Tenaro, oft verbunden mit Mythen über den Zugang zur Unterwelt.

Just north of the #headland are two large rocks which are called #TheSisters according to my #OSMap. A safe place for #gulls to congregate.

The #headland juts out into the #sea and its rocks are very angular and the #cliff forms an almost sheer drop of several tens of metres.

From the next #headland, you can get a really good view of St Michael’s Mount. I think the light conditions here were better too in the early afternoon.

The sun sets behind Foel y Mwnt promontory fort in #Ceredigion. The top of the hill is marked by two lines of defensive #earthworks. The area within the #headland defined by these terraces is devoid of any sign of habitations or indeed of any level ground.
