Cape Deveboynu, Datça

Deveboynu Cape (Turkish Deveboynu Burnu; Greek Krio) is a promontory in southwest Turkey, on the Aegean Sea, at the extreme end of the Datça Peninsula, north of the island of Rhodes. The modern town of Tekir is located here.

It was probably the location of the ancient city of Cnidus (q.v.).
