Cape Idokopas

Cape Idokopas (Russian: мысе Идокопас) is a promontory on the Black Sea coast of Russia near Gelendzhik, Krasnodar Krai. The headland is lined with cliffs but is mostly flat on its summit, which is heavily forested with pitsunda pine trees. It is bordered by a reef that makes offshore navigation hazardous.[1]

There are no permanent settlements on the cape, but it has become known as the location of the grandiose residence that has been dubbed 'Putin's Palace', allegedly owned by Russian president Vladimir Putin.
