GeographyThe headland that is Cape Zonchio, is just north of the island of Sphacteria (Sfaktiria in modern Greek), to the northwest of Navarino Bay (Ormos Navarinou in modern Greek). On the eastern side of Coryphasium is the Lagoon of Osman Aga (Limín Dhivári).[2] To the south is Sikia Channel, 220 feet wide and only 18 inches deep,[2] separating Cape Zonchio from Sphacteria. To the west is the Ionian Sea, and to the north it is connected to the mainland by a sand spit on the eastern side of Voidokoilia Bay.[2] HistoryThe Venetians had a fortress (castle) on the headland built upon an ancient Greek fortress, it is known as Palaiokastron.[2] The naval Battle of Zonchio took place off of Cape Zonchio from 12 to 25 August 1499.[3] Notes1. ^Lemprière, John and Anton, Charles (1827) "Coryphasium" A Classical Dictionary: containing a copious account of all the proper names mentioned in ancient authors; with the value of coins, weights and measures, used among the Greeks and Romans; and a chronological table (6th American edition) E.
