Cape Jason, located in Turkey's Ordu Province and named for Jason of the Agronauts, "harkens back to ancient times when a temple of Jason stood at the edge of the sea, protecting the sailors of Black Sea's treacherous waters."

A Greek Orthodox church, pictured below, later replaced the temple with a similar mission. It now sits, in total solitude, in an overgrown cornfield next to a lighthouse overlooking the roaring waves of the Pontus. Ancient ports and fish breeding pools can also be found amid the region's ruins.
