Kerch Bay (Russian: Керченская бухта, Ukrainian: Керченська бухта, Crimean Tatar; Crimean Turkish: Keriç körfezi, Керич корьфези) is a bay of the Sea of Azov and Strait of Kerch in the eastern Crimea region.
It is located at the eastern Kerch Peninsula, near the municipality of Kerch.[1]
In 2017, a head of an ancient Greek God was discovered during underwater construction operations at the Kerch Bay. It was crafted sometime between the 5th and 3rd centuries BC.[2] [3]
