Peninsula vs. Sevastopol — What's the Difference?

A peninsula (Latin: paeninsula from paene 'almost' and insula 'island') is a landform surrounded by water on most of its border while being connected to a mainland from which it extends. The surrounding water is usually understood to be continuous, though not necessarily named as a single body of water.

Sevastopol (Ukrainian/Russian: Севасто́поль, romanized: Sevastópolʹ; Crimean Tatar: Акъяр, romanized: Aqyar; see below) is the largest city in Crimea and a major port on the Black Sea. Due to its strategic location and the navigability of the city's harbors, Sevastopol has been an important port and naval base throughout its history.
