The results of the structural–geomorphic analysis of the Heraklion peninsula in southwestern Crimea are presented. The Western, Central, and Southeastern segments, which differ in the density and orientation of fracturing zones and faults, drainage system characteristics, and coastal zone structure, were recognized. It was demonstrated that the neotectonic movements in the upper structural unit are manifested most distinctly above the Late Jurassic–Early Cretaceous collisional suture that was fo
