The Racecourse of Achilles (Greek dromos Achilleios) is a narrow strip of land north-west of Crimea and south of the mouth of the Dnieper in Ukraine, running nearly due west and cast.[1][2][3] It is now divided into two parts called Kosa Tendra and Kosa Djarilgatch. According to ancient legends Achilles pursued Iphigenia to this peninsula and there practised for his races.
