Administratively, the whole peninsula houses the Chonhar rural community of Henichesk Raion. Together with the Tup-Dzhankoi [uk] part of the Crimean peninsula which reaches towards it, the Chonhar Peninsula divides the Syvash lagoons into two parts: eastern and western.

Several bridges and embankments connect the Chonhar Peninsula with the Crimean Peninsula to the south. The Chonhar Peninsula has one of the three main road connections between Crimea and mainland Europe, the others being on the Perekop Isthmus to the west and the Arabat Spit to the east. The main Chonhar road bridge crosses the narrowest gap, the Chonhar Strait near the village of Chonhar. It runs more or less parallel to the old road bridge, which is nearby to the south-southwest. The NovooleksiivkaDzhankoi railway line runs over a bridge and embankment across the lagoon near the village of Syvash.

History edit

Chonhar Peninsula was occupied by Russian forces during the Russo-Ukrainian War.[3][4]
