The Provadiya Hook (English; Bulgarian Провадийска коса Prowadijska kossa ) is a spit consisting of moraine rubble and a total of 1.2 km long in the shape of a boomerang on the southwest coast of Greenwich Island in the archipelago of the South Shetland Islands . It extends as the southwestern extension of Oborishte Ridge over a length of 700 m and then bends in a northerly direction as a spit point over a length of 500 m. The headland separates the inner part of Yankee Harbor from Shopski Cove and McFarlane Strait .

British scientists mapped it in 1968. The Bulgarian Commission for Antarctic Geographical Names named it in 2006 after the town of Prowadija in northeastern Bulgaria .
