1. Ottoman conquest of the Venetians possessions in Greece

Was the Ottoman invasion of Venetian-held Peloponnese.

  • January 1716: Poros, along with Methana, Troezen, and Epidaurus, was part of the Venetian Colony from 1484 to 1715. In 1715, the territory was taken over by the Ottoman Empire. This marked the end of Venetian control in the region.
  • January 1716: Tinos conquered by Ottoman Empire.
  • July 1715: The Ottoman Fleet, numbering 80 warships under Canum Hoca, captured the last Venetian possessions in the Aegean, the islands of Tinos and Aigina.
  • June 1715: The Ottoman army crossed the Isthmus of Corinth and entered the Morea. The citadel of Acrocorinth, which controlled the passage to the peninsula, surrendered after a brief siege.
  • July 1715: After only nine days of siege, the Ottomans exploded a mine under the bastions of Palamidi and successfully stormed the fort.
  • September 1715: The Ottomans then advanced to the southwest, where the forts of Navarino and Koroni were abandoned by the Venetians.
  • September 1715: Gathered their remaining forces at Methoni (Modon). However, being denied effective support from the sea by Delfin's reluctance to endanger his fleet by engaging the Ottoman navy, the fort capitulated.
  • January 1716: Venice conquered Kythira Island (Cerigo) and Antikythera Island (Cerigotto).
