About the battle
The Fourth Battle of the Dardanelles in the Fifth Ottoman-Venetian War took place between 17 and 19 July 1657 outside the mouth of the Dardanelles Strait. The Ottomans succeeded in breaking the Venetian blockade over the Strait.
Venice's navy had been positioned at the south of the narrows during the engagement. A strong northerly wind had given the Turkish a favorable position.
