Fought during the Russo-Turkish War, 1768–1774, this battle took place between 27 and 31 May 1770 at the entrance to the Argolic Gulf in the Ottoman Empire, when a Russian fleet under John Elphinstone engaged a larger Ottoman fleet. Although no ships were lost on either side, Russian casualties were heavy and they had to withdraw. Thus, the battle ended with an Ottoman victory.
