[9] As a result, the Ottoman fleet of 80 galleys, 3 galleasses, and over 200 transports and lighter vessels arrived unmolested at Chania on 11 July, and found the Venetian squadrons dispersed and unable to offer effective resistance; the Ottomans entered Chania, while half their galleys took position at the San Todoro island.
[10] On the same night, Cappello ordered his entire fleet to sea, but an adverse westerly wind forced the Venetians to return to their anchorage at Souda Bay.
[10] The Ottomans were not idle, however: their troops moved over land from Chania to Souda, and established artillery positions that could fire on the Christian ships at anchor.
[11] The Christian fleet arrived before Chania on 13 August and anchored three miles off the city, with the galleys forced to wait until the sailing ships had caught up.
[12] Despite having agreed to cooperate with Cappello in intercepting Ottoman supply fleets, the disheartened allied squadrons left Kythira for their homes on 8 September.
[12] Cappello was joined by a squadron of French ships under François de Nuchèze, but they too returned home in late October.
