An Ottoman naval force under the command of Kapudan Pasha Küçük Hüseyin Pasha destroyed the Greek fleet under the command of Lambros Katsonis, which was carrying out piracy activities in favor of Russia in the Aegean Sea and Mediterranean off the Porto Kagio in Mani Peninsula.

[1] The Russo-Turkish War (1787–1792) ended with the Treaty of Jassy, signed on 10 January 1792; Greek sailor Lambros Katsonis, who carried out piracy activities against the Ottomans in the Mediterranean and Aegean Sea on behalf of Russia throughout the war, continued his activities during peacetime from the base he established in Porto Kagio on the Mani Peninsula, in the south of the Morea Eyalet.

The Ottoman navy under the command of Küçük Hüseyin Pasha, on the other hand, left the Dardanelles on 10 June 1792 and advanced towards Lesbos.

In the ensuing battle on 17 June, the Ottoman navy decisively defeated the Greek fleet, capturing 11 ships and 65 soldiers.

[4] Following this victory, the Ottoman Navy under the command of Küçük Hüseyin Pasha entered Istanbul on 25 September 1792, with 18 ships and hundreds of Greek pirates that it had captured.
