The siege of Chania in 1660 was an attempt by the Christian forces to recapture the city from the Ottoman hold.

In 1660, the Venetian general, Francesco Morosini, began his naval campaign by attacking Negroponte.

Morosini then headed towards Kythira to meet the Allied forces in late April.

The next day, they were joined by a French fleet of 17 ships under Chevalier Paul consisting of 4,000 men.
