Story synopsis

On August 3rd, 1824 , the Turkish fleet was bombing the guarded locations of the Samians who were answering Back.
Hoshref Passa, ordered troops to land on Karlovasi (In the North ) cosidering that the North should be unprotected. He was wrong as lieutenant captain Aggelinas repeled them causing many losses. Same thing happened to the location of Kotsika . Captain Lahanas repeled the Turkish troops as well .
The next day , 4th of August Topal Passa ordered 2 continous landings to Karlovasi ,consisting from 28 and 40 boats full of troops that failed losing half of the men.
On the same day Admiral Sahtouris with a squadron of Hellenic fleet came to help the Samians.
Hoshref Passa , ordered general retreat behind the island of Agios Nikolas.
Hellenic fleet reached Mesokampos (near Mykali) and 18 Turkish ships went after him. In the meantime, 10 more Hellenic ships came from Tinos island for help.

Naval battle to Eptastadion location, August 5th 1824

On this day Hoshref Passa ordered general attack ! The Turkish Armada was shoting with all her cannons . Tsapelis reached a turkish frigate and attempted to burn it but the opposite wind made him fail.
Kanaris was succesful though and burned it. Her captain tried to save the ship by leading it to the shore but the gunpowder storage blew up making an enormous explotion killing everyone on it !
Kanaris lost 2 men too. A Tunisian frigate was blown up too from Vatikiotis and another one from Tripolis by Matrozos.

General retreat to Kos was ordered for the Turkish to meet up with the Egyptian fleet .

**On August 6th all had ended with a glorious victory for Hellenes , writting one more page in the book of their Triumph history ! **

Many more attempts for capturing Samos island were made by the Turkish like the Naval battle of "Gerontas" but all failed.

Every year , a representation of this victorious naval battle is taking place to Pythagorio's port the night of August 5th.

Thanks for reading . Have a nice day !
