The Fourth Battle of the Dardanelles in the Fifth Ottoman-Venetian War took place between 17 and 19 July 1657 outside the mouth of the Dardanelles Strait.[1] The Ottomans succeeded in breaking the Venetian blockade over the Strait.[1]
Venice's navy had been positioned at the south of the narrows during the engagement. A strong northerly wind had given the Turkish a favorable position.[1]
