Ottoman invasion of Mani (1807)
The 1807 Ottoman Invasion of Mani was one of a series of invasions by the Ottomans to subdue the Maniots. Mani was the only region of Greece that the Ottomans had not occupied due to the rough terrain and the rebellious spirit of the Maniots. The Maniots caused damage to the Ottomans by allying with the Venetians whenever there was a war between Venice and the Ottomans; they also were pirates.
When Antony Grigorakis gained the beydom of Mani, his renowned cousin Zanet Grigorakis was raiding Ottoman territories in Laconia after having fled from Cranae in 1803. Antony's reluctance to deal with his cousin caused the Ottomans to invaded Mani and besiege Antony in his island fort of Cranae. The invasion force was larger than the previous one and it caused much damage to the surrounding land.
==Prelude==
The Ottomans had tried to take over Mani in 1770. In this attempt the Ottomans laid siege to the Grigorakis tower in Skoutari which was garrisoned by fifteen men and was eventually destroyed after three days. The Ottoman army then advanced to the plain of 'Vromopigada' where they were caught by surprise by the Maniots who they outnumbered and were routed. But the Maniot leader Éxarchos who was Zanet's nephew and Antony's father was lured to Tripoli and hung. His mother then caused the men of Skoutari under Zanet to sack the Ottoman castle of Passavas by trickery.
Zanet, who became bey of Mani in 1784, was caught conspiring with the French under Napoleon against the Ottomans in 1798 and was deposed and outlawed by the Ottomans. But when he received a shipment of French weapons in 1803, the Capitán-Pasha invaded Mani and laid siege to Zanet in Cranae. After a while, Zanet slipped away from the siege during the night and retreated to inland Mani.
