Porto Kagio
Porto Kagio is a village in Mani, Greece. History writes that the year 1570, the Ottomans tried to build a castle there to block the sea route for the Venetians to their colonies in Crete and Cyprus. As soon as the Maniots heard of this, they besieged the castle. They also sent messengers to the Venetians for naval help. The Venetians arrived and the Turks surrendered. In 1670 the Ottomans returned and they built a new castle there. They were driven out of it by 1770 during the Orlov Revolt.
