In response to a new Venetian campaign of conquest in Dalmatia, Ottoman Sultan Mehmed I sent his fleet of over 100 ships under Cali Bey from Gallipoli. However, in a brilliant surprise attack, Venetian Admiral Pietro Loredan destroyed the Turkish fleet at Gallipoli. Emperor Manuel II then intervened to arrange a short-lived peace.
