'''The naval Battle of Elli''' was fought in the [[First Balkan War]] between [[Greece]] and Ottoman Turkey.

The Greek Navy led by Rear Admiral [[Pavlos Kountouriotis]] on board the flagship [[Averoff]], defeated the Ottoman navy, just outside the Aegean entrance to the Dardanelles ([[Hellespont]]), between the dates of [[December 13]] and [[December 26]], [[1912]].

This victory was quite significant in that the Turkish navy retreated beyond the Straights and left the [[Aegean Sea]] to the Greeks who were now free to liberate the islands of [[Lesbos prefecture|Lesbos]], [[Chios]] and [[Samos]]
