Consequently , after his victory at Missolonghi , the Ottoman commander - in - chief , Reşid Mehmed Pasha , turned against Athens . The siege began in August 1826 , and followed closely the experience of Missolonghi : the Ottomans set up a very close blockade and bombarded the hill , while the besieged harassed them with frequent night sorties and mining , utilizing the expertise of Konstantinos Chormivitis , who had already distinguished himself in Missolonghi . The Beleaguered Greeks were resupplied and reinforced by small detachments sent through the Ottoman lines by the main Greek army , under Georgios Karaiskakis , which had established itself around Eleusis , Piraeus and Phaleron to the south of Athens . The Greeks launched various attacks against the Ottoman army ' s rear and its supply lines , most notably the victory at the Battle of Arachova in November ; this strategy was altered in favour of direct attacks on the Ottoman army , resulting in the Battle of Kamatero in February . The command was transferred from Karaiskakis to the British general Richard Church in April . The Ottoman victory at Phaleron ( Analatos ) on 24 April 1827 ended any possibility for relief , and the Acropolis garrison surrendered a month later .
