The Genoese fleet under Paganino Doria captured the Venetian fleet under Niccolò Pisani of 35 galleys and made 5,000 prisoners at the harbour of Sapienza or Porto Longo, between the fortresses of Modon (mod. Methoni) and Navarino or Zonklon (Pylos) in southern Greece.

Genoa and Venice signed a peace treaty on 1 June 1355.
