Terms of surrender After nearly a year of being under siege, the Ottoman garrison at the
Acropolis fortress surrendered on 9 June 1822. The terms of surrender were as follows: • The Ottoman troops and civilians would be given free passage to
Asia Minor on foreign ships not aligned with Greece • Allow the Turks who wanted to stay in
Athens to do so without significant trouble or harassment
Instances of violence Greek irregulars stationed in Athens killed nearly half of the Ottomans who surrendered following the siege. Various other acts of violence occurred usually involving the killing of Albanian civilians. == Footnotes ==
