The 'Battle of Kresna Gorge' was fought between the Greeks and the Bulgarians during the Second Balkan War. The battle went for ten days and took place between the 29th July and the 7th August 1913. The Bulgarians effectively stopped the Greek progress and managed to encircle the Greek army and maintained their blokade for four days. The disaster for the Greek army was prevented by the initiation of the peace talks and the signing of the Bucharest Peace Treaty.
