Limberakis Gerakaris

Liverios Gerakaris, more commonly known by the hypocoristic Limberakis, c. 1644 1710 was a Maniot pirate who later became Bey of Mani.

Limberakis Gerakaris was born in Mani in around 1644. He served as a rower in a Venetian galley before becoming a pirate. After several years, he was captured by the Ottomans and imprisoned. After a failed attempt to capture Mani, the Ottoman Grand Vizier, Kprl Fazl Ahmed Pasha, offered Gerakaris his freedom and to make him Bey of Mani in return for allowing the Turks to garrison some castles in Mani.
