History
The 1821 flag of Spetses was raised when the island joined the Greek War of Independence. Its blue field represents the surrounding sea and the island’s maritime heritage, the cross symbolizes the Orthodox Christian faith, and the anchor commemorates Spetses’ naval contribution to the struggle. The design was typically flown in a 2:3 proportion on land and on the island’s warships.
