Description
Show off your national pride with a high-quality, weather-resistant flag of Greece!
Our Greek flags are manufactured in the United States using nylon, a lightweight fabric that flies effortlessly even in gentle breezes. Nylon’s lightness also means it can dry quickly after becoming wet, helping prevent mildew growth. The iconic cross and stripes design is digitally printed with UV-resistant inks for bold, vibrant colors that resist sun damage and fading.
These flags have a robust canvas heading and brass grommets for simple attachment to any of our outdoor flagpoles. We offer Greek flags in sizes 12” x 18”, 2’ x 3’, 3’ x 5’, 4’ x 6’, 5’ x 8’, and 6’ x 10’. Our bestselling 3’ by 5’ flag is an excellent match for our 6’ house-mounted pole.

Greece Flag Meaning & History
The Greek flag has a long and complicated past, as aspects of the current flag draw from different flags throughout Greek history. The ‘Greek Cross’ in the upper left corner has featured on flags for centuries, representing the legacy of Eastern Orthodox Christianity within the country. The colors blue and white are most likely derived from the coat of arms of the Cretan Greek Kallergis, an influential aristocratic family.
The flag we recognize today was originally the naval ensign for Greece, adopted on March 15, 1822. The land flag was simply a white cross on a dark blue background. The land flag was discontinued on June 30, 1828, and the naval ensign became the national symbol.
