The Greek flag, known as the “blue and white” or “Galanolefki,” is a striking symbol of freedom and faith. Its nine horizontal stripes of blue and white represent the syllables of the Greek phrase “Ελευθερία ή Έλευθερία” (Freedom or Death), the motto of the Greek War of Independence.
The blue symbolizes the sea and sky, while the white represents the waves and purity. The cross in the upper left corner signifies the importance of Greek Orthodoxy. Its simplicity and harmony make it one of the most beautiful flags in the world.
