The Greek flag, known as the “Galanolefki” or “blue and white,” is a striking symbol of freedom and faith. Its nine alternating blue and white stripes represent the syllables of the Greek phrase “Ελευθερία ή Έλευθερία” (Freedom or Death), the motto of the Greek War of Independence.

The blue signifies the sea and sky, while the white represents purity. The cross in the upper left corner highlights the importance of Greek Orthodoxy. Its simplicity and elegance make it iconic.
