Description

English: Flag of Cretan State (1898-1913, an autonomous state of the Ottoman Empire) - the design depicted the blue and white cross design of Greece and a red canton (upper left) with a white five-pointed star symbolizing the Ottoman suzerainty. This digital reproduction has its cross design taken from the national flag of Greece (land variant in use 1822–1969 and 1974–78), its fat star design and red colour from the late Ottoman flag (1844-1923), using dimensions (format 2:3) and is using lighter shade of blue, as used historically - see Historical Greek flags (coconis.gr), Principality of Crete (FOTW), Flag of independent Crete 1898-1913 (sfakia-crete.com) and Photo of Cretan flag outside tavern (kaczorki.pl).
