Description

Chania Flag

A white cross and an ancient coin: the flag of Chania

This flag is blue with a broad white cross reaching to the edges. At the crossing stands a large gold disc with a standing man holding a bow and a dog at his feet, and on the blue below, in gold capitals, the words ΔΗΜΟΣ ΧΑΝΙΩΝ, «Municipality of Chania».

The coin of Kydonia

Flags of the World describes the earlier flag of Chania as a Greek cross flag, white on blue, with an old coin in the centre and the name at the base in yellow letters. The coin was minted in the ancient town of Kydonia and shows the hero Kydon stringing his bow, with his dog.

An old town, a new logo

The same source notes that the municipality now uses a new flag with a man and a dog in white on a blue field (reported by hania.news on 29 December 2023). The flag shown here is the earlier design with the coin.

Chania

The municipality has 53,910 inhabitants and is the second largest town in Crete. It is built on the ruins of ancient Kydonia. Its Byzantine wall, built in the 12th century, surrounds the hill of Kasteli, and the Venetians began the fortress Revellino del Porto at the harbour in 1610.

Who chooses it

For anyone from Chania or western Crete, for those who live far away and carry their town with them, for the Municipality, its offices and civic ceremonies, for schools, associations and clubs, for sailors and holiday-makers who fell in love with the old harbour, for a restaurant, a shop or a business that wants to show where it belongs. We sew it to order, in the size and fabric you choose above, and you see the delivery date before you pay.
