Description

Rhodes Flag

Blue and white, with the head of Helios: the flag of Rhodes

This flag is blue. In the centre, drawn in a single white line, is the head of a young man with flowing hair, and above it the words ΔΗΜΟΣ ΡΟΔΟΥ, «Municipality of Rhodes», in white capitals curving over the head.

Helios on the coins

Flags of the World says the flag of Rhodes is blue with the municipal emblem, which shows the head of the sun god Apollo, or Helios, as depicted on ancient coins. The famous tetradrachms of Rhodes bear the head of Helios, identified with Apollo, the main numismatic type on Rhodian coins, and the rose on the reverse is a pun on the name of the city: rhodon is Greek for rose.

An emblem of 2018

The same source says the emblem was approved by Decision no. 1,351 of 25 January 2018 of the Domestic Council of the Ministry of Interior, at the request of the Municipal Council. The Apollo emblem represents the 3,000-year history of Rhodes and its aspiration to a bright future.

The island

The municipality covers the whole island and had 115,490 inhabitants in 2011. English Wikipedia says Rhodes is the largest of the Dodecanese islands and their historical capital, famous for the Colossus of Rhodes, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. The medieval Old Town of the city of Rhodes is a World Heritage Site.

Who chooses it

For anyone from Rhodes or the Dodecanese, for those who live far away and carry their island 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 island, for a restaurant, a hotel 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.
