Description

Rethymno Flag

Dark blue and ochre: the flag of Rethymno

This flag is a plain dark blue field. In the centre stands an emblem in ochre: two dolphins curved around the Greek letters ΡΙΘΥ.

The coin of the town

Flags of the World says the flag of Rethymno is blue with the municipal emblem in ochre in the centre, and that the emblem comes from one of the town's ancient coins, which shows two dolphins in a circle. Rethymno was built in antiquity, as ancient Rhithymna and Arsinoe, and minted its own coins.

Venetians and Ottomans

The Venetian conquerors of Crete put an intermediate commercial station at Rethymno between Heraklion and Chania, and the town began a period of growth. Today's old town, almost entirely built by the Venetians, is one of the best preserved old towns in Crete. The Ottomans captured the town in 1646.

The municipality

The municipality of Rethymno has 54,900 inhabitants (2011). It was formed in the 2011 local government reform by merging the former municipalities of Arkadi, Lappa, Nikiforos Fokas and Rethymno. During the Battle of Crete the Battle of Rethymno was fought between German paratroopers and Australian and Greek forces from 20 to 30 May 1941.

Who chooses it

For anyone from Rethymno or central-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 Venetian old town, 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.
