Flag of the Principality of Crete - Image by Santiago Dotor, 16 June 1998

The union of Crete to Greece was proclaimed at a flag-raising ceremony in Hania, which is still ceremonially repeated every Sunday.The Naval Museum is located in the fort where the flag-raising occurred.
The Museum shows the flag of the Principality of Crete as divided by a white cross. Three of the quarters are blue whereas the canton is red with a white star inside it. In a couple of pictures of the flag (for instance, one painted on a commemorative porcelain plate along with a portrait of the statesman Venizelos), the star is yellow and/or has one point (pointing towards the upper left corner) longer than the other points. This flag, as well as the Greek plain cross flag, appears on some locally-woven textiles, displayed in the museum, that depict Cretan soldiers and civilians parading with flags.

The book Hellenic flags [kok97] shows this flag for autonomous Crete, 1898-1908. Crete was occupied by the big powers, led by Britain, a little more than 100 years ago and after some discussion became an autonomous province of the Ottoman Empire with Prince George of Greece as governor. It united with Greece in 1908. I don't know if the flag has any legal status now (I doubt it), but I did see it several times being used for Greek patriotic purposes when I was in Greece last year.

This old flag of Crete is shown in an image from a German cigarette card in The World of Flags [cra90]. The author notes that "[Crete and the Ionian Islands] are now integrated into Greece," implying that their flags are no longer in use.

The naval ensign of the Principality of Crete (1898-1913) has blue and white stripes, like the Greek flag, but a white star on a red field in canton.
