Flag of Hydra Greece - Color Changing Coffee Mug

The Flag of Hydra is the official symbol representing the Greek island of Hydra. This bicolor flag consists of nine equal horizontal stripes alternating between two colors, white and black. It has a distinctive blue square panel, called the canton or the 'field of nine stars', located in the upper left corner. The flag is often associated with maritime history due to Hydra's significant role as a naval power during the Greek War of Independence in the 19th century. The specific design of the flag remains a subject of debate, with theories suggesting it may have origins linked to the Venetian influence on the island or symbolizing nine villages that once composed Hydra. Today, the Flag of Hydra is widely recognized and serves as an emblem of pride for the island's residents and those connected to its rich history.
