The flag of Psara was designed by the Psariots[1] and bears symbols of Filiki Eteria.[5][6] It is made of white cloth bordered with red with a large red cross and the inscriptions of the name of the island "ΨΑ-ΡΑ" and the words Eleftheria i Thanatos (Liberty or Death) in capital red letters. The cross is standing on an upside down crescent, flanked on one side by a sword, on the other by a serpent killed by a bird.[4][6] The flag was carried during the War of Independence by Psariot ships[7]
