The use of the two national flags of Greece remained
unchanged from 1832 to 1970; the Second Hellenic Republic kept them in use without modification.
The cross and stripes flag was used outside the
country, including at the coast, whereas the plain
cross flag was used inside.
The flag used at sea and on the coast had nine horizontal stripes,
in turn blue and white, and a white cross on a blue square
field in canton. This flag is today the Greek
national flag.
