Wind prevents the largest Greek flag from being raised in Santorini

The strong winds that blew on the morning of March 25 in the Aegean, did not allow the largest Greek flag to be raised in Santorini.

With the help of a large crane, the flag was supposed to fly at a height of 50 meters, while French Rafale fighters flew over the island.

The flag weights 160kg and measures 1,500 square meters.

Instead, organisers with the help of citizens, spread it on the ground to pay tribute to the fighter jets that passed through the area.
