What ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ท means

Greece's flag has nine blue and white stripes and a white cross in a blue corner. Greeks everywhere send it for their country and heritage.

Island-hopping travelers post ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ท with ๐Ÿ›๏ธ, ๐ŸŒŠ and ๐Ÿซ’. Greeks use it for Independence Day on 25 March, Easter and football.

The blue and white match the whitewashed houses and blue domes of the islands, so the flag often appears beside those photos.
