·

The largest Greek flag has been unveiled in the Peloponnese ahead of Greece’s National Day (OXI Day) on October 28.

OXI Day marks the anniversary of the moment Greece said ‘NO’ to an Italian Fascist invasion and gave the Axis Powers their first defeat in 1940.

Young students from a local school in Kastori, Laconia wanted to commemorate this historic day by placing the large Greek flag on the Taygetus Mountain Range.
