That is the lion of Venice(st. Marks lion) anon,it is the coat of arms and the flag of the Most Serene Republic of Venice™. Their rule much like in Crete also was very lax, they intermingled with the locals and brought great economic and cultural growth in both Crete and the Ionian Islands(and most importantly they where exposed to the renaissance movement something that most of continental Greece didnt as they where under Ottoman rule) . So even when both the French and then the English got contol of the Islands they still consedered themselves Grecovenetians (they even have their own grecoitalian dialect). Thus a Union Jack with the Lion of Venice .
