Flag of Kymi, two versions - Images by Olivier Touzeau, 6 June 2014
The ancient Euboean Kyme is mentioned as a harbor town related to the more prominent poleis of Chalkis and Eretria in antiquity. Together with these, it is sometimes named as the founding metropolis of the homonymous Kyme (Cumae) in Italy, an important early Euboean colony, which was probably named after it.
The flag of Kymi is vertically divided white-light blue. In the middle is placed the municipal emblem, beneath the year "1871", above the name of the municipality, written either "ΔΗΜΟΣ ΚΥΜΗΣ" (photo) or "ΔΗΜΟΣ ΚΥΜΑΙΩΝ" (photo).
The emblem (image), featuring an anchor between two bunches of grapes "hanging from the same vine", was adopted by Royal Decree of 25 January 1871.
