Kasos is a Greek island municipality in the Dodecanese. It is the southernmost island in the Aegean Sea, and is part of the regional unit Karpathos-Kasos.

A flag from the Municipality of the Heroic Island of Kasos can be seen at https://kasos-heroicisland.gr. It is divided vertically yellow and black and features a two-headed eagle in counterchanged colors holding a cross and an anchor in its talons. The name is below, also counterchanged.

I found this flag in a Greek flagmaker's site listed as historical: https://kokkonis-flags.gr/product/simaies/istorikes/simaia-kasou/ and that it was first raised during the local uprising in 1824 against ottoman rule/occupation.

And lastly, one with a very incomplete view of the flag, still revealing enough details to let it be recognized: https://radiolasithi.gr (image: https://radiolasithi.gr)

The flag is obviously widely used, regardless of its actual status.
