Symbol associated with a Mediterranean island (7,5)

I believe the answer is:

maltese cross

(Other definitions for maltese cross that I've seen before include "symbolic of Crusades" , "Badge" , "Design made by four arrow-shaped arms with their points meeting at the centre" , "Symbol of the Knights Hospitallers" , "Sir John -, English conductor" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
