Messaria is a small traditional village situated four km southeast of Fira, the capital of
Santorini.
The houses are built in the traditional style of the Cycladic islands. It is one of the few villages of the island where people make a living by agriculture, mostly wine production.
The roads are very busy in this village as it’s on the main thoroughfare for getting around much of the island.
The main square is also something of a disappointment.
