Messaria sits at the middle of the island, where the roads to Kamari, Pyrgos, the airport and Fira cross, and it has grown into one of the busiest hotel areas outside the coast and the caldera. Almost every address here takes a car directly to the door, and the driver needs only the hotel or house name to find it.
