Ovria (Greek: Οβριά, also: Οβρυά - Ovrya) is a town in Achaea, Greece.[2] It is a suburb of Patras, located 6 km south of Patras city centre. Since the 2011 local government reform it is part of the municipality Patras, of which it is a community.[3] Between 1997 and 2011, it was the seat of the former municipality of Messatida.[2] The Greek National Roads 9 (Patras - Pyrgos) and 33 (Patras - Tripoli) pass through the town. Ovria is in the transition zone from the densely populated coastal area to the hills in the southeast, including Omplos. Agriculture (olive groves, pastures) is still the dominant land use in the areas south and east of Ovria. Neighboring communities are Demenika to the northeast, Mintilogli to the west, Krini to the east, and Kallithea to the south.
