Donoussa Ferry Port

Donoussa port facilities

Due to the small size of the port, there are relatively few facilities. However, the village offers a few restaurants and shops.

Getting to Donoussa

The limited roads in Donoussa are rough and very basic, and not usually driven on with cars. In fact, motorcycles are seen as a much safer option on these roads, and people are advised to take motorbikes with them if they so wish, due to the lack of a car or motorcycle hire facility on the island. Due to the size of the island, there is no public transport service such as buses, trains or trams.

About Donoussa

The whole of the island has one of the smallest populations in the Cyclades, with only 130 inhabitants. The port of Stavros is very small yet incredibly pretty, and the small, secluded beaches of the village are second-to-none. Although there are no large towns on the island, there are still many things that entice you to the island including the fokospilia, a cave that is known to be a sanctuary for local wildlife such as seals.

In Stavros itself, there are a couple of small, traditional tavernas that serve up many Greek delicacies as well as freshly caught seafood, and the Church of Panagitsa situated at the top of the mountain in Stavros village, which is a highlight for photographers who wish to see an incredible Cycladean sunset.
