MORE ABOUT DONOUSSA GREECE

Situated in the western Aegean sea, between Naxos and Amorgos, Donoussa has an unarguably distinctive kind of beauty!
Given that it belongs to the Small Cyclades island group, together with Schinoussa, Irakleia and Koufonisia, Donoussa island offers a small piece of heaven for your island vacation in Greece!

The center of all action is Chora (also known as Stavros), the island's capital town, where the main port is also located. It has a lively, yet relaxing atmosphere and it is where you’ll find most of the island’s taverns, cafes, restaurants, shops and other tourist facilities, as well as rooms & hotels for your stay.

Moving away from Chora, you’ll discover tiny traditional villages and a wild natural landscape worth exploring!

The standouts of Donoussa are, hands down, its beaches, that look nothing like other crowded Cycladic seashores! These are unorganized and unspoiled for the most part. Kedros beach is among the most popular ones.
The seashores of Donoussa are easy to reach. Many of them can be approached on foot or by sea bus from Chora.

The relaxing atmosphere of Donoussa will definitely seduce you!
