Donousa is a small island in the small Cyclades archipelago, east of Naxos. It is located 120 miles from Piraeus and has about 160 inhabitants. A popular destination for the Greeks, especially the Athenians during the summer, Donoussa shines with its whiteness and cleanliness.
A little walk on the heights will allow you to enjoy the view over the bay and even on Naxos. In Donoussa, there are some very beautiful sandy beaches with very clear waters. The beach of Livadi is the most beautiful on the island. The main village, the small harbor of Stavros, displays some fifty small white houses on a hill facing the sea.
The village has kept a very quiet and authentic way of life, even though in season there are more and more people stopping there. On a newly constructed road, you can reach on foot in 10 minutes (there is no car rental on the island) the big beach of Kendros. This one is very beautiful thanks to its clear waters and its situation between two cliffs of clear rock.
Do not miss:
The beach of livadi, the boat trip to the cave and towards Kalotaritissa, the complete tour of the island on foot (plan the day and take away a lot of water).
