Donoussa
If you have plenty of time, you should check out the small but scenic island east of Naxos. Only 150 inhabitants, living mainly in the port town of Stavros, try to attract tourism to the very barren and rocky mountain island. A recommended activity is hiking. This is only possible with good shoes and physical fitness. In the bathing bays you will meet only a few people. If you are looking for peace and solitude and are content with little, you will find a small paradise on Donussa. Wonderful bathing bays, especially in Kedros near the village, and beautiful accommodations offer excellent conditions. Cozy inns in rustic style complete the offer.
