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.
The ferry port on the island of Donoussa offers connections to the other Greek islands of Koufonissi, Paros, Amorgos, Iraklia, Naxos, Syros, Schinoussa and Astypalea, as well as to the ferry port of Piraeus on the Greek mainland. A total of 10 routes are offered here several times a day by the shipping companies Blue Star Ferries, Small Cyclades Lines and SeaJets.
Iraklia
Iraklia belongs to the Small Cyclades and although Iraklia is the largest island, it is the most sparsely populated, with two quiet settlements and a mostly mountainous area. The only road on the island starts in Agios Georgios, passes through Livadi beach (the most beautiful beach on Iraklia) continues to Panagia and ends in Turkopigado bay with a pebbly beach.
