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.
Syros
The name of the island originally means something like "rocky" - and that aptly describes what awaits you on Syros. In addition to the rugged natural formations, the island is home to the administrative center of the Cyclades. Accordingly, it is busy here all year round. Here you will especially meet Greeks from the mainland; international tourists are rather less to be found here. The cultural side is not neglected here either, and churches, a theater and a library are among the most important places on the island. If you are looking for beautiful beaches, you will find them on the southern and western side.
The ferry port on the island of Syros offers connections to the other Greek islands of Andros, Donoussa, Tinos, Folegandros, Amorgos, Mykonos, Lesbos, Samos, Kimolos, Kalymnos, Kos, Thira, Thirasia, Paros, Ios, Ikaria, Serifos, Kythnos, Milos, Chios, Rhodes, Fournoi, Crete, Patmos, Oinousses, Schinoussa, Astypalea, Naxos, Sikinos, Koufonissi, Symi, Kea, Iraklia, Leros, Sifnos, Euboea, Limnos and Anafi as well as to the ports of Thessaloniki, Kavala, Piraeus and Lavrio on the Greek mainland.
