Tips for the Amorgos–Donoussa Ferry
- Passports or national identity cards are required for all passengers on domestic Greek ferry routes – carry yours in your day bag, not buried in your hold luggage.
- Carry a smaller day bag separately from your main luggage: this holds your passport, wallet, phone, charger, sunscreen, and anything else you need during the crossing.
- Beaufort Force 6 is the usual threshold at which high-speed catamaran services are cancelled; conventional ferries generally operate up to Force 7 or 8.
- In Donoussa, one of the Small Cyclades between Naxos and Amorgos, the pace of life is unhurried and the beaches are genuinely secluded. The island is ideal for swimming and hiking between coves in an authentic, crowd-free setting.
