Astypalea to Donoussa Route Map
Astypalea to Donoussa takes about two and a half hours on the Blue Star Naxos, part of Blue Star Ferries' line linking the Dodecanese with the eastern Cyclades. It is a conventional ferry making a short leg on a much longer route, usually via Amorgos. A good crossing for sitting out on deck as the small islands come into view.
Donoussa is a small, remote island northeast of Naxos and near Amorgos, with very little tourism infrastructure. The port and main settlement, Stavros, is a small harbour village of whitewashed houses where most of the rooms and tavernas are. People come for peaceful beaches, walking tracks across the island and the general absence of crowds.
The route runs around four times a week, and the current timetable and fares are shown below. Fares start around thirteen euros. Connections to Donoussa are limited and seasonal, with Naxos and Amorgos the usual staging posts, so it pays to check return sailings before you commit to dates.
