Donoussa to Koufonissi Route Map
Donoussa to Koufonissi takes a bit over an hour on Small Cyclades Lines' Express Scopelitis, the small ferry that links this cluster of islands. It is a short and usually pleasant crossing, though the boat is modest and exposed to whatever the meltemi is doing. Deck space is the best place to sit on a fine day.
Koufonissi's harbour is effectively part of the main village, so there is nothing to arrange on arrival beyond walking to where you are staying. The island is small and flat, and has become popular for its clear shallow water and beaches such as Pori and Fanos. Ano Koufonissi is the inhabited island; Kato Koufonissi opposite is empty apart from day boats and a taverna.
The service runs roughly three times a week, so plan around it rather than assume daily departures. The current timetable and fares are shown below, with fares starting around €7. Naxos, an easy onward hop from Koufonissi, is the main connecting point for the rest of the Cyclades.

Tips for the Donoussa to Koufonissi ferry
- Short hops are a great way to visit a 'satellite' island – for example, the small island of Antiparos from Paros – without committing to an overnight stay.
- Some operators allow seat upgrades at the port ticket desk if higher classes have not sold out – worth asking if you arrive early.
- On deck class for a short crossing, there is no need to find an inside seat – standing or sitting on the open deck for 45 minutes is perfectly comfortable.
- Routes that are seasonal only often have limited or no service in winter; neighbouring islands may require a land or air connection during the closed period.
- When travelling with a motorcycle, book and pay for the vehicle space at the same time as your passenger ticket – vehicle spaces can sell out separately.
