Donoussa to Schinoussa Route Map
Donoussa to Schinoussa takes a little under two hours on Small Cyclades Lines' Express Scopelitis, calling at other islands of the group on the way. It is the classic Small Cyclades boat, small and unhurried, and more a local service than a tourist one. In rough weather it can be an uncomfortable ride, so keep an eye on the forecast.
Schinoussa is one of the quietest islands in the Cyclades, with minimal development and a slow pace that is the whole reason to go. The harbour is at Mersini, with Chora, the main settlement, a short climb above it. Beaches are easy to reach on foot and the island is small enough to cross in an afternoon.
Sailings run around three times a week rather than daily. The current timetable and fares are shown below, with tickets starting near €7. Onward connections beyond the Small Cyclades generally go through Naxos.

Tips for the Donoussa to Schinoussa ferry
- A rough sea crossing in a large conventional ferry is inconvenient but very rarely dangerous; Greek ferry operators have strict safety protocols and experienced crews.
- 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.
- On high-frequency short routes, check the timetable for the last sailing of the day – it can be surprisingly early on some less-visited islands.
- Once you arrive in Schinoussa, one of the Small Cyclades, you'll find secluded beaches, charming villages, and an authentically unhurried pace of life well removed from the tourist trail. The island is a fine base for swimming in crystal-clear waters and exploring the local landscape on foot.
