Ferry from Aegiali (Amorgos) to Donousa

Aegiali to Donousa is a short crossing of around 45 minutes to an hour and a quarter, served by both Blue Star Ferries on the Blue Star Naxos and Small Cyclades Lines on the Express Scopelitis. The two islands are close neighbours in the eastern Cyclades, so this is a genuine local hop rather than a long haul, and the smaller Scopelitis gives the more characterful ride of the two.

Donousa is a small, remote island northeast of Naxos with very little tourism infrastructure. The port and main settlement, Stavros, is a whitewashed harbour village, and everything on the island is within walking or short-drive distance from it. People come for quiet beaches, walking routes and an escape from the busier Cyclades.

The route runs roughly daily in the summer season and becomes limited outside it. Current departures and fares are shown in the timetable below. Donousa sits on the Small Cyclades line, so onward connections run to Koufonisi, Schinoussa, Iraklia and Naxos.

Frequently Asked Questions

Tips for the Aegiali to Donousa ferry

• If you are travelling with a pram or pushchair, store it in the designated vehicle area or a corridor space – it will not fit in the overhead racks.
• If you are prone to seasickness and see a Force 5–6 forecast, take preventive medication the night before as well as on the morning of travel.
• Evening arrivals into a lit island harbour are particularly beautiful; consider timing a crossing to arrive at dusk if the schedule allows.
• 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.
• In Donousa, 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.
