Schinoussa to Donoussa Route Map
Schinoussa to Donoussa takes a little under two hours on the Express Scopelitis, the small Small Cyclades Lines boat that links the group. The route runs north-east past Koufonissi and out towards the edge of the island cluster, so it usually involves at least one intermediate call. It is a modest vessel on an open stretch of water, and the deck is the best place to be.
Donoussa is one of the least visited islands in the Cyclades, with minimal tourism infrastructure and a deliberately slow pace. The port and main settlement, Stavros, is a small whitewashed harbour village where most of the island's rooms and tavernas are found. Travellers come for quiet beaches, walking tracks and the sense of being some way off the usual circuit.
The connection runs a few times a week rather than daily, and thins considerably outside the summer months. Current departure times and fares are shown in the timetable below. Donoussa also has links to Naxos and Amorgos, so it is usually easiest to think of it as part of a Small Cyclades loop rather than a there-and-back trip.

Tips for the Schinoussa to Donoussa ferry
- Pack a reusable water bottle in an accessible pocket – hydration is important in summer and onboard water is expensive.
- Sunscreen and insect repellent are both considerably cheaper at a supermarket before you board than at island resort shops; stock up on the mainland.
- The period immediately after the 15th August peak sees a rapid fall in demand; last-minute seats become available again from around the 20th.
- 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.
