Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Donoussa?
The best area to stay in Donoussa is Stavros, the island's main port and largest village.

Stavros is the heart of Donoussa, where you'll find the majority of the island's amenities. It's a compact village with white-washed houses, a small harbour, and a few tavernas and shops. The main beach of Stavros is just a short walk from the port, offering clear waters for swimming. It's also the central point for catching the local bus to other parts of the island or the small boat to more secluded beaches.

Couples looking for a relaxing and convenient base will find Stavros ideal. You'll be close to all the dining options and services, and it's easy to explore the rest of the island from here. Enjoy evenings by the harbour with a meal, or take a gentle stroll along the waterfront.

For those who prefer a quieter setting but still want access to amenities, Kalotaritissa, located on the northern side of the island, is a lovely option. It's a small, peaceful hamlet with a beautiful bay and a couple of tavernas known for their fresh seafood.
When is the best time to go to Donoussa?
Donoussa is a seasonal island, so the best time to visit is during the shoulder months of June and September.

These months offer warm, pleasant weather, ideal for swimming and exploring, without the intense heat and larger crowds of peak season. You'll find most businesses, like tavernas and shops, are fully open but the island retains a more relaxed pace. This is superb for couples seeking a peaceful getaway and solo travellers looking for a tranquil escape.

For those who enjoy a lively option, July and August are also excellent choices. During these months, Donoussa buzzes with activity, and all services are operating at full capacity. While it's busier, the island maintains its charm, and you'll find plenty of opportunities for socialising and enjoying the summer festivities.
