Finding your way to Donousa ferry port
The Donousa Ferry Terminal is located at the main Port of Donousa in the village of Stavros, right by the waterfront. It’s essentially in the island’s small center, so most accommodation, tavernas, and shops are just a short walk away. Donousa has no airport; arrivals are by sea only.
You can easily reach the Ferry Terminal on foot from most places in Stavros. For stays farther out, check with your hotel for a lift or local taxi-style transfer, as organized transport is limited and there is no formal public bus network.
On Paros, the Ferry Terminal is at the Port of Parikia, next to the town center, bus station, and taxi stands, making onward travel around the island straightforward.
We aim to keep this information current, but transport options and timings can change. If something seems inaccurate, please let our support team know.
