Route guide
Piraeus to Donoussa ferry
Piraeus–Donoussa reaches one of the least developed islands of the Small Cyclades east of Naxos.
Blue Star Ferries currently lists up to three routes each week and a journey from about 7 hours 30
minutes. Departures are shown from Piraeus Gates E6 and E7, with the live booking result confirming
which gate, vessel and intermediate calls apply to the selected sailing.
The route normally uses a conventional passenger-and-vehicle ferry, so it works for both foot
passengers and travellers taking a car. At 7 hours 30 minutes or more, the crossing is long enough
to compare reserved seating and cabin options on the assigned ship. Individual departures can call
at several islands, which is why the final itinerary and arrival time shown in the booking should
take priority over the published minimum journey time.
Arrival is at Stavros, the island’s main settlement and a convenient starting point for beaches and
walking routes. Current Blue Star information connects Donoussa with Amorgos, Iraklia, Naxos, Paros
and Donoussa. The relatively low weekly frequency rewards careful planning, especially if you are
combining several Small Cyclades islands or relying on a same-day onward connection after a
multi-stop service.
If you are connecting to accommodation, another ferry or ground transport, leave a sensible margin
after the scheduled arrival. Weather, port traffic and boarding operations can occasionally affect
the final timing.
Even on Piraeus to Donoussa, fares and vessel assignments can vary by departure, so compare the live
options rather than relying only on a typical journey time.
