Donoussa is a small island that belongs to the complex of the Small Eastern Cyclades (along with Iraklia, Schinoussa, and Koufonissi). Located north of Amorgos and east of Naxos, the history of the island started recently as, in the Medieval times, this was a shelter of pirates. The geography of Donoussa features some excellent spots. A place ideal for trekking and calm vacations, Donoussa is an almost flat relief and gorgeous sandy coasts.

The wind blows strong all the year round but there are safe coves to swim, mostly on the southern side. In fact, the southern side of Donoussa is the most developed in tourism.
