Tips for the Piraeus–Donoussa Ferry
- On a rough crossing, the best strategy is to fix your gaze on the horizon, breathe slowly, and avoid reading or looking at screens.
- In the shoulder months of May, June, and September, you will often find seats and cabins available right up to departure day.
- High-speed catamarans are more susceptible to cancellation in meltemi conditions than conventional roll-on roll-off ferries – the slower option is often more reliable.
- Ticket prices on some routes include a mandatory port surcharge; on others it is separate – the checkout total will clarify this before you pay.
- 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.
