Beaches

As far as I know there are only good beaches on Donoússa. When you arrive to the island, in daytime that is, you discover the first beach in the village by the port, Stavrós. It’s a sandy beach about 100 meters wide. It may be your choice an early morning if you are in the mood for a morning swim.

Next beach rather close to Stavrós is called Kéndros that you reach by a 15-20 minutes walk. Pass the Stavrós beach to the right and walk up towards the lonely house and continue to the right. It’s a nice beach with fine sand with a length of approximately 150 metes. Here you find non-organized camping and most people practice nudism. Lately a bar is established a few metres away from the beach.

The beach most far away to the east is Livádi, which is situated below the settlement of Mersiní. It’s certainly a beach you ought to visit. It’s a nice sandy beach about 150 meters wide and you can find some shadow under a couple of trees. It’s a beautiful beach, where you can let the sun caress all of your body.

To the North you find maybe two beaches close to the Kalotarítisa village. I visited the beach closest to the village. It is a sandy beach, perhaps not so nice as the beaches at the south coast. But you can find some shadow to the right beneath some rocks. There was one local visitor a short time on the beach during my stay; otherwise I was completely alone. I suppose you can be nude of season, if you exercise great caution towards the locals.

There is a beach some hundred meters away form the beach closest to Kalotarítisa. It looked nice at a distance, but I didn’t see any place to find protection from the sun. I guess it’s a good choice if you like to have a beach on your own.
