The main beach here is already fantastic, but if you don't mind walking a little bit, there are a couple of very beautiful beaches not far from the main one. Beautiful location and setting. Donoussa has it all!!

We walked from Stavros/port to Kalotaritissa in about 90 minutes. Not very difficult, but make sure you have good walking shoes. Great views of the whole of Donoussa.

This is a beautiful beach, clean and not overcrowded. There is a simple taverna there and an old village. It's simple and maybe more authentic than most other places on the island.

This is a beautiful little beach in a protected bay, nice to swim in with clear shallow water.
There is a small cafe on the beach selling a range of snacks and drinks and some umbrellas together with sun lounges to rent for 3euro per day.
The only problem with this beach is the number of boats moored in the bay which make it a bit too crowded and of course you need to be wary of any are moving when you are swimming

It's isolated and during August very busy. The beach has pebbles with sand. I lived in the area, so I really liked it. It has another more secluded beach about 10min away(walking) called tripiti, nudist friendly, camping friendly.

Three beaches few houses and a tavern with delicious food and excellent hospitality from the family that owns it. You can reach it by boat or bus from the port of donousa and you can then choose one of the three beaches for a swim in clear blue water.

In Kalotaritissa Bay, so named after the nearby hamlet, are three not very big beaches. If one speaks of Kalotaritissa Beach one usually means the a bit larger middle one, which is also called 'Mesa Ammos' (middle sand) or 'Vlychos'. Due to the nearby settlement with a tavern free camping and nudism - just as at Stavros - are not allowed, as is written on a sign.

People, who don't feel like wearing textiles at a beach, can walk on a path for about 10 minutes to the Trypiti Beach in the same bay (for which is a separate entry at Tripadvisor). Not so clear is the situation at the smaller beach, close the the middle Messa Ammos, called 'Sapounochoma', thus 'Soap Earth' beach. All three beaches here offer no natural shade and consist of sand and small pebbles.

To get here, one can take hike No 1 from Stavros, which takes about 90 minutes. The first part, up to a saddle, is rather dull, but after that one has nice views of Kalotaritissa bay, more so if one takes the about 1 hour long detour up to Mount Papas, the islands highest peak.

When I walked around Donoussa island in September 1988 there were 4 families living in Kalotaritissa without electricity and nor road. I then wrote: 'One of the remotest places I have seen in Greece'. Now one can come by car or use the regular bus service in season, which takes 30 minutes from or to Stavros with stops near other beaches en route.

We hiked for 90 minutes along the marked trail and it took us along mountains and cliffs to this beautiful spot. Had lunch at the Tavern which makes mouth-watering lamb burgers
