Sightseeing
This is an island where you just relax, or perhaps take a walk through the nature. The steep coastline, the hills and the blue water are the landscape you will enjoy. The shipwreck at Kendros is not exactly a sight, but it is the closest thing to one on this calm little island.
Beaches
In Donoussa, you may find the nice beach, which also serves as a thoroughfare for vehicles and foot traffic. Behind the beach there are lush vegetable gardens and vineyards. Find your own little beach and enjoy. There are many nice beaches for such a small island, and even the harbour, Stavros, has a good enough beach.
Kendros, over the hill to the west, is a sandy and secluded beach. Livadi, the next beach along, sees even fewer visitors. Other beautiful beaches can be found at Tripiti (Vlychos), Sapounochroma, Mesa Ammos, Fikio and Vathi Limenari.
