The reason is that the trip starts so early and, for us, it was a hard time to be awake in uncomfortable chairs for so many hours. However, when we do this again, we’ll certainly buy AirSeats, which are bus-like seats, meaning much more comfort and some decent sleep. It was the cheapest one and we really didn’t think this would be a big deal to travel in economy, which means sitting in ordinary chairs around the ferry. We bought it directly on Blue Star Ferries website, which is not a super easy website but everything worked out fine. Athens is worth a visit not only in summer and also as a solo female traveler.īlue Star Ferries is the company offering a stop in Donousa from Athens, but attention: the route varies at least 4 times in the year and it only stops there from 3 to 4 times a week.Īs we went in August, we got the ferry at 6:45 in Piraeus. If you are wondering if it’s worth visiting Athens, please do visit it. Our journey started in the Greek Capital, a couple of days before.

Donousa is less than 300 km from Athens, which means around 7 hours in the only ferry route available from the Capital. Being so small, Donousa obviously doesn’t have an airport and the only way to get there is navigating.
