Away from the other islands, Donoussa, in the small Cyclades archipelago, plays the role of a loner.
\nAccording to mythology, this is the island where Dionysus hid Ariadne so that Theseus could not find her. Like a rock set in the sea, it is the perfect secret stopover to live a suspended moment far from the tumultuous Aegean effervescence of the summer.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Quiet and with a steep relief, it has four barely inhabited hamlets, beautiful marked hiking trails, a few delicious taverns, and beaches with the scent of the end of the world. In Donoussa, life is sweet, very sweet even. Here we take our time and enjoy. There are no “must-sees”, no “must-see”, except for the sea, which is bluer than ever and opens perpetually on the horizon.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

More rarely served than the other small Cyclades, boats stop here only when they go around Naxos from the north. This is how the island has managed to preserve itself and appears as a Cycladic mirage of authenticity and simplicity.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
