Getting from Donoussa to Agistri
If you are heading to Agistri from Donoussa you are making your way from one of the Small Cyclades to a small pine-covered island in the Saronic Gulf, on the opposite side of Greece. It is almost entirely covered in forest with good beaches and clear water close to Athens.
Take the ferry
There is no direct ferry from Donoussa to Agistri. Getting there means taking the ferry from Donoussa to Piraeus, which runs around 3 to 6 times a week and takes around 7 to 8 hours, and then boarding the Saronic ferry from Piraeus to Agistri, which takes around 55 minutes to 1 hour 35 minutes with up to 15 daily departures in summer. It is a straightforward two-step connection with Piraeus serving as the natural hub between the two islands.
Getting there by air
Agistri has no airport. The nearest airport is Athens. Donoussa has no airport. The nearest airport is Naxos. Taking the ferry from Donoussa to Piraeus and then boarding the Piraeus to Agistri ferry gives a total journey time of around 9 to 10 hours. In Greece, airlines do not operate direct inter island flights.
Your best option
Take the ferry from Donoussa to Piraeus and board the Saronic ferry to Agistri. With up to 15 daily departures in summer you never need to book the Piraeus to Agistri connection in advance. Check the Donoussa to Piraeus departure days before planning as the service runs a limited number of times per week. Plan your Piraeus arrival around the Agistri departures to avoid a long wait at the port.
