quent vehicles and foot traffic to a clutch of homes, rental rooms and a taverna across the
bay.
Kendros
, 1.25km to the southeast of Agios Stavros along a surfaced road or stepped
track, is a sandy and secluded beach with a seasonal taverna.
Livadi
, a 1km hike further
east, sees even fewer visitors. Both Kendros and Livadi are popular with naturists.
Bulldozed, unsurfaced roads have marred Donousa in places, but there are still paths
and tracks that lead into the hills to timeless little hamlets such as
Mersini
.
Sleeping & Eating
You should book ahead for stays in July and August, and even early September.
The hub of Agios Stavros village life is
Kafeneio To Kyma
, located by the quay,
where things liven up late into the night in summer.
