I have visited Stavros many times in the past 20 years. I usually tie alongside the side of the ferry quay and the swell here is not as bad as it is along the longer quay. I have a cat so we don't roll as much as a monohull, but I've seen monos tie here and it's not too uncomfortable even in a meltemi. --[[User:Daphnoula|Daphnoula]] 15:21, 17 September 2014 (BST)}}

Satellite view of Donousa

Donousa (Δονούσα) or Dhenoussa has an area of 13.75 km2, a 480 m peak, and altogether 110 inhabitants living in 4 villages: Stavros, Panagia, Mersini, and Mearia. It has a grade school and a middle school with 6 students!

During the summer in Stavros there are 3 restaurants, a rather sophisticated bakery, and at least 2 grocery stores, other than that there are no facilities.

The beach at Stavros is also very attractive but, unlike in Dendro, nudism and camping are discouraged.

Harbour icon Stavros [[Donousa#Stavros|Stavros]] (Σταυρός) 37°05.9′N, 25°47.7′E

Stavros is the harbor of Donousa. It has a small quay where one can go stern-to, however, the harbor is not well protected and receives a good amount of swell.

I have visited Stavros many times in the past 20 years. I usually tie alongside the side of the ferry quay and the swell here is not as bad as it is along the longer quay. I have a cat so we don't roll as much as a monohull, but I've seen monos tie here and it's not too uncomfortable even in a meltemi. --Daphnoula 15:21, 17 September 2014 (BST)

Dendro

Anchorage icon Dendro [[Donousa#Dendro|Dendro]] 37°05.7′N, 25°48.2′E

This cove is called Dendro (Δέντρο) or Kedhros (Κέδρος) or Kentro (Κέντρο) (all these names are in use). It is very safe even with gale force meltemi.

Drop anchor near the wreck at 4.5 m, if there is a strong wind use a 2nd anchor. The bottom is rocky and the holding is not uniform. Find a sandy spot to drop the anchors, and always check them with mask and snorkel.

When there is strong wind, there can be appreciable surf which makes landing with the dinghy a rather wet affair. In this case it is best to land in the tiny inlet on the east of the beach.

The sand at the Dendro cove is fine and clean. On the beach in the summer there is a nudist camp but the nudists do not bother anyone, nor do they dirty the beach or make any noise.

Unfortunately now there is a small taverna which spoils this previously pristine beach.

From here the village of Stavros is about a 20 minute walk.
