Donoussa

I was half expecting accommodation on Donoussa to be primitive, but after our "luxury" find on Iraklia I also half suspected that standards could be good - and they are. More luxurious than Iraklia in fact. A number of room owners met the boats, and we accepted the room offer made by one Greek lady. The block of three rooms was very modern, and situated on the far side of the bay up a very steep path, the steep part was short but especially when laden with a rucksack it seemed almost vertical.


The rooms were very well furnished (and even had wicker lamp shades and lace curtains, and modern pine furniture), and as well as a bathroom each had a small kitchen area with sink, fridge and hot plate. The water supply was brought to the cellar by a green hosepipe, and then pumped round the buildings. I don't know where the pipe came from and it may sound Heath Robinsonish, but there was no problem with the supply whilst we were there. There was also an open air shower (not needed!) in the garden.


So my fears of primitive accommodation on a small, Greek island were again unfounded. Outside there was a spacious terrace with sea views.
