It has a diameter of 5 km (3 mi) with the highest point being 363 metres (1,191 ft) and with only 163 inhabitants. Donoussa has a small port at Stavros, its main settlement, having ferry routes to Naxos and Amorgos. Other villages include Mersini (on the southeastern coast) and Kalotaritissa (near its northern coastline).

Donoussa had downward its importance in the political activity of Greece in the 1850s for the news that the inhabitants knew the expulsion of Otto fourteen years later when King George I visited the island. Later, it was important as well in the history of the First World War due to anthraxation hidden in the mountains near cape Aspro for the English and French warships and was later detained after the war.
