Rhodes airport transfers

Arrive in Rhodes ready to relax in the sun after pre-booking your airport transfer.

You can saunter off your flight, walk past the queues waiting for public transport and step into your pre-booked vehicle that will be waiting to whisk you to your hotel. No dramas. No stress.

It’s around a 25-minute journey from Rhodes Airport (RHO), also known as Diagoras airport, to the centre of the city of Rhodes via the Ialisou-Katavias road. The pretty village of Lindos is roughly a 55-minute drive away, while it’s a 20-minute drive to the lively resort of Faliraki on the east coast.

Transfer options available include cost-effective shuttle services, minibuses, private vehicles and even exclusive limousines. Families will love the convenience of meet-and-greet services that will deliver them straight to their accommodation while, if you’re on a romantic break, you may appreciate the ease of having a driver waiting for you in arrivals with a vehicle just outside.

Public transport options available from Rhodes Airport (RHO) include buses and taxis. While the bus is a good money-saving option, weigh up whether it’s worth spending slightly more after a tiring flight to be dropped off at your hotel’s door. If you’re on a budget, take a look at shared transfers, such as shuttle services.

Taxis are available outside the airport but you may be faced with extra charges if you have a large amount of luggage. To prevent this, plus having to queue on arrival and potentially haggle, pre-book a private vehicle, shopping around for the option that suits you.

If you’re in a group, consider a minibus or even a coach, where the more people you travel with, the cheaper the price per head is likely to be. You’ll still enjoy the luxury of being dropped at your door but won’t have to split up in separate taxis or cram on to a public bus.

To find the best deal for you, use a comparison service such as TravelSupermarket’s airport transfer tool. You can choose an option in your own time, looking out for cheap deals, and will know that the price you’ve paid is set in stone with no bartering required.
