How each one works
Bus: Public bus to Rhodes town
Follow airport signs to the public bus stop and confirm that the service goes to Rhodes town. It arrives at the west side bus station. Check current ticket purchase instructions with the operator before boarding, and plan the walk or onward ride to your accommodation.
Taxi: Airport taxi
Use the signed airport taxi rank and give the driver your accommodation's recommended drop-off point. For an address inside the walls, agree on an accessible gate. Confirm the fare and accepted payment method before setting off.
Private transfer: Prebooked airport transfer
Arrange collection through a transfer provider or your accommodation and supply your flight details. Keep the meeting instructions available offline. Confirm the final drop-off point, any child seat requirements and how payment is handled when making the booking.
Arriving late or leaving early
Do not assume a public bus will meet a late flight or suit an early departure. Check the current operator timetable before traveling. If the times do not work, arrange a taxi or transfer and confirm collection details with your accommodation.
Before you land
- Ask your accommodation for the nearest suitable vehicle access point, especially if your room is inside the Old Town walls.
- Allow extra time for summer traffic, waiting at the airport and the final walk over Old Town paving.
- For Ixia or Ialysos, check a direct transfer to your accommodation before taking a bus all the way into Rhodes town.
