Rhodes International Airport is one of the largest airports in Greece. The airport is also known as Diagoras Airport, named after a Greek poet and sophist. It is the fourth busiest airport in the country, served by over 50 carriers. Most of these carriers operate seasonally, with the exception of two airlines, Aegean Airlines and Olympic Air, both offering year-round flights to locations throughout Greece and other European cities.

Getting Around

The airport is located 13 kilometers southwest of the city centre, and getting there is easy by various modes of transport including bus, taxis and car rentals. Utilise the developed public transport system, and board the local bus downtown. These buses link the airport to Rhodes city, as well as other destinations in the area. Apart from bus services, hail a taxi from the airport. If you require a bigger vehicle, opt for mini-buses or private chauffeurs driving limousines. These services ensure passengers travel in comfort, and get to their destinations safely and quickly.

Rhodes is a large island, making it difficult to cover all attractions on foot. Instead, take the local bus service to get around. The bus network is comprehensive, taking passengers to key landmarks in Rhodes city. To explore the area further down the coast, board an excursion boat that travels from Mandraki to Faliraki and Lindos daily. Queue for a taxi at cab stations scattered throughout Rhodes City, for a quick way to reach your destinations. Hire a driver from the Rhodes Private Tours to canvass all attractions. These knowledgeable drivers can tell you more about the historic background of these notable landmarks in Rhodes. Otherwise, rent a car or motorbike and drive around the city. Beware of poor traffic conditions, including speedy drivers and damaged roads.
