Rhodes International Airport "Diagoras" (RHO)

Getting Around

How to get to and from Rhodes International Airport "Diagoras" — taxis, public transport, shuttles and car rental.

Transport Options at RHO

Rhodes International Airport "Diagoras" is connected to Rhodes and the wider Greece transport network by multiple ground transport options.

Bus & Shuttle

KTEL Rodos buses run between the airport and Rhodes Town at regular intervals through the day, with timetables posted at the terminal and available online; this is the standard budget option for reaching the old town or the ferry port.

Taxi

A taxi rank sits in front of the terminal; the roughly 14 km run into Rhodes Town takes about 20–25 minutes, with fares generally posted or metered.

Rideshare

Uber does not operate on Rhodes (it's limited to a handful of mainland Greek cities); Beat, Greece's other major ride-hailing app, has wider coverage of the country but availability on Rhodes specifically can be patchy outside peak season — the taxi rank remains the most reliable option.

Car Rental

Well served given the island's tourism — Avis, Budget, Europcar, Hertz, and numerous local operators all have desks at or near the terminal.

Insider tip

If you're staying along one of the resort strips (Ixia, Ialysos, Faliraki) rather than in Rhodes Town itself, a pre-booked transfer or the rental-car desk is usually more direct than the bus, which is built around the Rhodes Town route.

Transport routes, fares and operators change frequently. Verify current options on the official Rhodes International Airport "Diagoras" website before travel.
