Rhodes Airport Transfers

Pre-book your private transfer from Rhodes Airport for a stress-free arrival. Get fixed prices for journeys to Rhodes Town, Faliraki, Lindos, and all resorts.

Once you've collected your bags at Rhodes Diagoras Airport (RHO), your next step is getting to your accommodation. The best choice depends less on a small difference in fare and more on your arrival time, luggage, and whether you're staying in Rhodes Town or a southern resort like Lindos.

Don't build your arrival around Uber or Bolt; an app ride is not a dependable option here. Your main options are the public bus, the official taxi rank just outside arrivals, or a pre-booked private transfer. Planning which one suits you can make for a much smoother start to your holiday.

Choosing Your Transfer: Bus, Taxi or Pre-booked Car

The public bus is the cheapest way to reach Rhodes Town and is a good option if you're arriving during the day with light luggage. However, its route is limited, and luggage space can be tight in peak season. For a direct, on-the-spot journey, head to the airport's official taxi rank. This works well for nearby resorts, provided the queue isn't too long after a cluster of flights have landed.

A pre-booked private transfer offers the most predictability. It's strongly recommended for late-night arrivals, families, or anyone with several suitcases. It’s also the most practical way to reach distant southern resorts like Lindos, Pefkos, and Kiotari, allowing you to avoid the taxi queue and the multiple drop-offs of a shared holiday shuttle.

Important Considerations Before You Travel

If your holiday package includes a shared transfer, be prepared for a longer journey. The coach may wait for passengers from different flights and will make stops at several hotels along the way. For those staying in Rhodes Old Town, remember that vehicle access is highly restricted. Even a private car may have to drop you a short walk from your hotel, so check the best drop-off point with your accommodation beforehand.

Frequently asked questions

Can I get an Uber or Bolt from Rhodes Airport?

Don't plan around them. Uber announced a service on Rhodes in 2023, but that announcement is not a reliable basis for an airport arrival or an important journey. If you want to try an app, check your actual journey and keep another option ready: the official taxi rank, the public bus or a pre-booked private transfer. See our guide Is there Uber in Rhodes?.

Is a pre-booked transfer much more expensive than a taxi?

Not always. Prices for a pre-booked car can be very competitive with the final taxi fare, especially for longer journeys. The main advantage is having an agreed price in advance and a guaranteed vehicle waiting for you.

How do I get to Lindos from the airport by bus?

Reaching Lindos by public bus is a long journey that typically requires changing buses in Rhodes Town. Considering the extra time and hassle of managing luggage during the connection, a direct taxi or pre-booked transfer is a much more convenient option for most travellers.
