Route · RHO → Rhodes Town

Rhodes Airport to Rhodes Town

The city and medieval Old Town sit about 14 km from Diagoras — typically 20–25 minutes by road. This is the shortest high-volume airport hop on the island, so taxis remain competitive; private transfers still help for meet-and-greet and night arrivals.

Taxi

Rank outside arrivals. Daytime city runs are the use case where metered taxis feel proportional. Keep small notes/card readiness for the ride.

Private transfer

Worth it for flight tracking, name-board pickup, and hotels inside the Old Town maze where drop-off instructions help. Compare partners on GoFleet.

Car hire

Only if you need a car the same day. Old Town parking is constrained — many visitors transfer in and rent later.
