Rhodes Airport Transfer: €25 in Town, €80 to Lindos — Real 2026 Prices

What Kind of Rhodes Transfer Do You Need?

Rhodes transfers generally fall into three categories: airport to your hotel or resort, airport or town to the cruise port, or resort to resort across the island. Rhodes is bigger than most first-time visitors expect — a transfer might be a 15-minute hop into Rhodes Town or a genuine hour-long drive down the east coast to Lindos.

Airport Transfers

Rhodes International Airport (Diagoras) sits about 14 km from Rhodes Town — a single terminal, with official taxis waiting at the main public exit.

Expect to pay €25–29 for a taxi into Rhodes Town officially, though travelers frequently report paying €30–40 during July and August, when demand outpaces the available taxi supply. Taxis are meant to run on the meter for this route, but in practice many drivers offer a fixed price instead — worth confirming which applies before you get in. Surcharges are itemized precisely: a standard surcharge, an airport-specific surcharge, a per-bag fee over 10 kg, and double fare between midnight and 5am.

Getting to the Resorts

Rhodes' resorts spread widely across the island, and pricing scales with real distance rather than a single flat number.

Cruise Port Transfers

Rhodes' cruise port sits within Rhodes Town itself — a taxi rank operates right outside with pricing similar to airport rates for equivalent distances. The main practical difference from an airport pickup is timing your transfer around your ship's schedule rather than a flight.

Bus Network — Two Separate Operators

Rhodes splits its bus network between two companies — RODA serves the northern routes including Rhodes Town, KTEL serves the southern resorts. Sources genuinely disagree on whether a direct bus reaches Faliraki from the airport: some describe an hourly direct service, others say you first reach Rhodes Town's Averof bus station and transfer onward, a combined trip of about an hour. Confirm the current route locally rather than assuming either version.

Vehicle Types & Group Sizes

• Sedan — 1–3 passengers, 2 standard suitcases
• Minivan — 4–7 passengers, ideal for families or groups sharing luggage
• Minibus — 8+ passengers, for larger groups or excess luggage

Peak Season — Worth Planning Around

July and August bring real, widely reported demand pressure on the island — published rates are the floor, not always the ceiling. Booking a private transfer in advance removes the uncertainty entirely, since the price is fixed before you land rather than subject to on-the-day demand.
