Rhodes Airport taxi: Distance, arrivals, prices
A Rhodes Airport taxi to Rhodes Town costs around €27 and takes approximately 25 minutes. With Welcome Pickups, transfers start from €36, with your fare paid before you travel and an English-speaking driver waiting inside Arrivals when you land. Summer charter arrivals often mean longer waits at the taxi rank—pre-booking means your driver is already waiting when you land.
Taxis operate 24/7 at Rhodes International Airport “Diagoras” (RHO), and the official Rhodes Airport taxi rank outside Arrivals is located directly in front of the terminal building. Vehicles range from standard sedans for up to four passengers to larger minivan options with seating for up to eight.
Official taxis are easy to spot. Most are dark blue with a white roof and have an illuminated yellow “TAXI” sign on top. You’ll also notice they use official Greek commercial license plates and are often Mercedes-Benz vehicles.
While taxi drivers in Rhodes do have meters installed in their vehicles, they don’t always use them to calculate Rhodes Airport taxi prices. Instead, fixed fares are often provided for many destinations across the island, meaning you’ll typically pay the same rate as everyone else.
Rhodes is a bigger island than many visitors expect. If you’re heading to places like Lindos, Pefki, or Kiotari, you’ve still got a decent journey ahead of you after landing. That’s one reason many travelers choose to arrange their Rhodes Airport taxi transfer in advance. Knowing who is picking you up, what you’ll pay, and where you’re going can make arrival day feel a little smoother, especially after a flight.

Rhodes Airport is fairly small by holiday-destination standards, with just one passenger terminal, so you’re usually through baggage claim and on your way fairly quickly. That’s good news during the busy summer months, when several holiday flights can arrive within a short space of time.
Unlike regular taxis, private transfer vehicles don’t wait directly outside the terminal entrance. Rhodes Airport uses designated pickup and short-stay parking areas, so after meeting your driver in Arrivals, you’ll take a short walk together to the vehicle.

Popular Rhodes Airport transfer routes with Welcome Pickups
You can book a transfer from Rhodes Airport to destinations across the island, including Lindos, Faliraki, Ixia, Afantou, Kolymbia, and Pefki. Prices start from €36, depending on your destination and vehicle type.
Rhodes Town is around 14 km from the airport, with transfers usually taking 20–25 minutes. If you’re staying in the Old Town, don’t be surprised if you’re dropped just outside the walls, as many of the narrow cobbled streets aren’t accessible by car. Transfer prices start from €36.
Faliraki sits approximately 17 km from the airport and is usually reached in around 20 minutes. During July and August, traffic can build up along the coastal road in the evenings as people head out for dinner and nightlife, particularly around the resort center. Prices start at €36 for up to 4 passengers.
Lindos is located around 50 km south of the airport, with transfers taking approximately 55 minutes. The journey is one of the longest on the island, but it also happens to be one of the most scenic. If you’re staying in the village itself, be prepared for a short walk at the end, as many of Lindos’ famous whitewashed lanes are pedestrian-only. You can expect to pay €81 for a taxi from Rhodes Airport to Lindos.
Pefki lies just beyond Lindos and is approximately 55 km from the airport. Most journeys take around 60 minutes. Many travelers choose Pefki for its quieter atmosphere and beaches while still being only a short drive from Lindos when they want restaurants, bars, or sightseeing. Prices start from €84.
Kiotari is one of the longest airport transfer routes on Rhodes, located around 60 km from the airport. Most journeys take 65–70 minutes, so it’s worth factoring that into your arrival plans, especially if you’re landing in the evening. Transfer prices start from €90.
Everything you need to know before your Rhodes Airport transfer
- Most package-holiday flights land on Saturdays and Sundays during summer, so roads around the airport and major resort areas are often busier than usual. If you're arriving on a weekend, allow a little extra time for your journey.
- Areas like Faliraki, Kolymbia, and Pefki are spread out, and many hotels have similar names. Having your full hotel name or address ready can help avoid confusion.
- Roads around the port and Mandraki Harbour tend to get busier around ferry arrivals and departures, particularly during the summer months. If you're staying nearby, leave yourself a little extra time.
- Many Rhodes taxi routes follow established fixed prices, particularly on longer journeys across the island. It's worth confirming the fare before setting off, especially for trips to Lindos, Pefki, or Kiotari.
- Taxis can be harder to find late at night in southern resorts such as Lindos, Pefki, and Kiotari, particularly during peak season. If you have an early flight home, consider arranging your return transfer in advance.
