Public Transport

Public transportation serves as the most affordable means of navigating Rhodes. The central hub for this network is conveniently situated in Rhodes Town. From here, buses depart on a regular schedule, ferrying passengers to major destinations across the island. These include the historic Lindos, quaint Gennadi, lively Afandou, vibrant Kallithea, picturesque Tsambika beach, the charming Anthony Quinn Bay in Ladiko, and the tranquil Seven Springs. Two local companies — RODA and KTEL — shoulder the responsibility for the island's bus services.

Best Time to Visit

As Rhodes is one of the most southern islands in Greece, it has a milder climate and a long season of summer, that lasts from the beginning of April until the end of November. However, all services and sights are open throughout the year, so there is still plenty to see and to do during winter from December until the end of March, and you do benefit from lower prices and less crowded places.
