⭐ How Rhodes Taxi Pricing Works (2025 Update)
Rhodes taxis follow a simple system: fixed fares for the most common routes and meter fares for short or uncommon trips. At the airport and at many resort taxi stations, you’ll see large boards displaying the official prices — a system VisitGreece explains helps keep everything transparent and stress-free.
According to Lonely Planet, long-distance routes naturally cost more due to the size of the island, especially when travelling to Lindos, Pefkos, Kiotari or Gennadi.
To make things easy, here’s the full breakdown of Rhodes Taxi Prices — Full Guide with Prices 2025 for the entire island. If you’re still unsure about your base, my Where to Stay in Rhodes: Guide to All Best Areas & Resorts breaks down every location simply.

⭐ Taxi vs Bus vs Transfer – When to Use Each
To save you money and stress, here’s the local breakdown of when each transport makes sense.
⭐ Use a taxi when:
✔ you have luggage
✔ travelling with kids
✔ arriving late at night
✔ going to Lindos, Kiotari or Gennadi
✔ you want zero walking or waiting
⭐ Use buses when:
✔ you have simple day-trip plans
✔ you travel light
✔ you prefer the cheapest option
⭐ Use private transfers when:
✔ going to Lindos, Kiotari or Gennadi
✔ you want a guaranteed pickup
✔ you travel as a family or group
✔ your hotel is far south
✔ you’re arriving at 02:00–05:00
✔ you want comfort after a long flight
This mix is exactly how most locals plan their trips too — even we don’t drive every day.
⭐ Airport Taxi Tips (For First-Time Visitors)
Rhodes Airport (RHO) is small, fast and easy — but here’s what helps:
⭐ Expect a queue in July–August
The line moves, but allow:
✔ 10–20 minutes daytime
✔ 20–40 minutes late at night
⭐ Seats are limited
Airport taxis officially take 1–4 passengers.
Bigger groups need:
✔ 2 taxis
or
✔ a private minibus transfer
⭐ Taxi drivers know all hotels
Just show the hotel name; they’ve been there 1000 times.
⭐ Cash is faster
While some accept card, cash avoids delays.
Local tip:
If you arrive with tired kids or lots of luggage, take a private transfer — the airport taxi area becomes crowded at peak hours.
⭐ Shared Taxis on Rhodes – Do They Exist?
Many travellers ask me this.
Short answer:
No — shared taxis are not a thing on Rhodes. It is against the Law.
Greece has:
✔ regular taxis
✔ private transfers
✔ buses
But not “shared shuttles” like some other countries.
If anyone offers you one on the street — avoid it.
⭐ How Much to Tip Taxi Drivers in Rhodes?
Tipping is optional, but appreciated.
Here’s the local standard:
✔ Round up small fares (e.g., €8 → €10)
✔ Add €2–€3 for long routes
✔ For airport runs: €3–€5 is common
Drivers do not expect American-style tipping — simple gestures are enough.
⭐ Taxi Apps & Websites (Useful to Add to Your Notes)
Rhodes does not use Uber, Bolt or Lyft.
Instead, we use local apps and call centers.
Here’s what’s reliable:
⭐ RodosTaxi App
✔ order a taxi
✔ track driver
✔ free to use
✔ works across main areas
⭐ Taxi websites:
Local tip:
During peak hours (19:30–22:30) call 10–15 minutes before you need a ride.
⭐ Night Taxi Tips – Staying Safe & Smart
Night-time taxi use on Rhodes is generally safe, but here are my local guidelines:
⭐ Avoid walking long distances at night in remote areas
Some zones (especially south) have limited lighting.
⭐ Always take official taxis
Not random offers on the street.
⭐ Clarify the price
Especially for late-night Lindos or south-coast routes.
⭐ Sit in the back seat if alone
Simple travel etiquette everywhere in Greece.
Night taxis are reliable — just stay aware like you would anywhere else.
⭐ What If You Lose Something in a Taxi?
Don’t panic — it happens all the time.
Do this:
Contact the taxi stand where you boarded
Give clear info:
✔ route
✔ time
✔ itemAsk your hotel reception — they often help
Try the RodosTaxi app if booked through it
Drivers on Rhodes regularly turn in phones, wallets and bags — don’t lose hope.
⭐ When Taxis Are Hard to Find (Local Insight)
In some cases, taxis may be limited:
✔ Stormy days (safety)
✔ Huge cruise ship arrivals
✔ Greek holidays
✔ Heatwave midday hours
✔ Between 22:00–23:30 (hotel drop-off rush)
Local fix:
Book your taxi 10–15 minutes before you need it, especially in Lindos or Faliraki.
⭐ Distances Between Popular Areas (Useful for Estimating Taxi Fares)
Knowing the actual distances between Rhodes resorts helps you understand why certain taxi rides cost more. Here is the full local breakdown:
Rhodes Airport → Rhodes Town — 15 km
Rhodes Airport → Ixia — 8.5 km
Rhodes Airport → Ialyssos — 6.7 km
Rhodes Airport → Faliraki — 16 km
Rhodes Airport → Kallithea Springs — 9 km
Rhodes Airport → Kolymbia — 25 km
Rhodes Airport → Lindos — 48–50 km
Rhodes Airport → Pefkos — 52 km
Rhodes Airport → Kiotari — 60 km
Rhodes Airport → Gennadi — 65–67 km
Rhodes Airport → Prasonisi — 92 km (southern tip)

Rhodes Town ↔ Kiotari — 60–62 km
Lindos ↔ Pefkos — 4 km
Lindos ↔ Kiotari — 13 km
Pefkos ↔ Gennadi — 12 km
Local insight:
The east coast road is smoother and faster, while the west coast road has more curves and traffic, especially between the airport and Rhodes Town. This can slightly affect taxi time — but not the price, since long-distances are fixed.
⭐ Travel Time Expectations (2025–2026 Updated)
Taxi drivers on Rhodes know the island extremely well, but summer traffic, cruise-ship arrivals or festival days can change arrival times.
Here are realistic travel times:
Airport → Rhodes Town — 25–35 minutes
Airport → Faliraki — 20–25 minutes
Airport → Lindos — 45–60 minutes
Airport → Kiotari — 60–75 minutes
Rhodes Town → Lindos — 45–55 minutes
Rhodes Town → Kolymbia — 25–35 minutes
Rhodes Town → Gennadi — 70–85 minutes
Local tip:
From mid-July to late August, expect +10 to +15 minutes on most afternoon routes due to beach traffic.
⭐ Taxi Zones Explained (How Pricing Really Works)
Rhodes taxis use travel zones rather than per-kilometer pricing for most popular routes.
This keeps prices stable even during high season.
⭐ Zone A (North Coast & Airport Area)
Includes: Rhodes Town, Old Town, Ixia, Ialyssos, Kremasti, Paradisi.
Taxi fares here are the lowest.
⭐ Zone B (East Coast Mid-Region)
Includes: Faliraki, Kallithea, Koskinou, Afandou, Kolymbia.
Mid-range pricing due to moderate distances.
⭐ Zone C (Lindos Region)
Includes: Lindos, Pefkos, Vlycha, Kalathos.
Long-distance pricing applies.
⭐ Zone D (South Coast)
Includes: Kiotari, Gennadi, Lachania, Plimmiri, Kattavia.
Taxi fares rise significantly because routes exceed 45–60 km.
Local insight:
If you stay in Zone C or D, pre-booking transfers is always cheaper than multiple taxis during the week.
⭐ Hidden Taxi Costs to Avoid (Local Warnings)
Taxis in Rhodes are regulated, but certain situations can increase your cost:
❌ Requesting taxis through hotel reception
Hotels often add a €2–€3 calling fee.
❌ Late-night queues at the airport
You may be forced into a minibus if taxis are limited — avoid by pre-booking.
❌ Stopping at supermarkets during the ride
Drivers may charge extra waiting time.
❌ Large luggage or sports gear
Some drivers may add €1–€2 unofficially — not standard, but it happens.
Local fix:
Pre-book a transfer if you’re carrying multiple suitcases, golf bags, diving gear, wedding dresses or photography equipment — far cheaper and easier.
⭐ Best Time of Day to Travel by Taxi (Local Advice)
✔ Early morning (07:00–09:30) — easiest time to find taxis
✔ Late afternoon (16:00–18:00) — stable traffic
✔ After 23:00 — easy except in Lindos
❌ Worst times to catch a taxi
11:00–13:00 (airport & cruise ship arrivals)
19:30–21:00 (Rhodes Town dinner rush)
01:00–02:00 (Lindos nightlife peak)
Local tip:
If staying in Lindos, order taxis 10 minutes in advance in the evening because roads near the village get congested.
⭐ Safety Tips When Using Taxis on Rhodes (Local Reality)
✔ Official taxis always have a light grey/metallic colour
✔ All drivers carry a professional taxi license
✔ Taxis cannot take additional passengers — not legal
✔ Always check you’re entering the right taxi at night
Local truth:
Taxi scams are extremely rare on Rhodes, especially compared to major islands like Santorini or Mykonos.
