⭐ Taxi Fare Rhodes Airport to Old Town (2026 Update)
The taxi fare from Rhodes Airport to Old Town normally costs between €27 and €29 during daytime for up to four passengers. Old Town sits inside the Medieval City walls and is located just a few minutes from Mandraki Harbour, which is where most taxis drop travellers.
The journey usually takes around 25 to 35 minutes depending on traffic. During peak summer afternoons, travel time may increase slightly due to airport and beach traffic, but taxi prices remain fixed because airport routes follow official pricing zones.
Local tip:
If your hotel is inside the Old Town pedestrian zone, taxis will normally stop at the nearest accessible gate. Most hotels then provide short walking directions or golf-cart assistance for luggage.

⭐ 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.

If you’re planning how to explore the island once you arrive, my curated list of best experiences in Rhodes includes boat trips, island tours, and local activities visitors love most.
⭐ 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

⭐ 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 ↔ Faliraki — 14 km
Rhodes Town ↔ Lindos — 48 km
Rhodes Town ↔ Kolymbia — 25–27 km
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.
⭐ FAQ
❓ How much do taxis cost in Rhodes in 2025–2026?
Taxi prices in Rhodes mainly depend on travel distance and pricing zones across the island. Short journeys between nearby resorts or towns usually cost between €8 and €22, especially around Rhodes Town, Ixia, Ialyssos, Faliraki, and Kolymbia.
Airport transfers follow fixed tourist fare zones, which keeps prices predictable even during peak summer season. For example, taxis from Rhodes Airport to Old Town usually cost around €27–29, while longer journeys to resorts like Lindos normally range between €74 and €80. These fixed prices exist to prevent overcharging and help visitors plan transport costs easily.

If you're planning your overall holiday budget, my full cost breakdown inside Is Rhodes Expensive Compared to Other Greek Islands helps explain realistic daily spending across accommodation, food, and transport.
❓ Is it cheaper to take a taxi or rent a car in Rhodes?
Taxis are usually the better choice if you only plan to travel occasionally, such as airport transfers, evening meals, or short resort-to-resort trips. Travellers staying mainly in one area often find taxis easier and more stress-free.
However, renting a car becomes much cheaper and more flexible if you plan to explore beaches, villages, viewpoints, and historical sites across multiple regions of the island. Because Rhodes is large and spread out, travellers who want to visit areas like Lindos, Prasonisi, Monolithos, or hidden beaches often benefit from having their own vehicle.

❓ Are taxis easy to find in Rhodes during high season?
Yes — taxis are widely available across most tourist areas, even during peak summer months. Rhodes Town, Faliraki, Kolymbia, and Lindos all have official taxi stations, and hotels or restaurants can easily arrange taxis for guests.
The only times taxis may be harder to find are:
• Late evenings in Lindos village
• Large cruise ship arrival days
• Late-night airport arrivals in July and August
During these busy periods, pre-booking a transfer or ordering a taxi 10–15 minutes in advance helps avoid waiting times, especially in smaller resort areas.
If you're arriving by plane, you may also find my full airport arrival guide helpful inside Rhodes Airport Diagoras – Complete Travel Guide.
❓ Do taxis in Rhodes accept card payments?
Some taxis accept card payments, but not all vehicles are equipped with card machines. Even when card payments are available, signal or connection problems can occasionally slow the payment process.
For this reason, locals usually recommend carrying small amounts of cash for taxi journeys. Cash payments are faster, widely accepted, and avoid unnecessary delays, especially late at night or in smaller villages.
If you’re planning transport, accommodation, and activities together, you may also find exclusive partner discounts inside Local Deals – Rhodes Travel Offers & Local Discounts helpful:
❓ Is there Uber or Bolt in Rhodes?
No — international ride-sharing apps such as Uber, Bolt, or Lyft do not operate on Rhodes. The island mainly uses licensed local taxis, private transfer companies, and public buses for transport.
Travellers who prefer app-based taxi booking can use the RodosTaxi app, which allows you to request and track licensed taxis across the main resort areas.
For a full overview of transport options and how locals combine buses, taxis, and car hire, visit the main planning hub inside Plan Your Rhodes Trip – Complete Local Planning Guide.
❓ Are taxis safe for solo female travellers in Rhodes?
Yes — taxis in Rhodes are generally very safe and well regulated. Drivers must carry professional taxi licences, and the island has a strong reputation as one of the safest destinations in Greece for solo travellers.
Like anywhere in the world, it’s always sensible to use official taxis, avoid accepting rides from strangers, and sit in the back seat if travelling alone. Overall, taxi services on Rhodes are considered reliable, friendly, and safe for visitors.
If you're travelling alone and want local safety advice, accommodation tips, and area recommendations, you may also find Rhodes for Solo Travellers – Safety, Areas and Things to Do helpful.
❓ Do taxi prices increase on Sundays or public holidays in Rhodes?
Taxi prices for major tourist routes normally remain the same on Sundays and public holidays because most airport and resort journeys follow fixed pricing zones. This helps visitors avoid unexpected price increases during busy travel periods.
The only time prices may change slightly is during official night-time hours, when small surcharges may apply. These night surcharges are standard across Greece and are not related to weekends or holidays.

❓ Is it better to pre-book a taxi from Rhodes Airport?
❓ Is it better to pre-book a taxi from Rhodes Airport?
In most cases, I actually recommend booking a private transfer instead of a standard airport taxi, especially if you arrive late at night, travel with children, carry heavy luggage, visit during peak summer months, or stay in southern resorts such as Pefkos, Kiotari, or Gennadi.
Private transfers are often similar in price or sometimes cheaper than taxis, but they are usually more efficient and stress-free. Your driver waits for you inside arrivals, helps with luggage, and the price is agreed in advance, so there are no queues, no uncertainty, and no waiting during busy arrival hours.
