Introducing Rhodes Airport
Rhodes International Airport, "Diagoras", is one of the busier airports in Greece, helping more than 5 million people get to and from the island every year. It operates year-round, but is considerably busier during the summer tourist season, when additional flights are added to keep up with the influx. There are international flights to and from destinations all over Europe, as well as a number of domestic routes to places such as Thessaloniki, Athens, and Heraklion.
Within the terminal, you’ll find plenty of useful facilities and amenities. There are bars, restaurants, shops, ATMs, and a currency exchange desk all located within the terminal. Note that while there is WiFi available, it isn’t particularly fast or reliable.
You’ll find the car rental kiosks within the terminal in the arrivals area to pick up your car keys and hit the road.
The main roads throughout Rhodes Island are well maintained. There are just two main highways, and both of them have a top speed limit of 80 km/h (50mph).

Rhodes Airport is 14 kilometres from town, so it should only take you 20 minutes to drive there under normal traffic conditions. Simply turn left as you leave the terminal and follow Epar.Od. Ialisou-Katavias, then turn right onto Iliadon, right onto Giorgou Street, then left to Mihail Petridi.
