Bus Hire in Rhodes

Rhodes is the largest of the Dodecanese islands and one of the most visited in the Mediterranean. Its medieval Old Town (UNESCO), the Acropolis of Lindos, and a well-developed resort coast from Faliraki to Ixia make it a year-round destination for leisure groups, cruise passengers, and incentive travel. The island is 78 km long, requiring genuine coach logistics for groups wanting to explore beyond the immediate resort area.

Rhodes operators are experienced with the full range of group types: UK and Scandinavian package holiday coach transfers, Mediterranean cruise shore excursions, and high-end incentive groups based in five-star hotels on the north-east coast. The main road network is good but narrows significantly in the interior and southern parts of the island.

Rhodes Diagoras Airport (RHO) is 14 km south-west of Rhodes Town on the west coast. Transfer times: Rhodes Town (20–30 min), Faliraki (30 min), Ixia (15 min), Lindos (1.5 hrs from airport).
