The island of Rhodes boasts the presence of a good road network. Given the extension, to move independently from one extreme to another, the car is the ideal solution. The bus, however, is preferable if you want to move only in the most touristy places.
GETTING AROUND RHODES BY CAR
The main road of the island connects Rodi Town to Lindos, continuing up to Cape Prassonissi. The distance between the two ends of the island (Prassonissi-Rodi Town) and about 90 kilometers. It is a coastal road, characterized by numerous twists and turns. Of course, there are plenty of scenic spots and less crowded beaches to spend a few hours.
For this reason, we recommend that you turn the island by car. The rental prices, then, are not exorbitant at all. Whether you book on-site or at home. It is better to opt for local agencies that offer excellent prices and the advantage of booking without a credit card or security deposit (after taking out an “all-inclusive” insurance).

GETTING AROUND RHODES BY TAXI
Taxis are a valid alternative, and an excellent way to get around if you are three or more people. The taxi stop is located right next to the bus station in the heart of Rhodes. Cheap but, obviously, more expensive than public transport: recommended especially for covering short distances.
