If you opt to rent a car for the duration of your visit then you’ll easily be able to visit many of the castles and churches that are scattered across the island. Summer also sees quite a few events and festivals such as the Medieval Rose Festival which takes place every year.
Off season:
October can be pretty wet and stormy, so you might want to avoid booking flights to Rhodes at any point during this month. Winter is another quiet time to visit the island. You’ll find the cheapest flights to Rhodes from January to late March, which is also the best time of year to do some fishing if you are keen on that. It’s worth noting that a lot of restaurants or bars might be closed during the winter as tourism grinds to a slow halt.

British Airways, for instance, provide complimentary snacks and beverages for the entirety of their flights to Rhodes. If you are after the cheapest flights to Rhodes, then easyJet will more often than not offer flight tickets at the lowest rates. Thomas Cook and Thomson Airways fall somewhere in the middle.

There are buses that run pretty much most of the day, although you might find yourself waiting an hour if you have just missed one bus. Buses are the easiest and cheapest way to get into the city even if you have baggage, the only downside is that you have to go by their timetable. Taxis are another alternative, however they are a lot more money compared to the 2 or 3 euro ticket fare for the bus. If you do choose a taxi make sure you agree on the price before getting in. Finally, you could opt to rent a car from the airport. This makes more sense if you are planning to explore the island, otherwise you might find it more of a burden.
