Why Choose Our Rhodes Airport to Afandou Taxi Service?

Other Transport Options from Rhodes Airport to Afandou
While several transportation alternatives exist for reaching Afandou from Rhodes Airport, each has limitations compared to a private transfer:
- KTEL Bus (via Rhodes City): Rhodes KTEL operates intercity buses along the eastern coast, but services from the airport require travelling first to Rhodes city bus terminal and then taking a separate coastal service northward. The total journey time from airport to Afandou via public bus exceeds 90 minutes. Tickets for the combined journey cost approximately €4–6 per person.
- Airport Bus to Rhodes City: A public bus connects Rhodes Airport to Rhodes city bus station, with services running several times daily. The fare is approximately €2.50 per person and the journey takes around 25–30 minutes. From the city, KTEL coastal buses run northward toward Afandou, requiring a second ticket and additional waiting time.
- Standard Taxi: Taxis from the rank outside Rhodes Airport arrivals cost approximately €35–50 to Afandou for the 27km journey. Taxis are available around the clock without advance booking, though pre-booking during peak summer (July–August) is advisable to guarantee prompt availability.
- Car Rental: Car hire desks from major operators including Hertz, Avis, and local companies are available in Rhodes Airport arrivals. Rental rates start from approximately €25–40 per day in shoulder season. Having a car is useful for exploring the wider eastern coast and the interior of the island. Parking in Afandou village and at the beach is freely available.
Our private taxi from Rhodes Airport to Afandou eliminates these hassles with direct, comfortable, door-to-door service at a guaranteed fixed price.
About Afandou
Afandou is one of the most authentically Greek villages on Rhodes, sitting slightly inland from the coast with a genuinely local character that sets it apart from the heavily commercialised resorts to the north and south. The village has a traditional central square lined with tavernas and kafeneions, a beautiful Byzantine church, and a relaxed pace of life that appeals to visitors seeking a quieter holiday experience. The name Afandou is believed to derive from the Greek word for 'invisible', as the village was deliberately built inland and out of sight of the sea to protect it from pirate raids during the medieval period.
Afandou Beach, approximately 2 kilometres from the village centre, is one of the longest on Rhodes — a wide stretch of shingle and sand backed by tamarisk trees, generally less crowded than the beaches of Faliraki and Kolymbia. The area is also home to the only public golf course on Rhodes, an 18-hole course set among olive and carob trees close to the beach. The surrounding countryside offers pleasant walking through orchards and vineyards, and the village's traditional pottery workshops and local produce shops provide a genuinely Rhodian shopping experience far removed from souvenir strip commercialism.
