Important note and recommendations!
Visiting Rhodes by public transportation is cheap and busses ride regularly. An important note is that these busses (in 2020) have no air-conditioning. So driving by bus all the way to the south can take hours and will be unpleasant.
I suggest renting a car for long distances but take the bus to Rhodes town because it is just impossible to park there!
For the popular distances (such as Ixia - Rhodes town or Faliraki - Rhodes town) you will have a lot of people on the bus and some buses don't even stop when they are full! It is important to take an early bus to Rhodes town to avoid the crowd and guarantee your spot on the bus.
If you need more information about the local means of transportation don't hesitate to contact me! Wishing you a lot of fun on the gorgeous island of Rhodes and happy exploring!
Keep on dreaming and Fly Along!
