Want to travel around the island of Rhodes by bus? No problem, it's very easy and the costs are very low. I will show you the different local bus companies with their itineraries and schedules on Rhodes. It is so easy to take the bus in the north of Rhodes, all you need is patience.
The blue west side busses
I use a color code to recognize the local busses on the island. The blue busses are owned by the company Roda. They focus on the local transportation between Rhodes Town and the west side of the island and the Diagoras airport.
Practical info
Color: blue
Price range: between 2,50€ and 4€
Where to pay: In the bus when you enter or at the main station counter
Time table: (Keep in mind these can vary because busses are usually late on the island)
Main station: bus station Mandraki Rhodes Town
The red east side busses
The red busses are owned by the KTEL company and drive around the eastern side of the island. There are a lot of busses going to the popular places on the east side of the island such as Faliraki and the most beautiful beaches. But you can also take this bus to go to Lindos, the amazing white city of Rhodes known for its acropolis. The bus rides every hour and the price until Lindos will be around €5,50.
Practical info

Important tips!
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 busses 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!
