Rhodes Airport to Ixia Transfer

Rhodes Airport to Ixia transfer: the easiest way to get there

The best way to get from Rhodes Airport to Ixia depends on what you are carrying and who you are travelling with, but for almost everyone arriving with luggage, family or after a long flight, a pre-booked private transfer is the answer. Haqqi Tours' Rhodes Airport to Ixia airport transfer is met at arrivals, priced in advance and driven by someone who does this route every week.

This page covers everything travellers ask about the Rhodes Airport to Ixia route: how far it is and how long it takes, whether an airport taxi, public transport or a private transfer is the better choice, what Ixia is like, what to see there and where to stay, where you meet your driver at Rhodes Airport, which vehicles we use and how the booking works.

Arriving at Rhodes Airport (RHO)

Rhodes International Airport (RHO), also called Diagoras, is at Paradisi on the west coast, about 15 km from Rhodes Town, 18 km from Faliraki and 52 km from Lindos.

A little knowledge of Rhodes Airport makes the arrival calmer. Note which terminal or hall your flight uses, keep your phone charged for the WhatsApp thread, and expect the driver to be exactly where the confirmation said - by the arrivals exit with a name board, or at the airport's designated meeting point. From there it is a short walk to the car and the Rhodes Airport to Ixia drive begins.

Searches for "RHO to Ixia" or "RHO airport transfer" land here for a reason: RHO is the airport code for Rhodes Airport, and this is the private-car service that connects it with Ixia.

Price: fixed for the whole vehicle and agreed on WhatsApp before you travel, tolls and waiting included, nothing to pay the driver on the day.

Taxi or private transfer from Rhodes Airport to Ixia?

The airport taxi fare from Rhodes Airport to Ixia is unpredictable: meters, night tariffs, tolls and traffic all move it, and you only learn the total at the door. A pre-booked Rhodes Airport to Ixia transfer is the opposite - one fixed cost for the vehicle, however long the drive takes, with the price agreed before your trip.

For one traveller with a small bag, a taxi or public transport can be a fair choice. For two or more people, a family with children, or anyone with real luggage, a private transfer is normally the cheapest way to get from Rhodes Airport to Ixia per person - and by far the easiest. Public transport to Ixia involves changes, tickets and stairs; a private car goes to the hotel door.

There is also the question of trust. Our drivers know the hotels of Ixia, work on a fixed price, and never take a detour or add a "special fare" at the end. Your booking is confirmed by a real person on a WhatsApp desk that works in Arabic and English, and that same desk is reachable throughout your trip.

Public transport from Rhodes Airport to Ixia: is there a bus, train or metro?

Public transport from Rhodes Airport runs mainly into Rhodes itself: public buses run from the airport to Rhodes Town, and from there along both coasts, which suits a hotel in the capital; for Lindos, the south-east resorts, families with luggage or late arrivals a private car from the terminal is simpler and far quicker. Reaching Ixia from there means a further connection with your luggage, which is where a door-to-door car saves the most time and effort.

So the honest comparison for Ixia is this: public transport is the cheapest option for one person with a cabin bag and time to spare, and a private Rhodes Airport to Ixia transfer is the better one for everybody else - two or more travellers, families, older relatives, anyone landing late, anyone with proper luggage. The price is per vehicle, not per person, which is why a family of four often pays less than it would on four bus or train tickets plus the taxi at the end.

About Ixia

Ixia is the hotel strip on the north-west coast just outside Rhodes Town, about 9 km north-east of Rhodes Airport. Ixia is a long line of large hotels and resorts facing the sea on the north-west shore, a short ride from Rhodes Town. The beach is pebbly with clear water, and a waterfront path links it with Ialyssos and the city. Windsurfers and kitesurfers appreciate the breezy conditions, while the New Town's restaurants and the walled Old Town are around ten minutes away by car. Because the resorts are so close to the airport, early departures and late arrivals are easy here.

Once you have checked in, Ixia is worth exploring: Row of large beachfront hotels, Pebble beach and clear water, Windsurfing and kitesurfing, Quick access to Rhodes Town and Close to the airport. Your driver can point some of them out on the way in, and the WhatsApp desk can arrange a car for a day out if you want to see more.

Rhodes itself is within reach for a day: the Palace of the Grand Master, the acropolis of Lindos and Mandraki harbour - the same WhatsApp desk arranges the car there and back.

Where to stay in Ixia

Meeting your driver at Rhodes Airport

Your confirmation message on WhatsApp includes the meeting arrangement for Rhodes Airport - it varies by airport, between an indoor meeting point, a specific exit and a driver with a sign at the arrivals door - along with your driver's name and number. With flight tracking, your driver is there the minute you land, and the waiting time is included in the fixed price.

Up to 60 minutes of waiting is included (90 minutes at some airports), and if you are delayed at baggage or passport control a quick WhatsApp message keeps your driver informed. On the way back, the driver collects you from the hotel at an agreed time with enough margin for your flight from Rhodes Airport.

Our vehicles for the Ixia transfer

For this route we offer Sedan (1–3 passengers), Minivan (1–7 passengers) and Sprinter (8–13 passengers). The vans are Mercedes, Volkswagen, Ford Transit and Peugeot Traveller models, all recent, air-conditioned and cleaned between journeys, with proper luggage space rather than a crowded boot. Choose the vehicle by how many of you are travelling and how much luggage you bring; the desk will tell you if a larger vehicle would be more comfortable.

Every vehicle is checked and cleaned between journeys, and the drivers know the hotels of Ixia and their side streets, so you are delivered to the right gate, not just the main road.

Who books the Ixia transfer

How to book your Ixia transfer

Booking is simple: fill in the form on this page or message us on WhatsApp with your flight number, the date, the number of passengers and your hotel in Ixia. A member of our team replies within minutes to confirm the price and the meeting point. Payment is arranged on WhatsApp as well, in whichever way suits you, and your confirmation is written down so nothing is left to memory.

Changes and cancellations are handled through the same WhatsApp conversation.

Good to know before you land at Rhodes Airport

Rhodes is a big island and the resorts are far apart, so give the driver the exact hotel name and area; if your stay is in Lindos, Pefkos or the south-east, expect a drive of about an hour or more.

Keep your phone charged and roaming or Wi-Fi on for the WhatsApp thread; the driver's number is in your confirmation and a message on landing at Rhodes Airport is the quickest way to say you are through.

If you are two households or a group, say how many bags as well as how many people; luggage decides the vehicle more often than passengers do.

Ixia to Rhodes Airport: the return transfer

The same service runs the other way. For a Ixia to Rhodes Airport transfer we collect you from your hotel at an agreed time, with a comfortable margin for check-in and security at Rhodes Airport, and the driver helps with the luggage at both ends. Book both directions together and the desk keeps them on one confirmation.

The Ixia to Rhodes Airport leg is the same fixed price, and the driver drops the bags at the right departures entrance so you are not hunting for the terminal yourself.

Why travellers choose Haqqi Tours for Ixia transfers

We run airport transfers in dozens of cities, and the Rhodes Airport to Ixia route follows the same simple promise as every other: one fixed price for the whole vehicle, agreed in writing; a driver who tracks your flight and meets you at arrivals; a vehicle matched to your group and your luggage; and a desk that answers. It is the way we would want to arrive ourselves.

Pickup options and waiting time

When you book on WhatsApp, you choose one of two pickup options for your arrival:

• Flight tracking: your driver is at arrivals the minute your flight lands and waits for up to 60 minutes. If your flight lands at 2:00 pm, the driver is there at 2:00 pm.
• Fixed time (no tracking): your driver arrives at a time you choose and waits for up to 60 minutes from that time. Send us your flight number and we check its real landing times over the past 10 days to recommend the best pickup time.

At most airports the included waiting time is 60 minutes; at some it is 90 minutes. We confirm the exact waiting time for your airport when you book with us on WhatsApp. After that, the driver cannot wait longer: the fixed price is based on one hour of airport parking and the driver's time, and with more than 30 transfers a day, every booking is scheduled back to back.

With flight tracking, normal delays are covered. If your flight is delayed by more than 5 hours, we cannot guarantee a new pickup at the last minute, because the new arrival time is uncertain and other transfers are already scheduled. Message us as soon as the delay is announced: we always do our best to rearrange, but it depends on the number of bookings that day. With a fixed-time pickup, the time slot is reserved for you and cannot be changed on the day, even if your flight is delayed or something unexpected happens.

Two hours before your flight lands, we send you your driver's name and phone number on WhatsApp. If you are still in the air, the message will be waiting for you as soon as you switch on your phone. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
