Rhodes Port to Lindos Transfer

Rhodes Port to Lindos transfer: the easiest way to get there

Getting from Rhodes Port to Lindos should be the easy part of the journey. With a private transfer it is: you tell us your flight number and your hotel, we confirm the price of the Rhodes Port to Lindos transfer on WhatsApp, and on the day a driver meets you at the arrivals hall and takes you straight to the door. No taxi rank, no ticket machines, no changing between buses with suitcases.

This page covers everything travellers ask about the Rhodes Port to Lindos 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 Lindos is like, what to see there and where to stay, where you meet your driver at Rhodes Port, which vehicles we use and how the booking works.

Arriving at Rhodes Port

Rhodes Port is the commercial and cruise harbour on the east side of the Old Town walls, about 16 km from the airport, with ferries to Piraeus, Kos and Symi and fast boats to Marmaris.

A little knowledge of Rhodes Port 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 Port to Lindos drive begins.

Rhodes Port to Lindos at a glance

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 Port to Lindos?

The airport taxi fare from Rhodes Port to Lindos is unpredictable: meters, night tariffs, tolls and traffic all move it, and you only learn the total at the door. A pre-booked Rhodes Port to Lindos 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 Port to Lindos per person - and by far the easiest. Public transport to Lindos 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 Lindos, 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 Port to Lindos: is there a bus, train or metro?

Public transport from Rhodes Port 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 Lindos from there means a further connection with your luggage, which is where a door-to-door car saves the most time and effort.

Many of our guests have tried the public route into Lindos once and booked the car ever after. The difference is not only speed but effort: no ticket machines in a foreign language, no stairs with suitcases, no working out the last mile to the hotel. A private Rhodes Port to Lindos transfer starts at the arrivals door and ends at the reception desk, and the fixed price covers the whole vehicle.

About Lindos

Lindos is the whitewashed village beneath the ancient acropolis, about 52 km south-east of Rhodes Airport and about 50 km from Rhodes Port. Lindos is the postcard village of Rhodes, a tangle of whitewashed houses and pebble-paved lanes climbing to the hilltop acropolis with its Temple of Athena Lindia and medieval castle walls. Below lie a sheltered bay with a sandy beach and the tiny, almost enclosed St Paul's Bay. Boutique hotels are tucked among old captains' houses, and the village lanes are closed to cars, so visitors walk in from the edge of the village. Pefkos, Lardos and Kiotari share the same hills and coastline to the south.

Things to do in Lindos

Once you have checked in, Lindos is worth exploring: Acropolis with the Temple of Athena Lindia, Whitewashed village lanes, St Paul's Bay, Lindos Bay beach and Medieval castle walls. 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: Filerimos hill, Epta Piges (Seven Springs) and Tsambika Bay and monastery - the same WhatsApp desk arranges the car there and back.

Where to stay in Lindos

Where you stay in Lindos makes no difference to the price of the transfer, which is fixed for the whole vehicle. The places most travellers choose: Boutique hotels in the village, Lindos Bay, Hills above the village and Pefkos or Lardos nearby - and any other address is fine too.

Cars cannot enter the village; the driver stops at the edge of Lindos and you walk the last part over steps and cobbles, so ask your hotel about luggage help and tell us if it is in the village or outside it.

Meeting your driver at Rhodes Port

Where you meet your driver depends on Rhodes Port: a set meeting point inside arrivals, a designated exit, or a name board held just after customs. Rather than guess, we send the exact instructions with your WhatsApp confirmation - the meeting place, the driver's name and number, and what to do if you cannot see them. If you choose flight tracking, your driver is at arrivals the minute you land.

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 Port.

Our vehicles for the Lindos 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.

Child seats and booster seats are available on request - say the ages of the children when you book and we bring the right ones. Extra-large luggage, sports equipment and wheelchairs are all fine; just mention them so the right vehicle is sent.

As a guide, the sedan suits one to three people with normal suitcases, the minivan or GMC a family or group of up to seven with their luggage, and the Sprinter larger parties of up to thirteen; there is cold water in the car, phone chargers in most models, and no smoking.

Who books the Lindos transfer

Families are our most frequent guests on this route: a private car means the children are strapped into proper seats, the pushchair goes in the back, and nobody is counting change for tickets. Groups of friends and extended families take the Sprinter or a minivan so the whole party travels together from Rhodes Port to Lindos on one fixed price. Older travellers book it for the door-to-door help with the bags, and couples for a calm start to the trip instead of a taxi queue.

If your trip continues beyond Lindos - a day trip, a second city, a port or a return to Rhodes Port - the same desk arranges it in the same WhatsApp conversation, with the same fixed-price approach.

How to book your Lindos 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 Lindos. 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. Because the terms depend on conditions such as how close to the pickup time the request is made, our team will explain exactly what applies to your booking when you ask - always before any payment, never as a surprise afterwards.

Good to know before you land at Rhodes Port

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 Port is the quickest way to say you are through.

Tell us in advance about anything that affects the vehicle - child seats and ages, a wheelchair, skis, golf bags, a pushchair, extra suitcases - so the right car or van is sent to Rhodes Port.

Lindos to Rhodes Port: the return transfer

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

On departure day the desk suggests a pickup time from Lindos based on your flight and the traffic expected at that hour, and confirms it in writing; if you would like to leave earlier for last-minute shopping or a meal near Rhodes Port, that is arranged in the same message.

Why travellers choose Haqqi Tours for Lindos transfers

We run airport transfers in dozens of cities, and the Rhodes Port to Lindos 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.
