Pure variety in winter on Rhodes

If you like variety on holiday, you are in good hands in Rhodes in winter. Shortly before Christmas, you can help with the orange and lemon harvest in Rhodes and then go for a walk by the sea.

Even in winter you can look forward to relatively dry days on the Greek island. When you come back after a long hike, you can go swimming in the sea in Rhodes even in winter.

Car hire at Rhodes Airport: Cheap offers through price comparison

Car hire at the airport

If you want to hire a car cheaply, Rhodes Airport is the right place for you, as many international hired car companies have settled here. The car hire offers are very varied and particularly cheap due to the variety of car hire stations. The pick-up station can be booked directly at the airport or in another holiday destination of your choice. It is also possible to pick up the hired car at a pick-up station, but to drop it off at a completely different pick-up station. For this you have to pay a surcharge, that the car has to be returned to the actual car hire.

Rhodes Airport car hire: petrol stations

Refuel your hired car

In Greece, and thus also on the island of Rhodes, there is right-hand traffic. The roads on Rhodes are not only well signposted but also very well signposted, there are several petrol stations along the roadside. Above all, the large brand of "EKO petrol stations" is represented by a widespread network of petrol stations, including directly at Rhodes airport.

As a rule, they take over the hired car with full tanks and can refuel it at the airport at the end of the trip. The major petrol station operators accept cash, EC and credit cards. The petrol station attendant usually fills Rhodes himself, so he knows exactly what kind of fuel to fill. He will certainly be very happy about rounding up the refuelled amount as a small tip for the petrol pump attendant.

In the sparsely populated south of the island, the density of petrol stations is not quite so high anymore and the road conditions are also somewhat worse. But even there you don't necessarily need an SUV or jeep to drive everywhere. With a fully refuelled car you can get around the island about twice, so it's no problem if you don't see the next gas station in sight. And the fuel is quite cheap in Greece anyway.

Faliraki Beach

Old Town Rhodes

The historic old town of Rhodes is like a huge open-air museum. It is considered one of the best-preserved medieval cities in Europe and is also recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Grand Master's Palace, the fortifications, the city walls and paved streets such as Ritterstraße are worth seeing. There are numerous Turkish mosques to visit.

Most of the hotels are located in the modern and architecturally completely different designed new city. A great contrast for the eye to explore. The Old and New Town are only a 10 to 15 minute walk away from each other. The pulsating nightlife also takes place in the new town and you can visit the marina, the cruise ship terminal as well as the popular and typical Greek Mandraki harbour.

If you want to visit the most picturesque place in Greece, you should visit Lindos. This place with its white houses nestles against a mountain slope and as a crowning glory the second largest acropolis of Greece is enthroned on the hilltop. You can either walk to this temple complex from antiquity or take a donkey taxi. From the top you can enjoy fantastic views. A "must-have" in Lindos is also the famous valley of butterflies, where it flutters colourful, wild and rarely from these delicate creatures!

Faliraki is the most popular holiday resort in Rhodes, which also has the longest beach with a length of five kilometres. It is located on the east coast and with its perfect infrastructure, it promises the finest bathing and beach pleasure as well as a luscious nightlife.

Surfing on Rhodes

Ialyssos and Ixia are not only Eldorados for surfers but also popular holiday resorts on the northwest coast of Rhodes, just a few kilometres from the capital.

If you would like to visit the beautiful Aegean island of Rhodes in Greece, you should hire a hired car, preferably directly from the pick-up point at the airport, where you can return it comfortably at the end of your holiday. This makes you independent and allows you to explore even the most remote and secret places of the island's paradise.
