Quick answer: Rhodes “Diagoras” Airport (RHO) has one terminal with two passenger levels: check-in and arrivals on the ground floor, security and the departure gates upstairs. Both lounges sit on the 2nd floor above the Schengen gates. There is no smoking area after security and no left-luggage office anywhere in the terminal. The taxi rank and the car parks are right outside the arrivals exit; the RODA public bus stops out on the main road. The schematic maps below are drawn on the airport’s real OpenStreetMap footprint.

Aprons are the aircraft stands, and “P” marks the parking zones; Rhodes Town lies about 14–15 km to the north-east. The diagram is simplified and not to scale.

Terminal map: how the levels work
RHO is a single terminal drawn here on its real footprint from OpenStreetMap: a long bar with the aircraft stands along one side and the forecourt along the other. Everything before security happens on the ground floor; everything after security happens upstairs.
Car-hire desks sit in the arrivals hall, and the zones on this diagram are functional rather than architectural — they show how the building works. Check-in desks open about two hours before departure; shops and dining sit past the screening point, so leave spare time after security. Both lounges are on the 2nd floor above the Schengen gates; details are in our Rhodes Airport lounges guide (€40 at the door, or free with Priority Pass, LoungeKey and DragonPass; The Lounge runs 05:00–23:00, Goldair CIP is seasonal).
Transport map: taxis, buses and parking
This is the forecourt at close range: the strip you step onto when you walk out of arrivals. The terminal edge runs along the top; everything below it is drawn from the airport’s real OpenStreetMap geometry, so the distances are true even though the walking times are not.
Short-stay spaces sit closest to the terminal and long-stay is beyond them; the airport operator sets both the zone layout and the rates, so we quote no figures; see our parking guide. Zones marked “private” are mapped with restricted access, and walking times on the diagram are not to scale. The RODA bus is the cheapest way into town but stops on the main road about 600 m from arrivals and runs to a limited timetable: bus and shuttle options. In season (roughly May to September), KTEL also runs a direct line 25 between the airport and Faliraki (€3.50, about hourly). Metered fares and a fare calculator are in our taxi guide, with routes to Lindos and to Faliraki.
FAQ
Is there an official interactive map of Rhodes Airport?
The airport itself does not publish a detailed indoor map. The schematics on this page are drawn on the airport’s real OpenStreetMap footprint and verified against our own on-the-ground guides; the terminal is small enough that a functional diagram covers it fully.
Where are the lounges at Rhodes Airport?
Both lounges are on the 2nd floor above the Schengen departure gates: The Lounge Rhodes (€40 single entry, or free with Priority Pass, LoungeKey, DragonPass and some premium cards, open 05:00–23:00) and the seasonal Goldair Handling CIP lounge with a sea view.
Where can I smoke at Rhodes Airport?
Only in the designated outdoor areas outside the terminal, before check-in and security. There are no smoking rooms after security, and e-cigarettes are treated the same as tobacco indoors.
Is there a left-luggage office on the map?
No — Rhodes Airport has no left-luggage or locker service anywhere in the terminal. If you need to store bags for a day, that has to be arranged in Rhodes Town, not at the airport.
How do I get from the airport to Rhodes Town?
Rhodes Town is about 14–15 km away: a 20–25 minute drive on a clear run, and up to about 35 minutes in peak summer traffic through Ialysos. The public bus is the cheapest option, but it stops out on the main road about 600 m from arrivals and runs to a limited timetable; the taxi rank is right outside the door, and taxis run on the meter.
About these maps
Drawn by the Rhodes Airport Guide Editorial Team on the airport’s real footprint from OpenStreetMap (© OpenStreetMap contributors, ODbL; geometry simplified). Amenity positions reflect our own airport guides rather than promotional material, and the level diagrams are functional — they show how the building works, not architectural drawings.
