Transportation | Rhodes (Rhodos, Rodos) Island - Greece

The road network of the Rhodes City has mainly narrow and one-way streets (during the high season about 70,000 cars move from/to the center of per day). The Medieval Town closes for vehicles during the summer so all the traffic gathers outside the walls. Finding a parking space you need some luck during high season. Direction signings on the streets are sufficient. From the south end of the city begins E-95, the national road that connects the city with Faliraki, Lindos and the rest island.
