YOUR PRIVATE ARRIVAL TRANSFER & other ways to reach the hotel
You can reach our hotel in one of the following three ways:
1. PRE-BOOKED PRIVATE PICKUP. It is by far the best way for your arrival transfer.
English speaking drivers, authorized to drive in the Medieval Town, will be waiting for you, help you with your luggage, and bring you to our doorstep.
An electric buggy may be used for the part of the drive in the Walled City.
Total fare per transfer: €50 (from the airport) or €20 (from the port), paid directly to the driver who picks you up (up to 4 guests with a reasonable volume of luggage).
• More than 4 guests or too much luggage require a minivan. Cost: €70 (airport), €30 (port).
• Guests arriving from Turkey by ferry are charged €10 extra due to long waiting time.
• If you travel light and arrive at one of the ports, contact us for a free transfer suggestion.
HOW TO BOOK YOUR PICKUP TRANSFER
• Copy the table below and paste it on your email to us (welcome@kokkiniporta.com).
• Fill in the required information.
• Send us your email when you have your flight details (not later than 72 hours before your arrival day). Availability is a problem.
• Your information will be forwarded to the driver who will pick you up.

2. ANY TAXI FOUND AT THE AIRPORT OR PORT RANK.
Depending on your arrival time and day, there may be a long queue and waiting time.
You will be dropped off outside the walled city, at least 150m from the hotel.
3. DRIVE A RENTAL CAR.
Driving to the right Gate and finding a parking space may be challenging.
You will need to park outside the walled city, at least 200m from the hotel.
Our guests rarely use a rental car on their first (or even second) day here. Instead, you can ask for a car to be brought to you the day you need it. Everything will be much easier.
Please note: We are not allowed to use our Hotel’s means for transfers and porter services from the Gates to the Hotel.

DRIVE A RENTAL CAR
We encourage all our guests to rent cars as the best and easiest way to enjoy more of what Rhodes has to offer.
BUT, we also let them know that:
• Picking a car up at the port or the airport and driving to the hotel is unnecessary and can be frustrating.
• However, dropping a car off at the airport at the end of your stay may be a very good idea.
Some of the reasons are:
• Almost none of our guests use a car on their first (or even second) day in Rhodes. They prefer to explore the Medieval Town before visiting other places of the island.
• When you firstly arrive, driving to the Old Town and finding the right Gate may be challenging. Everything is much easier and familiar the second day.
• Driving your car into the Medieval Town is not allowed. All rented cars need to be parked outside, near St. John’s Gate.
• We are not allowed to offer luggage or persons’ transfer from any of the Gates to the Hotel.
• If your departure is in the afternoon or evening, you can put your luggage in the car after checking out, go to places you have saved for the last day, and drop the car off at the port or airport. Your last day will be much more interesting and you will save the cost of a taxi transfer to the airport.
As soon as you decide that it is time to rent a car, we can ask a company of your choice to bring one at St. John’s gate, where you can also drop it off.
IMPORTANT: See our MAP about where NOT TO PARK every Wednesday night.
On Thursdays there is a Farmers’ Market in the little square near the Gate.
If you wish to rent a car to be picked up at the hotel and dropped off either here or at the airport, click HERE.
ANY TAXI

They charge much less than the pre-booked taxis with a Medieval Town license:

However:
• You will be dropped off outside the Old Town (approx. 150m from the hotel).
• Queuing and/or waiting may be required (depending on the day and time).
