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.

  • Employ, purchase, donate and invest locally
  • Finance and otherwise undertake the preservation of historical buildings
  • Volunteer repairs, maintenance and cleaning of parks and public areas
  • Promote local history, culture, products and cuisine

They provide hot water and generate electric power for storage

Stored energy is used forlighting in public areas, water purification and in power cuts

LED light bulbs are installed in all indoor and outdoor lights

Energy efficient equipment is used to the extent possible

Sensors and timers regulate lighting and air conditioning in public areas

  • Air conditioners and most lights are automatically switched off when guests are not in rooms
  • Walls, roofs, floors and hot water tubing are thermally insulated

Transport millage is reduced by purchasing from local suppliers

  • A constantly replenished amount is hygienically stored for the event of a shortage
  • Drinking and cooking water is used immediately after being multi-filtered and UV purified
  • Waste is minimized:
    • Part of the used tap water is filtered, purified and reused for irrigation & outdoors’ washing
    • Aerators, auto-timed drip irrigation and fountain recirculation pumps are used
  •  

Our approach is to actively manage and reduce ourwaste by:

  • Usingless, reusing, repurposing, refilling and recycling to the extent possible
  • Salvaging and giving a second life to all kinds of items and materials
  • Purchasing recycled, recyclable, natural, biodegradable and compostable materials to the extent possible
  • Having a system for filling reusable containers with purified drinking water:
    • Sanitized glass bottles are filled for use in the hotel and
    • New, unused aluminum canisters are offered gratis to guests for when not in the hotel
  • Distributing excess food daily to those who need it

It has been said that, when it comes to food, “we have an appetite forgiving”.

However, our approach includes much more:

  • Local, fresh and (when possible) organic products are bought daily
  • Our sources are producers and suppliers we personally know and often visit
  • They all practice sustainable and responsible production and business practices
  • We grow our own herbs, herbal teas, aromatic plants and a small part of the fruit we use
    Everything we serve is lovingly prepared in our kitchen “No Wasted Food” is a key part of our ecological and social behavior
    Everything is purchased, stored and prepared wisely
    Excess food is put to good use: it is daily distributed to those who need it
    The rest is composted and used in fertilizing our gardens

In our efforts to drastically reduce the use of plastic

  • Refillable dispensers are in our suites’ bathrooms for soap, shampoo and hair products
  • Detergents and cleaning liquids are bought in bulk containers
  • Drinking water is purified and offered in glass, refillable, sanitized bottles
  • Brand-new aluminum water canisters are complimentary for guests to take with them
  • Natural, sustainable materials are used instead of plastic, whenever possible Biodegradable, reusable and recyclable plastics are chosen when necessary
  • Nylon bags brought with our supplies are reused and eventually recycled

We keep our gardens and terraces simple, natural and sustainable. In their limited space, we are proud to

  • Grow native herbal teas, aromatic plants, spices and flowers
    Look after our 300-year-old mulberry tree, our olive, bitter orange and othertrees
    Encourage the presence of bees and butterflies
    Choose plants that need little or no watering
  • Use compost, naturalfertilizers and invasive insect repellants
  • Avoid chemicals and pesticides
  • Reuse filtered tap water for our auto-timed drip irrigation system
  • Have cisterns and recirculation pumps for our fountains

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

● SECOND BEST WAY:  A TAXI found at the airport’s or port’s taxi rank.

They charge much less than the pre-booked taxis with a Medieval Town license:
€30 (from the airport) or €12 (from the port), paid in cash to the driver.

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).
