Pythagorio to Rhodes Route Map
Pythagorio to Rhodes is the full length of the Dodekanisos Seaways line, sailed by the Dodekanisos Pride in around ten hours. The catamaran calls at most of the Dodecanese on the way down, so this is a long day of island-hopping in one ticket rather than a direct dash. It is worth stocking up on food and water before boarding.
Rhodes is the largest island of the Dodecanese and a major destination in its own right. The medieval Old Town, built by the Knights of St John and listed by UNESCO, is a short walk from the harbour, and Mandraki, the old port, is the one associated with the legendary Colossus. Beyond the town there are long beaches, resorts and the inland villages of the island's south.
This full-length run operates only a couple of times a fortnight, so it needs planning; fares start around €79. Current sailing days, durations and prices are listed below. Rhodes is a hub with links to the rest of the Dodecanese, to Crete, to Piraeus and to Turkey, plus an international airport.

Hiring a car
Is it worth hiring a car in Rhodes?
Worth it if you're staying more than a couple of days, since the island is large and its two bus companies (Roda in the west, KTEL in the east) don't make it easy to combine both coasts in a day. The port is a 10-minute walk from Rhodes Old Town, with paid parking nearby. Compare local suppliers at Discover Cars.
Can you rent a car in Pythagorio?
Yes, several agencies have offices right in Pythagorio, and more are based just 3km away at Samos airport on the same south coast, about a 10-minute taxi ride apart. A car is worth having to reach the north coast and inland villages, since bus coverage on Samos is limited outside the main towns. Compare local prices at Discover Cars.

Tips for the Pythagorio to Rhodes ferry
- Onboard food prices are higher than onshore – if you are on a budget, bring sandwiches, fruit, and water from a supermarket before you board.
- A Force 6 wind produces wave heights of 2–3 metres; even passengers who do not normally feel seasick may be affected in these conditions.
- Bring a portable power bank rated at least 10,000 mAh; charging sockets on ferries are not always reliable, and island power cuts are not unheard of.
- Sunglasses are essential on open deck in the Aegean – the reflected glare off the water is very intense, especially in the middle of the day.
- Once you arrive in Rhodes, the medieval walled Old Town – a UNESCO World Heritage Site – is one of the best-preserved medieval cities in Europe, with the Street of the Knights and the Palace of the Grand Master as its centrepieces. Tsambika Beach on the east coast and the ancient hilltop site of Lindos are the island's other headline attractions.
