Rent a Car in Downtown Rhodes

Rent a car in Kiotary and explore south Rhodes, one of the island's most unspoiled and authentic areas. Kiotary is a small resort village 55 km south of Rhodes town, with long empty beaches and quiet surroundings. Without a car you are completely dependent on infrequent buses – with a rental car the entire southern island opens up.

Kiotary sits on a shallow, sheltered bay with perfect conditions for snorkeling. The village of Lachania, 5 km to the west, is one of Rhodes' best-preserved medieval villages with charming narrow streets and traditional kafeneia. Drive 12 km south to Prasonisi, Rhodes' southernmost point, where the Mediterranean meets the Aegean Sea – a unique natural experience.

Take the inland route via Istrios and Profitis Ilias for dramatic mountain views. Fill up at Gennadi (8 km north) as gas stations are sparse in south Rhodes. Why do I need a rental car in Kiotary?
