Two tickets: EUR 2.50 on the RODA bus and EUR 32.00 on the Dodekanisos Seaways catamaran, one way, the price its booking page showed in October and November 2026. The slower ferry Panagia Skiadeni is EUR 18.00 on the 08:30 and 14:00 sailings in October. Neither ticket covers the other.

Hire a car for Lindos in the island's south, or for Ialysos, Ixia and Faliraki, none of which the airport bus reaches. You already reach the old town and Mandraki harbour on the RODA bus every 30 minutes until 00:45, and cars cannot drive far in anyway. Discover Cars shows the full price before you book.

Worth knowing
The catamaran leaves Rhodes at 08:00 and reaches Symi 45 to 50 minutes later; the slower ferry leaves at 08:30 and, from 13 October, at 14:00. Be at the quay an hour before, so the 06:50 weekday bus is too late for the 08:00: take the 05:45 on a Saturday or Sunday.
Dodekanisos Seaways sells tickets at kiosks at Kolona port and Akandia port and does not say on its site which quay each boat uses; check your ticket.
On some Sundays the slower ferry goes to Panormitis, at the far end of Symi, not to Symi town, and on some days in November there is no boat.
The RODA bus ends at its station on Averof Street, by Mandraki harbour; the quay is a walk from there.
