Rhodes has its own airport and there are direct flights available with many British airlines, including BA, EasyJet and Jet2.
Ferry boats are available daily to take you to nearby islands but times and schedules differ throughout the year.
We would suggest hiring a car to visit the more remote towns and villages.
Probably the easiest way to get around, the frequent bus services are widespread throughout the island. Schedules and routes are exhibited on bust stops and in Rhodes Harbour in both Greek and English.
It is certainly enjoyable to explore Rhodes by foot if you don't plan on going too far out but do bear in mind the high temperatures when planning a long route.
