Information about Rhodes
Airport - The island is served by Diagoras International Airport with the IATA code RHO. The airport is situated on the west coast about 14km from Rhodes Town. There are regular flights to and from Athens, Thessaloniki, and Crete; charter airlines connect Rhodes with many major cities all over Europe. In 2006 a new wing was built at Diagoras Airport, that will open in 2007 to service only the charter flights, which during high season can reach 150-180 per day!
Shopping - Ceramic watch for the many "Keramik factory" outlets along the roads). Bottle of local wine are famous (eg CAIR) and tasty. Jewelry stores are common, particularly in Rhodes Town. Umbrellas - manufactured by the two large industries of the island (there is, though, a popular "joke" souvenir - on an island with 300+ sun days a year, these are rarely needed). Colorful sea shells are a popular souvenir item, but very many of them are actually imported, and have no authentic connection to the island whatsoever. Many brand name products for sale in the tourist shops may be fakes and/or unlicensed (t-shirts, towels, hand bags, and so on)
