Visitors

Rhodes has more than a million visitors every year who come for the sea, the sun, the scenery, the food and the hospitable people. BUT if you are a pilot there is no better way to enjoy the Greek Islands than to make your own itinerary in your own plane. Many of the islands close to Rhodes have small, controlled airports and visiting them in or out of season is an exciting experience.
The aeroclub welcomes visitors. Temporary membership and check-out flights are available. Contact us before you come to make sure the paper work is completed.
