Rhodes International Airport "Diagoras" — Rhodes, Greece

Rhodes International Airport, coded RHO and popularly known by the added name Diagoras after an ancient Rhodian boxer celebrated in Olympic history, sits on the northwestern coast of the Greek island near the resort town of Ialysos. As the main air gateway to the Dodecanese island chain, RHO experiences an intense seasonal surge each summer, when charter and scheduled flights from across Northern Europe bring visitors to Rhodes's beaches and to the medieval Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site built by the Knights Hospitaller centuries ago. Traffic falls away considerably in the winter months, leaving the airport far quieter outside the April-to-October tourist season. RHO also supports smaller inter-island hops connecting Rhodes to neighboring Dodecanese destinations such as Kos and Karpathos. Its runway sits close enough to the coastline that landing approaches offer clear views over the Aegean Sea toward the Turkish coast beyond.
