Serving the entire Dodecanese island group, the port of Rhodes (GR RHO) is a multi-basin complex whose commercial workhorse is Akandia, while the historic inner harbour of Mandraki now handles only small ferries and pleasure craft. Akandia accommodates large RoRo car ferries (Blue Star Ferries and Aegeon Pelagos/Anek among them), cargo vessels and cruise calls, ranking among Greece's busiest ferry ports. For forwarders, the value lies in RoRo and breakbulk traffic supplying the island — foodstuffs, building materials, consumer goods and fuel — alongside heavy seasonal ferry and cruise peaks. Large-scale container liner service is not confirmed; boxes mostly reach Rhodes as feeder or RoRo cargo from the mainland. The hinterland is limited to the island road network, with no rail connection. For intercontinental container and transhipment volumes, Piraeus remains the decisive hub feeding Rhodes.
