The summer crowds are arriving in Rhodes once again.

More than 1 million passengers passed through the island’s Diagoras airport in June, as one of Greece’s most established holiday destinations continued to draw visitors from across Europe during the height of the travel season.

Passenger traffic reached 1,093,044 for the month, up 3.6% from June last year, according to figures published by Fraport Greece, which operates the country’s regional airports.

International travel accounted for almost all of that growth. More than 1 million passengers traveled on overseas routes during the month, a 4% increase compared with June 2025, while domestic traffic was broadly unchanged, slipping by 0.7% to 85,477 passengers.

The numbers offer another reminder of Rhodes’ enduring place on Europe’s summer map.

British travelers once again arrived in greater numbers than any other nationality, with 281,159 passengers traveling between the island and the United Kingdom during June alone.

Germany remained the second-largest market with 159,791 passengers, followed by Poland with 92,864. Italy and Israel contributed more than 50,000 passengers each, while Sweden, the Czech Republic, Finland and Norway all maintained a strong presence in the island’s summer traffic.

Alongside its traditional visitors from Britain and Germany, the island continued to attract travelers from the Netherlands, Denmark, Austria, Belgium and France, underlining the wide geographic reach of the tourism flows that now sustain one of Greece’s busiest island destinations.

Part of the Dodecanese island complex in the southeastern Aegean, Rhodes has long occupied a distinctive place in Greece’s tourism industry, combining large-scale resort tourism with one of the Mediterranean’s best-preserved medieval towns.
