There is rapidly growing number of wi-fi spots and wireless networks all around the island. A large number of hotels, in particular those that offer convention facilities, have wi-fi services with internet access. In addition there is a number of subscription based networks offering hotspots mainly in and around the town center. Forthnet (a Greek Carrier) offers wifi access at Starbucks caffes (2 locations in town center) and at the McDonalds. You have to be a Forthnet customer or you need to buy a card in order to use them. A local company, Rodos Wi-Fi, offers the widest network operating in the town. Also SkyFi has a subscription hot spot located at the Hellenic Tours offices.

Recently, the Dodecanese Prefecture published a map of free access wi-fi hotspots at various locations around the town center of Rhodes. For more information you may contact wifi@nad.gr (SSID: www.nad.gr – no password required).
