Cheap flights Rhodes to Krakow

July is the cheapest month on this route, which is worth knowing because it lands in the middle of the Greek beach season. Fares appear for most of the year, from September through August, so you have room to move your dates. Midweek departures, Tuesday and Wednesday in particular, tend to be quieter and easier to book late. Weekend flights and the weeks around school holidays on both ends fill up first, so if your dates are fixed, book early rather than wait for a drop.

Low-cost carriers do most of the work here: Wizz Air, Ryanair, Buzz and Easyjet all appear on the route, and they usually charge separately for checked bags and seat choice. Aegean Airlines and Olympic Air, Air Serbia, Austrian and Norwegian International are the full-service names you will see, often connecting through their own hubs rather than flying a straight line. Enter Air also turns up in the mix. Some of these fly direct and some route you through a hub, so read the itinerary before you compare totals, and remember that a cheaper headline fare can cost more once bags are added.

Krakow's Balice airport sits outside the city, and the usual ways in are the airport train, local buses and taxis or ride-hailing apps. The train and the bus drop you near the centre, while a taxi takes you door to door. If you land late, sort your ride before you leave the terminal, because public transport thins out at night. Check your arrival time against your accommodation's check-in window so you are not waiting outside with your bags.
