We are a start-up taking a fresh approach to modern hospitality. As a “virtual hotel,” we offer the services of a traditional hotel, our “rooms” just happen to be scattered across town. Heloni is an ancient Greek word which translates into tortoise; Our philosophy stems from the animals’ ability to feel comfortable on every journey. Safe and secure in its shell, a tortoise can enjoy the extraordinary joy of newness without worry. With the same reasoning, we create apartments that feel familiar and take care of everything, so that our guests can focus on what truly matters – the joy of the journey. Heloni apartments are designed with the global citizen in mind; our hospitality vision brings together creativity, utmost comfort and customized services. Tucked away in central neighbourhoods, our apartments offer you the opportunity to indulge local culture to the maximum. We want our guests to be autonomous, independent travelers, but also have premium services at their fingertips. Our company can issue an invoice instead of a receipt, but kindly note that you should notify us at least one day prior to check-in.

Plaka is the oldest neighbourhood in Athens. At the foot of the Acropolis, it is a favorite for locals and tourists alike! Even though Plaka is a commercial center, filled with jewellery stores, souvenir shops and cafes, it still gives off the feel of a village from a different era. Literally in the heart of Athens, you are surrounded by Syntagma, the National Gardens, Monastiraki, Thissio and Psyri - all which give you a feeling of modernity as well as nostalgia. New and old, pale and colourful, charming and uninviting are few of the contradictions that make Athens such a vibrant city. Just round the corner (5-10min walk) make sure you visit the Acropolis, Monastiraki flea market, Thissio cafes, Hadrian's Arch, Frissiras Museum, National Gardens, Museums of Cycladic Art in Kolonaki, Parliament building in Syntagma, Psyri or Gazi for some night life, Filopappou Hill or Lycabettus Hill for romantic photos or breathtaking sunsets. Easy access to the Acropolis metro (5 min) and major bus routes means you are always minutes away from exploring a new side of Athens.
