The project concerns the complete renovation, expansion, and modernization of the existing Helios Hotel, as well as its upgrade to a 4-star hotel. The hotel is located on the beach of Amoopi, in the Community of Menetes, Municipality of Karpathos, on a plot of 11,617.37 sq.m., and has a total capacity of 55 rooms and 126 beds.

The aim of the project is for the hotel, upon completion of the renovation, to operate as a modern 4-star hotel unit that meets all the legal requirements, follows the most up-to-date operational standards based on HACCP, ISO 9001, and ISO 22000, is accessible and friendly to guests with disabilities (PWDs), and above all, is environmentally friendly.

The complex consists of seven (7) buildings with a total area of 2,724 sq.m. The renovation includes both the rooms and the common areas, the upgrade of the building envelope, as well as the landscaping of the surrounding outdoor areas.

The exterior configuration of the buildings generally follows the existing massing of the complex in terms of the segmentation of the individual volumes. The architectural style is minimalist, with clean volumes and an alternation of closed, open, and semi-outdoor spaces. The rooms feature large openings to ensure natural lighting and improved views of the gardens and the sea.

The materials used are modern and environmentally friendly and include stone cladding on the verandas, plaster coating in gray tones, glass railings made of safety glazing, aluminum frames in gray tones, wooden partition screens, and wooden pergolas covered with woven willow panels to provide sun protection for both exterior and interior spaces.

The design of the fully renovated outdoor area includes the entrance and exit of the complex with provision for temporary bus parking for guest drop-off and pick-up, 55 parking spaces, walkways for easy access to all buildings and the beach, and landscaped areas with tall and low greenery. It also includes three (3) swimming pools — one for adults, one for children, and one shared among seven (7) private beach beds, along with a pool bar and a beach bar for the convenience of the customers.
