💛 Wall of love 💛

The SurfOffice team helped me organise a great offsite abroad for my distributed team of 16 and the experience was seamless. Their clear communication made planning easy, and they thought of everything we might need. They have a great selection of hotels and experiences, helping us stay within budget without compromising on quality. What especially stood out was their real-time availability during the event, which helped us quickly solve a few last-minute issues.

Laura
Community & Events Manager

We recently worked with Surf Office to organize a company retreat in Lisbon, and the experience was nothing short of exceptional. From the very beginning, Simon was incredibly patient and supportive, helping us navigate multiple destination changes until we finally landed on Lisbon. His calm demeanor and willingness to ensure we found the perfect location made the planning process much smoother. Once we signed the contracts, Cristi took over and was an absolute star. Her patience, clear communication, and flexibility made all the difference. She understood our brief, even in its most creative form, and worked tirelessly to bring it to life. Cristi kept us on budget, coordinated seamlessly with the right production team, and managed everything through an intuitive dashboard on Coda. She was always a step ahead, anticipating our needs before we even voiced them. On the ground, Fernanda was a force to be reckoned with! She ensured that venues delivered on time and to the highest standards, making sure every detail was executed flawlessly. What truly set Surf Office apart was their ability to make us feel like a collective team rather than just another client. They handled sensitive information with discretion, tackled challenges with calm professionalism, and ultimately delivered an unforgettable retreat. We would work with Surf Office again in a heartbeat and highly recommend them to anyone looking to plan a seamless, well-executed offsite.

From the very first contact to the last goodbye, Surf Office was an incredible company to work with for our company retreat in Portugal. The customer service was top tier and every single person I interacted with was absolutely lovely, professional and so helpful.

Tracy
Head of Human Resources

We recently had our company retreat in Spain which was organized together with Surf Office and the experience exceptional. From the initial planning stages to the final details, the Surf Office team was professional, attentive, and incredibly helpful. They provided tailored recommendations for a venue and their local expertise and network made the entire process smooth and stress-free. The seamless coordination of accommodation, transportation, and activities allowed us to focus on creating meaningful connections within our team without worrying about logistics. The retreat itself was a huge success, and a big part of that was thanks to Surf Office's ability to anticipate our needs and adapt to last-minute changes. I would like to give a special shoutout to Romane who is an organization wizard and made sure everything works out as planned, Fernanda who was our on-site support and did an exceptional job even for the very short-term requests. If you're looking for a reliable partner to help organize your next retreat, I highly recommend Surf Office. Their expertise, attention to detail, and dedication to creating memorable experiences are unmatched. Thank you!

We have organized company retreats for our distributed 30 people team multiple times with Surf Office and the team has loved it every time. Surf Office has some great venues as part of their portfolio and do a great job helping to facilitate pretty much everything from accommodation, food, activities, airport transfers etc.

Kaylie
Director of People

Candela over at Surf helped us to organise our first ever team retreat in Portugal for 30 odd people (which included +1s and small children.) It honestly couldn't have been more perfect. Every detail was seen to and we felt completely supported. Our team came away from that trip feeling like a proper little family. Such wonderful memories. We honestly could never have done this without Surf and would recommend to anyone.

Gemma
Studio manager

Surf Office made planning our 20 person offsite a breeze! They found the perfect location for us, advised on places we weren't originally considering, and the organization/logistics were very smooth. As a small people team, having this extra help makes a world of a difference. Our team had a great time!

Leila
Head of People

We had a fantastic experience partnering with Surf Office for our 3-day company retreat in Costa Brava. From the early planning stages to the end of the event, everything ran smoothly and professionally. We first worked with Anthony, our Company Retreat Consultant, who helped us choose the right package. He was responsive, approachable, and clearly experienced—making it easy to select the hotel, which suited our needs perfectly. From there, we were supported by Romane, our dedicated Retreat Manager. She was absolutely great—well-organized, proactive, and always ready with thoughtful recommendations and local insights. Whether it was fine-tuning the schedule, adjusting logistics, or booking group activities like kayaking and hiking, she made sure every detail was handled. The mix of work sessions, team-building, and social time was just right. The hotel was comfortable, the activities were fun and well-coordinated, and the team dinners and beach events added a special touch. Everyone had a great time and felt the experience helped strengthen our team dynamics. Surf Office made it easy to plan and execute a retreat for 65 people without stress. We’d absolutely recommend them to any team looking to run an effective and memorable offsite—and we’ll definitely be working with them again.

FAQs about company retreats in

Greece

Why do companies choose Greece for team offsites?

Many international teams choose Greece because it offers a balance between relaxation and social experiences. In our experience hosting teams here, destinations like Athens, Crete, Paros, and Mykonos work especially well for remote teams wanting stronger personal connections outside daily work routines.

What are the best destinations in Greece for a corporate retreat?

The best location depends on the retreat style your team wants:

  • Athens for culture, nightlife, and easy international access
  • Crete for larger retreats with beaches and outdoor activities
  • Paros for relaxed island offsites
  • Mykonos for premium company retreats and social energy
  • Santorini for scenic leadership retreats
  • Thessaloniki for food-focused and affordable team gatherings

How easy is it to travel to Greece for an international retreat?

Most international teams arrive through Athens International Airport (ATH), which connects with major European and Middle Eastern cities. Islands like Crete, Santorini, and Mykonos also have seasonal direct flights during spring and summer, while ferries connect many islands within 2–5 hours.

What is the best time of year for a company retreat in Greece?

May to June and September to early October are usually the best months for a Greece retreat. Temperatures are typically between 22–30°C, the sea is warm enough for activities, and popular destinations are less crowded than peak summer.

Is Greece good for beachside corporate retreats?

Yes, Greece is one of the best European destinations for beach-focused company retreats. Teams can organize sailing trips, seaside dinners, paddleboarding, snorkeling, or catamaran experiences while still having access to hotels and meeting venues nearby.

What team-building activities can companies organize in Greece?

Popular team-building activities in Greece include:

How long should a company retreat in Greece last?

Most teams plan a Greece offsite for 4 to 6 days. Travel between islands can take additional time, so slightly longer retreats usually work better than short weekend schedules.

Is Greece expensive for a corporate retreat?

Costs depend heavily on the destination and season. Athens and Crete are generally more affordable for company retreats, while Mykonos and Santorini can become expensive during July and August. Traveling in May, June, or September usually offers better pricing and availability.

What food experiences can teams expect during a retreat in Greece?

Greek food is often one of the highlights of a company retreat. Teams typically enjoy seafood dinners, mezze sharing plates, local wines, rooftop dining in Athens, and traditional tavernas with live music near the coast.

How does Greece compare with Spain or Portugal for a company retreat?

Greece is usually a better fit for teams looking for island experiences, sailing activities, and a slower Mediterranean atmosphere. Spain tends to offer more large-city energy and nightlife, while Portugal is often preferred for surf-focused retreats and compact travel logistics. For companies prioritizing beaches, boat experiences, and scenic island settings, Greece stands out as one of the strongest options in Southern Europe.
