We've put together a list of
team-building activities for company retreats in
Athens
, including options that work well for both small and large teams.
Winding through Plaka streets, the Acropolis area, and lively districts like Psiri, this Athens retreat agenda combines structured sessions with a hands-on cultural experience and relaxed evenings in historic surroundings.
Athens is a strong choice for teams that want a mix of history, culture, and Mediterranean energy. It offers a vibrant city atmosphere combined with nearby coastal options, creating a well-rounded retreat experience.
Athens International Airport (ATH) is about 30–40 minutes from the city center by taxi or metro. It has direct connections to major European cities and increasing long-haul routes.
April to June and September to October offer the most comfortable weather, with temperatures around 20–30°C. Summer can be hot, while winter is milder and better suited for city-focused retreats.
Syntagma and Plaka are central and convenient, Koukaki offers a more local and relaxed feel, and Kolonaki is more upscale with easy access to restaurants and venues.
Teams often plan guided tours of the Acropolis, cooking classes, food tours, rooftop dinners, and day trips to nearby beaches along the Athens Riviera.
A 3 to 4 day retreat is common. This allows time for work sessions, key activities, and enough space to explore the city.
Athens combines ancient history with a lively, modern culture. The contrast between historic landmarks and a vibrant social scene creates a distinct experience for teams.
In central areas, most locations are walkable or accessible by metro. For activities outside the city center or along the coast, teams usually arrange transport.
Athens is known for its Mediterranean cuisine. Teams can enjoy mezze-style dining, fresh seafood, local wines, and group dinners in rooftop or traditional tavern settings.
Summer heat can be intense, so planning around early mornings and evenings is important. Popular areas can also be busy, so booking in advance helps.
It was amazing. I mean, the team was just absolutely over the top, thrilled. Everything was fantastic.
As we wrap up our first-ever company offsite in Portugal, I feel so grateful for the incredible experience we've shared as a team. This past week has been nothing short of amazing, filled with enriching and productive sessions, workshops, and memorable moments.
It was a massive success, the team loved every part of it and all of the restaurants, activities, transfer, etc. that you organised were excellent. I will certainly be contacting Surf Office again for anything I plan in the future.
We had a great retreat! So far all individual feedback that came back through a survey we sent out to the team, was super positive! Everyone really enjoyed it!
We loved it! Our management had very specific requirements for a retreat location... remote and in nature but with room for interaction. The venue and every aspect of this retreat matched that. We loved it so much that we even consider repeating the venue.
Everyone has commented on how well the retreat went, and we really do appreciate everything that you did to make it go so smoothly.
It was amazing. The whole team enjoyed everything. The hospitality, the area, the apartments, the sea view, the hotel staff, the old town. It was perfect, it was our best offsite.
Everything was amazing. So I have only good things to say. Team loved it. Again, I was very congratulated. They were very happy. Everything was on spot.
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.
The most popular team building activities are surf lessons, SUP lessons and tapas night but there are plenty more to choose from.
