Team Building Izmir: Team Building Activities from the Kordon to Çeşme
From the Kemeraltı bazaar to the Kordon, the bay to the coves of Çeşme: team building in Izmir that brings your team together by the sea and in the city.
Our team building programmes in Izmir use the city’s two strengths: a walkable historic centre and a long sea season. Treasure hunts in Kemeraltı and along the Kordon, team rowing in Izmir Bay and Urla–Çeşme, instructor-led sailing and cycling in Çeşme. For companies in the industrial zones and regional offices across the Aegean, we design the programme around your goal and run it on the ground.
Headcount plus a phone number is enough: a tailored quote within 24 hours.

How to plan team building in Izmir
The advantage of team building in Izmir is the length of the season: sea programmes run from spring to mid-autumn, and city-centre programmes work all year. For teams with half a day we recommend the city; for teams with a full day or two, the Urla–Çeşme coast.
The most popular city programme is the Izmir treasure hunt: a 2–3 hour race for teams of 5–8 through the bazaar streets of Kemeraltı and along the Kordon, with an Alaçatı route in summer. Teams who want the sea at the centre of the day choose rowing in the bay and Urla–Çeşme or instructor-led sailing in Çeşme.
For large companies we run beach olympics at the end of summer, and for a longer-lasting bond an inter-company five-a-side league. For a season and route guide, read corporate sports in Izmir and the Aegean; for sport-led programmes, see corporate sports in Izmir.
