--- title: Kervan — Company retreats and leadership summits in Türkiye url: https://kervanretreat.com/ description: Company retreats, team offsites and leadership summits in Türkiye for international companies. Bodrum, the Turquoise Coast, Antalya and İstanbul. updated: 2026-11-13 --- # Türkiye, handled. We plan and run company retreats, team offsites and leadership summits across Türkiye — for companies that have never organised anything here, and would rather not start now. [Start a retreat](https://kervanretreat.com/contact) [See the four grounds](#grounds) You approve the plan. We contract the property, build the programme and run the week on the ground. [BodrumPremium](https://kervanretreat.com/grounds/bodrum) [Turquoise CoastAegean & Med](https://kervanretreat.com/grounds/turquoise-coast) [AntalyaScale](https://kervanretreat.com/grounds/antalya) [İstanbulCity](https://kervanretreat.com/grounds/istanbul) ### [Company retreats](https://kervanretreat.com/company-retreats-turkey) The whole company in one place for three to six days. Twenty to three hundred people, with the logistics that implies. ### [Team offsites](https://kervanretreat.com/team-offsites-turkey) One team, one problem, one week. Small enough that the property and the room matter more than the airport. ### [Leadership summits](https://kervanretreat.com/leadership-summits-turkey) Boards, exec teams and President’s Club. Fifteen to forty people who notice everything. ## Four grounds, one standard Türkiye is not one destination — two seas, four very different weeks. Pick the ground that fits the week you need, and we will tell you honestly if it is the wrong one. ### [Bodrum](https://kervanretreat.com/grounds/bodrum) The Aegean peninsula: Yalıkavak, Türkbükü, Gümüşlük. Design hotels, private villas and a marina that your exec team will recognise as serious. The ground for the week that has to feel considered. Best for : Leadership summits Group size : 15–60 Airport : BJV Season : May, Jun, Sep, Oct ### [Turquoise Coast](https://kervanretreat.com/grounds/turquoise-coast) Pine forest, limestone and clear water — from the İzmir coast, through the Gulf of Gökova on the Aegean, down through Datça, Göcek and Fethiye, to Kalkan and Kaş on the Mediterranean. Small properties, private bays, and the option of [a gulet or motoryacht](https://kervanretreat.com/grounds/turquoise-coast#gulet): a chartered boat your team sleeps and works on while it moves along the coast. Best for : Nature-led offsites Group size : 12–80 Airports : DLM, BJV, ADB Season : Apr–Jun, Sep–Oct ### [Antalya](https://kervanretreat.com/grounds/antalya) All-inclusive, at scale. Resorts large enough to take your whole company and equipped with real conference infrastructure — one price per person covering rooms, meeting space, every meal and the bar, with no expense claims to reconcile afterwards. Direct flights from most of Europe. The finance team’s favourite ground. Best for : Whole-company retreats Group size : 40–300 Airport : AYT Season : Mar–May, Sep–Nov ### [İstanbul](https://kervanretreat.com/grounds/istanbul) The historic centre: Sultanahmet and the Golden Horn, with Galata across the water. Restored hans and Ottoman buildings that now work as meeting space — a board session in a sixteenth-century courtyard, dinner on the Bosphorus, a walk through the bazaar in between. Also the arrival point for teams flying in from outside Europe. Best for : Client-facing events Group size : 10–200 Airport : IST / SAW Season : All year ## Why companies bring their teams here Not because it is exotic. Because the arithmetic works and the flights are short. Below the European line The industry benchmark for a multi-day European offsite runs roughly €3,000–5,500 per person. At the same property standard, Türkiye lands under it — and we show you every line so you can check that claim yourself. Three hours, direct Antalya, Bodrum, Dalaman and İstanbul take direct flights from most of Europe. A distributed team converges in a single travel day instead of two. The shoulder you actually want April, May, September and October — when Barcelona and Lisbon raise their rates and run out of rooms, the Turkish coast is open, warm and negotiable. No visa for most of your team EU, UK and a long list of other passports enter visa-free. We check every passport on your roster before you announce the destination, not after. ## What we have already run Kervan is a new name on an operation that is not new. Most of it is larger and more complicated than a company retreat, which is rather the point. Closed-group summit ### JCI Autumn Summit, 2025 and 2026 Kemer · Two nights · Around 200 people, twice The same summit in two different hotels on two different room structures, and booked again after the first. Congress and trade expo ### KBUD Congress & LAB Expo Fethiye and Antalya · Annual since 2017 Five hundred rooms on peak nights, 41 exhibition stands and three satellite symposia, held together as one system. [The full track record, with numbers](https://kervanretreat.com/work) ## How we work Four steps. You are involved in two of them. 01 : Brief 02 : Shortlist 03 : Contract 04 : On the ground One contract, in euro, deposited the day you confirm. [How a retreat runs, step by step](https://kervanretreat.com/how-we-work) ## Questions people ask first Will the wifi hold for a hundred people on video calls? It is the first thing we test and the most common reason we reject a property. We run a bandwidth test on site, under load, and we confirm in writing that the tools your team actually uses are reachable. Where a property cannot guarantee it, we specify a dedicated line and a backup connection as part of the contract. How far ahead do we need to book? Four to six months for the shoulder season, which is when you want to come. Peak summer and anything over a hundred people, nine months. We can turn around a small offsite in six weeks if the dates are flexible, but you will pay for the flexibility. What happens if something goes wrong during the week? We are on site, not on the phone. The on-ground team handles it and tells you what was done afterwards. The things that actually go wrong — a delayed flight, a room that is not right, weather moving a dinner — are the ones we have contingencies written for before you arrive. Can you work with our procurement and travel policy? Yes. We invoice as a Turkish travel agency registered with TÜRSAB, the Association of Turkish Travel Agencies, supply supplier insurance certificates and risk assessments, and will complete your vendor onboarding before the shortlist if that speeds things up. Send us the policy and we will tell you where Türkiye needs a note. Do you only do the coast? No, but we are honest about where we are good. Cappadocia, the Aegean islands and the Black Sea coast all work for the right brief, and we will say so if one of them fits better than the [four grounds](https://kervanretreat.com/grounds) above. Who is actually running our week? The person you speak to on the first call is on site for the week. We do not hand accounts to a delivery team you have never met. ## Tell us what the week has to do Rough dates and a headcount are enough to start. We reply within one working day, in English, with a real answer rather than a brochure. [Start a retreat](https://kervanretreat.com/contact)
