Corporate Events & Incentive Travel in Greece

Why companies choose Greece

Greece is one of Europe's most rewarding destinations for corporate groups. Athens has direct flights from across Europe, the Middle East and North America, the weather allows outdoor programmes from April to October, and within an hour of the capital groups can be on a yacht, on an island or at a seafront resort. The combination of history, food, sea and hospitality turns a business trip into something people remember.

Kennedy's Group runs villas, concierge, events and destination management across Greece. For corporate clients this means one partner for the whole programme: accommodation for executives and teams, meeting venues, transfers, activities, gala dinners and on-site staff, all coordinated by a single project lead.

What we organise

Incentive trips

Reward programmes for top performers and their partners: three to five days of hand-picked experiences, from private yacht days in the Cyclades to dinners with a view of the Acropolis. Incentives work when every detail feels personal, and that is where a luxury hospitality team makes the difference.

Leadership retreats and board meetings

Private villas or exclusive-use properties where a leadership team can meet, think and connect away from the office, with meeting rooms set up, facilitators if needed, and downtime planned as carefully as the agenda.

Conferences and meetings

Hotel and venue sourcing in Athens and on the islands, delegate management, audiovisual production, interpreters, and social programmes around the sessions.

Product launches and brand events

Launch parties, press trips and brand activations in iconic Greek settings, from rooftops in Athens to beach venues in Mykonos, with production, styling and guest management.

Destinations for corporate groups

• Athens and the Athens Riviera: the easiest access, a wide choice of hotels and venues, culture in the city and the sea along the Riviera.

• Mykonos: energy, glamour and excellent villas and beach venues for smaller groups and incentive programmes. See our event planner in Mykonos page.

• Paros, Antiparos and the Cyclades: a quieter island setting for retreats and smaller incentives.

• The Peloponnese and Crete: large resorts and golf for bigger groups, with space for conferences.

How we work with you

1. Brief. Objectives, group size, dates, budget and the message the event should carry.

2. Proposal. A programme with venue and accommodation options, a day-by-day schedule and a transparent budget.

3. Site inspection. We host your team in Greece to see the venues before you commit, or present them by video.

4. Delivery. A dedicated project lead and an on-site team run the programme, with daily updates and one number to call.

5. Follow-up. Final reconciliation, photos and feedback, so the next programme is even better.

When to travel

May, June, September and October are the best months for corporate groups: warm weather, calmer islands and better availability and rates than in peak summer. Athens works all year round, and winter programmes can combine city meetings with culture and gastronomy. For groups over fifty people, we recommend starting the planning at least six to nine months ahead.

Destination management in Greece

For agencies and companies that need a local partner for larger or more complex programmes, our DMC Greece service covers supplier contracting, logistics and on-the-ground operations across the country.

A sample four-day incentive programme

Every programme is designed around the group, but this outline shows how a typical incentive in Greece can flow:

1. Day one, Athens. Arrival and private transfers to a seafront hotel on the Athens Riviera. Welcome cocktails at sunset and dinner on a rooftop facing the Acropolis.

2. Day two, the city. An early-morning visit to the Acropolis with a private archaeologist guide, lunch in a traditional taverna, and a free afternoon. Helicopter or private flight to Mykonos in the evening.

3. Day three, the sea. A fleet of yachts sails to the south coast and Delos, with swimming stops and lunch on board. In the evening, a gala dinner at a private villa with live music.

4. Day four, farewell. A relaxed brunch by the pool, time for the beach or shopping in the old town, and transfers to the airport.

The same structure works for leadership retreats with meeting sessions in the mornings, or can be extended with a stop in Paros or Antiparos for a quieter island experience.

Thoughtful, responsible events

We work with local suppliers, chefs and guides wherever we can, plan transfers to reduce unnecessary travel, and avoid single-use plastics at the events we produce. Islands like Mykonos and Paros are small communities, and good events respect the places that host them.
