Hotels have 10 to 40 rooms, so a group can take over one or two properties and walk to dinner in the old streets. The peninsula has a steady north wind in summer, which keeps evenings cool and makes Alaçatı bay one of the best places in Europe to learn windsurfing. On the other side, the beaches of Ilıca and the coves near Ildırı have calm, shallow water. July and August are busy and expensive, and many hotels ask for minimum stays. We plan most group programmes in May, June, September and early October. ## Areas we work in Alaçatı for stone-house boutique hotels and restaurants; Çeşme town for the marina and the castle; Ilıca for larger hotels with thermal pools; Ildırı for quiet villas and the ruins of Erythrai. ## Featured venues - [Alaçatı Stone Courtyard Hotel](https://www.bravodays.com/en/venues/alacati-stone-courtyard-hotel): A row of restored stone houses around a pool courtyard, on a quiet street two minutes from the centre of Alaçatı. - [Ildırı Bay Private Villa](https://www.bravodays.com/en/venues/ildiri-bay-private-villa): An eight-bedroom villa on the water near Ildırı, with a private jetty, chef and a terrace for 40. - [Alaçatı Stone House Boutique Hotel](https://www.bravodays.com/en/venues/alacati-stone-house-boutique-hotel): Eighteen rooms in restored stone houses around a pool garden, steps from the cobbled streets of old Alaçatı, for small leadership groups. - [Çeşme Beach Club Resort](https://www.bravodays.com/en/venues/cesme-beach-club-resort): A large beachfront resort on Ilıca Bay with its own sandy beach, a ballroom for 800 and a beach deck for gala dinners. - [Dalyan Marina Design Hotel](https://www.bravodays.com/en/venues/dalyan-marina-design-hotel): A contemporary design hotel on the quiet Dalyan fishing harbour north of Çeşme, with a rooftop terrace, a marina hall and 64 rooms. - [Alaçatı Bay Windsurf Beach Club](https://www.bravodays.com/en/venues/alacati-bay-windsurf-beach-club): A beach club on Alaçatı's windsurf bay, available for exclusive daytime and evening events with a beach terrace for 600 guests. ## Things to do - [Aegean olive harvest day](https://www.bravodays.com/en/experiences/aegean-olive-harvest-day): Pick olives by hand in a family grove near Urla, follow them to the mill for cold pressing and taste the new oil over a long lunch. - [Team alignment workshop: goals, roles and ways of working](https://www.bravodays.com/en/experiences/team-alignment-workshop-goals-roles): A facilitated day to agree three to five team goals, map who owns what and write a short team charter, followed by a review after 60 days. - [Two-morning kitesurf clinic in Alaçatı](https://www.bravodays.com/en/experiences/alacati-kitesurf-clinic): A small-group kitesurf clinic over two mornings on Alaçatı bay, from kite control on the beach to the first rides on the water. - [Ilıca thermal beach morning](https://www.bravodays.com/en/experiences/ilica-thermal-beach-morning): A slow morning on Ilıca's shallow sandy beach, where thermal springs warm parts of the sea, with beach yoga and a breakfast by the water. - [Stand-up paddle at sunset in Çeşme](https://www.bravodays.com/en/experiences/sup-sunset-paddle-cesme): A relaxed stand-up paddle session on a calm Çeşme bay at golden hour, with instructors, a short lesson and drinks on the beach. - [Germiyan village and mastic walk](https://www.bravodays.com/en/experiences/germiyan-village-and-mastic-walk): A walk through Germiyan, a stone village inland from Çeşme, with a stop at a mastic grove, local cooks and a village lunch. - [Open-air cinema night](https://www.bravodays.com/en/experiences/open-air-cinema-night): A large screen on a beach, lawn or rooftop, with deck chairs, blankets, wireless headphones and a street-food dinner before the film. - [Beach clean-up with a marine conservation group](https://www.bravodays.com/en/experiences/beach-clean-up-with-a-marine-conservation-group): Teams clean a stretch of coastline alongside a local marine conservation group, sort and record what they find, and hear how the data is used. ## Sample itinerary - **Day 1 Arrival and village dinner** Transfer from ADB, check-in at a stone-house hotel in Alaçatı, walk through the old streets to a long-table dinner. - **Day 2 Morning sessions, afternoon on the water** Working sessions in the hotel courtyard, then a windsurf or sailing lesson in Alaçatı bay and sunset drinks in Çeşme marina. - **Day 3 Ildırı and departure** Short walk to Erythrai, lunch by the sea in Ildırı, transfer back to İzmir. ## Questions ### Can Alaçatı host a group larger than 100? Yes, by combining two or three neighbouring boutique hotels and holding plenary sessions in one of them or in a larger hotel in Ilıca. Above 150 people we usually recommend a resort on the peninsula as the main base. ### Is the wind a problem for outdoor events? On some summer afternoons it can be strong. We choose sheltered courtyards for dinners, avoid loose decoration and keep an indoor option on hold for every outdoor session. ## Related pages - [All locations](https://www.bravodays.com/en/locations) - [Get a quote](https://www.bravodays.com/en/get-a-quote?destination=3)
