Santorini, Greece

As a child, I remember daydreaming about places I would see in magazines or on TV. I wondered what the Divi Divi trees look like up close in Aruba or if the Eiffel Tower really does look as magical in person when it twinkles at night (it truly sparkles!). I never had the opportunity to travel much growing up until I met my husband who also shares the same passion for travel.

Together we have explored many amazing cities and gorgeous beaches in several countries. We have been fortunate enough to also take our children to incredible places and hopefully pass along to them the same travel bug as well. There are so many beautiful places to see in this world and so much to learn from those travels. We are always thinking about our next destination.

My passion for discovery is what led to the creation of Great Escapes Travel. I'm so excited to help curate incredible, lasting memories for other couples and families to look back on for years to come.

Some of my favorite travel destinations are Greece, Italy, Malta, Spain and Mexico. I've gone back many times and I always discover a new reason why I love it there!

Just the right place and location
Reviewed By JoshA - Chester, NJ | Traveled to Costa Rica ~ Central America
Denise is just excellent. She somehow figured out just the right place for us in just the right area for just the right price, and she navigated us expertly through all the twists and turns of a pandemic! She is so incredibly attentive and thorough, she never left our side for a moment, despite the myriad details to tackle and hoops to jump through. Our trip was fantastic, and all a result of Denise's experience and expertise. I would recommend Denise without reservation, and I will do so whenever I get the chance.
Denise Galea responded
"Thank you so much for the kind words, Josh! I am so glad that the two of you had such a great time in the Costa Rica and I would be happy to assist you both in the future!"
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Santorini Wine Tours

Wineries in Santorini

While we were in Santorini, we visited two wineries. One was a large, new and modern winery while the other was small, rustic yet charming. Each had their own qualities that made them memorable. The large, modern winery had a large open tasting room and they served their wines with a delicious meat cheese plate pairing as well as a plate of vari...

Malta's magnificent blue grotto

Boat tour to see the Blue Grotto

The Blue Grotto in Malta is a complex of 7 caves, one main arc and 6 caves and only accessible via boat ride. We took a small boat tour that left the tiny cliffside inlet village of Zurrieq. The blue water is stunningly beautiful and you can even see the fish swimming past your boat, it's that clear. The Blue Grotto is a must-see for visitors!  ...

Marsaxlokk Sunday Market

My father-in-law was born in Malta so we took the kids twice to visit Malta and tour around. One of the things we enjoyed was the Sunday market in Marsaxlokk. Marsaxlokk is a small fishing village along the harbor. It's a beautiful place to walk to to view the Mediterranean Sea and all the small fishing boats anchored along the harbor. The open-...

The best way to get around Santorini

ATV rental in Santorini

If you ask our kids what their favorite thing about our family trip to Santorini was, their answers would definitely be renting the ATVs and driving around the island. We took it everywhere and there were many other ATVs on the road as well. The roads in Santorini are either dirt/gravel roads or are the beautiful windy, cobblestone roads you see...
