ABOUT THE FOUNDER

Escapades was founded by me, Sanja Malenic.

I BELIEVE IN DEEP CONNECTIONS OF TRAVELERS WITH LOCALS AND WITH THE ESSENCE AND NATURE OF THE PLACE VISITED.THAT’S WHY I FOUNDED ESCAPADES.

with escapades i’m CREATing THE WAY FOR THIS DEEP CONNECTION TO HAPPEN.

ONCE YOU EXPERIENCE AND UNDERSTAND THE LOCALS AND THEIR PLACE, YOU WOULD LIKE TO SUPPORT IT TO STAY AS AUTHENTIC AS YOU FOUND IT.

I am an independent travel advisor and I specialise in finding unique, local, hands on experiences.

Think of me as a someone who loves to get under the skin of destination, foreigner in Greece that every single day gets in love with magic of this place. But also think of me as the one that will UTILIZE my incredible network of local contacts to craft the most unique, immersive, experiential tours, just for you.

When it comes to seeing the world, my dream is to inspire you to step away from the ordinary, so you can experience the extraordinary.

Escapade for me is about spending time in nature and enjoying simple joys of life: warm conversations with locals, learning local ways through hands on activities like: olives harvesting, preparing and tasting fresh food and a lot of laughing.

our story

We in escapades, are obsessed with creating unique, delightful experiences for adults who are seeking for hands on, local experiences in Greece – without compromising on comfort.

We craft small group travel experiences by infusing our backpacker’s soul with the style of a jetsetter to help  you wind down and get under the skin of destination. In effortless way for you, from easy to reach Athens.

We believe that  participating in daily lives of authentic locals is the best way to experience the best Greece has to offer: warm Greek hospitality!

Our concepts are the result of combining the essence of Greek land and it’s most important element: Greek people.

the best way for you to really grasp it is to travel in small group, so you can join solo or with friends and take the best of greece!

our mission

We desire to make tourism more inclusive. We create an additional income for small farm producers and we support protection of local cultures and traditions.

we want to inspire and give additional reason to next generations for staying in villages and continue farming and doing traditional businesses.

At the same time for our guests we provide meaningful and active holidays options out of summer season in less touristic areas.
