Cruises may still be associated with older travelers, but the times when older travelers are the only ones enjoying a cruise vacation are long passed. A cruise is an extremely attractive option for anyone seeking to escape from the demands of work and everyday life. Fortunately, cruise lines now offer a variety of programs allowing them to meet the holiday needs of any traveler’s lifestyle and preferences. Cruising is no longer about simply showing off your new wardrobe, playing shuffleboard or socializing in the lounge. These may all be great parts of a cruise vacation, but there is a wide range of activities and amenities perfect for every traveler.

Greece… Islands you say? Party? Cruises? Ancient civilizations?

Sure, you are completely right, and in this article I’ll try to avoid that. There’s a lot more in Greece apart from the coast, even if I have to admit that the cruise options are some of the favorites around the world.

First of all, I would like to make clear that Greece has some myths that are untrue. The first of all them is that Athens is a precious city. Look, I understand that the name sounds very good, at least we Europeans even have the Greek Yogurt (which I still don’t know why it is called like this) and the idea of the ancient civilizations living there sincerely attracts all of us.

Gangtok lives up to its name meaning the ’superior hills’. It sits comfortably nestled in the lap of the high elevations of the lofty peaks of the Kanchenjunga. The latter is the third highest peak of the Himalayas. The Himalayan town of Gangtok gained importance when the former Sikkimese ruler under the British governance translocated the erstwhile capital from Tumlong to Gangtok in 1894. It was retained as the capital even there after as it grew into the largest city of the Indian state of Sikkim on the parallel lines.
