Greek actress Stefania Goulioti has shared memories from a recent vacation to the Netherlands, highlighting her experience paddleboarding through the canals of Amsterdam before continuing her summer travels to the island of Kefalonia.
Writing on social media, Goulioti expressed her enthusiasm for her journey through the Netherlands, describing the country as an ideal environment and praising its peaceful atmosphere, vibrant scenery, and cycling infrastructure.
Stand-Up Paddleboarding in Amsterdam
During her stay in northern Europe, Goulioti singled out stand-up paddleboarding along Amsterdam's iconic canal system as a standout moment of her trip. Stand-up paddleboarding, commonly known as SUP, is an outdoor water sport where individuals balance on a floating board and propel themselves across water using a paddle.
Amsterdam, the capital of the Netherlands, is world-renowned for its intricate network of 17th-century canals, extensive public parks, and bike-friendly urban design. Goulioti noted that navigating the city's urban waterways on a paddleboard provided her with a unique perspective on the Dutch capital.
Travels Across the Netherlands
In her Instagram post, Goulioti shared her impressions of the country, writing that she felt as though she were still there in spirit even after moving on to another location. She commended the Netherlands for its harmony, quietness, parks, bicycles, and overall aesthetic quality, adding that it felt like an ideal state that respects individual creativity.
The actress emphasized that the Netherlands offers attractions beyond Amsterdam, noting that visitors can undertake fairy-tale excursions across the country, many of which can be explored exclusively by bicycle. She concluded her reflections on her Dutch travels by describing paddleboarding through the canals as a unique experience and telling her online followers to stay tuned for her upcoming journeys.
Summer Getaway to Kefalonia
Following her excursion in the Netherlands, Goulioti shifted her summer retreat to Kefalonia for an island getaway. Kefalonia is the largest of the Ionian Islands located off the western coast of mainland Greece, famous for its dramatic coastline, beaches, and traditional villages.
Posting photos from her island stay, Goulioti jokingly requested that she be left in Kefalonia. Reflecting on her visits to the destination, she noted that fate had brought her to Kefalonia and that she considers herself almost a local.
