Marken village

Marken, fishing village of Marken, traditional Dutch village of Marken
Netherlands, Volendam
The traditional Dutch village of Marken is located on a piece of land that was separated from the Dutch mainland after a flood in the 13th century. For many centuries the island was isolated from the rest of Holland.
Tourism is the main source of income for Marken. Here you can look at the pretty houses of the fishing village, explore the collection of the local costume museum and visit the cheese factory.

We traveled to Marken Island by sea on a small ferry from Volendam. There was fog, and it seemed that there was no life further, but only the sea. But the island with the village turned out to be like from a children's designer. Neat streets, well-groomed houses, a sufficient number of channels and very expensive souvenirs. It was cool and we warmed ourselves with hot chocolate on the embankment. I like it. Back we were returning from the parking lot from the supermarket, along the dam. Many bought beer there, because the bus is nearby and there is a large selection.

Everything is so neat and clean, as if walking in the museum, and not in the open air. The houses are residential, but as if they were toys. It is hard to believe that modern Dutch can live here. A picturesque dam leads to the village. You can park either in front of the village in a paid parking lot (you can’t drive into the village), or 200-300 meters earlier on the side of the road. Therefore, approaching the village, when you see cars in the field, feel free to park and stomp on foot. Save 5-10 euros.
