The historic fishing villages of Volendam, Marken and Edam are best-known for their characteristic wooden houses, water sports, traditional costumes and fresh fish.
Tucked away on the coast of the former Zuiderzee (a North Sea inlet), now the IJsselmeer (Lake IJssel), these villages have preserved their character for many centuries.
The quaint houses, winding canals and drawbridges create a truly romantic winsome atmosphere.
