DAY 9- 10 VOLENDAM AND MARKEN
Our next stop is Edam, a town renowned for its famous round cheeses. Edam is also one of the most important port towns in the north of Holland. Leaving this area behind, we will head for Volendam, where you will have approximately one and a half hours of free time. On the way, we will pass through the polders, the name of the land that has been reclaimed from the sea, and for which the official name of Holland is “The Netherlands”.

Volendam is one of the most beautiful fishing villages in the area due to its colorful houses, narrow streets and beautiful harbor, which we will discover!
After a stroll through the streets, we will drive to Marken, a beautiful peninsula in the waters of the IJsselmeer lake. Once there, we will take a guided tour of approximately one hour through its picturesque streets and squares, where you will be amazed by its unusual architecture!
