You will then proceed to the small charming fishing villages of Marken and Volendam on the coast of the former Zuiderzee (now called IJselmeer). Decode the secret of making world famous Dutch cheese when you visit a traditional cheese farm.

You can visit the Fish Auction or The Volendam Museum, where the walls are ornate with intricate mosaics. A local artist has glued 11 million Cigarbands to big boards to create giant images of Dutch windmills to Statue of Liberty.
