Marken is a small island community in the Ijsselmeer. It is easy to reach from Amsterdam (via Volendam) and is a nice daytrip if you want to see a traditional Dutch fisher village. If you visit as a daytrip from Amsterdam you will feel you are in a different world and century.

Marken is most noticeable for its green painted houses on the Dyke, its religious fanatism, its strong football team and its expensive tourist shops.

If you are making a sailing trip on the IJsselmeer, marken is definately worth a stop.
