22 km from Amsterdam. This former fishing port, which now lives solely on tourism, has every possible image in the book: costumed locals in summer; clogs, earthenware, pewter and other pseudo-authentic knick-knacks for sale on every street corner. It's a bit of a tourist trap, but the village and little port are charming. The closure of the Zuiderzee put an end to fishing. Of course, there are still a few eel fishermen, and when they return in the late morning, the harbor comes alive with a fleeting life, as the cries of the tide are heard again for a few moments.
