Villages

Rixt van Doniastraat, Nes, Ameland

If you walk through the quintessential cobbled streets of Hollum, Ballum, Nes and Buren, you will see houses that were once owned by sea captains. Many are now designated monuments and are reminiscent of the whaling industry of the past. The history of the island goes back hundreds of years. This gave Ameland its unique character. The many monumental buildings show the personality of the villages. You not hard to absorb the historical atmosphere, both literally and figuratively, as Ameland is an excellent dining experience. The many restaurants and bars would love to treat you to a freshly caught fish and various other unique island specialties.
