Introducing Ameland
If the Frisian Islands were given personalities, Ameland would be the person sitting on the fence. Its four peaceful villages – Buren, Nes, Ballum and Hollum – are less developed than those on Terschelling and Texel, but they provide enough social structure for the majority of tourists. Its large swaths of untouched natural splendour offer places to escape the crowds, but Mother Nature doesn’t rule the roost as on Schiermonnikoog or Vlieland.

All in all, Ameland is an island for those looking for a nice balance.
