Question

Island sounding like marken near amsterdam?

Answer 1

There is a former island called Marken in the Netherlands, rather close to Amsterdam indeed. Now it is connected by a causeway, but still mostly an independent island.

Here is a link to a wikipedia page:

If you use google you will find many more links, either to photos or to tourist sites, but a few official sites may exist too.
