Hotel Greenside lies on the edge of De Koog. Just outside the centre so that peace predominates. Still want to absorb some sun and salty sea air? You can comfortably sit on our terrace. From the hotel it only takes 10 minutes to walk to the sea.
Hotel Greenside is easily accessible by car. From the ferry just follow the signposts to De Koog. In De Koog take the first turn to the right after the Texaco petrol station and there on your left lies the hotel.
At the front of the hotel there are only a few parking spaces, which are exclusively reserved for unloading luggage and checking in. Behind the hotel there is a spacious car park where you can park free of charge during the rest of your stay.
In Den Helder, only fifty miles north of Amsterdam, the double decker ferry sails every hour to Texel. The crossing only takes twenty minutes. It is not necessary (or possible) to reserve a place on the ferry; but you can buy an e-ticket. During busy periods there are two ferries per hour.
From Den Helder station, take bus line 33 to the boat. This bus leaves 12 minutes past every hour and is coordinated exactly with the schedule of the boat. You will be dropped off at the ticket counter for the TESO ferry. You can then board the boat after you buy a round trip ticket. Want to continue with a bus when you reach Texel? Then leave the boat on the right-hand side. Travelers for Den Burg and De Koog can take bus line 28. If you have another destination, then you can take a Texelhopper mini-bus. These buses have to be reserved in advance (www.texelhopper.nl).
Attention: The OV-chip card is not valid on Texel. In order to cross over with the ferry, you have to buy a separate ticket at the TESO ferry ticket counter in Den Helder.
De Koog is a seaside resort of the best. Only one row of dunes sheds the village from the beach. The sea can always be heard in the background. All year round the Dorpsstraat has a lovely holiday feeling. During the day you can shop; in the evening you can enjoy a drink on the terrace.
