Lake Balaton
Lake Balaton, Central Europe's biggest lake is Hungary's favorite resort area and it is only 60 miles from Budapest. Balaton is surrounded by a little world of varied beauty comprising fertile plains, abrupt hills, orchards, vineyards, and villages with historic churches and whitewashed thatched cottages.
 |
Indulge in rejuvenation! Relax or sail across the calm waters of the lake or take a tranquil cruise. Children can splash away in the shallow, silky water or enjoy a range of watersport activities. You can taste some fragrant wines of the region and enjoy tasty dishes that are renowned throughout Europe, whilst experiencing the friendly, local hospitality. Tihany lies on a peninsula extending into the northern side of Lake Balaton. It is actually a nature reserve with lots of great walks and hikes (including bird-watching possibilities), and the ferry terminal is about a mile further down. |

We can visit the ancient abbey (founded in 1011) and the almost 1000 year old tomb of King Andrew I. The old streets of Tihany are lined with thatch-roof cottages in traditional style. In the family type local restaurants, authentic specialties are served. Other small towns along that are worth to visit: Balatonfüred, Keszthely, Badacsony, Siófok etc. |
