Why Travelers Love This
Lake Balaton is the essence of Hungarian rural beauty. Hungary's version of Provance or Tuscany. You will enjoy stunning views, the most beautiful village in the country with century-old whitewashed houses. The driving time is about 90 minutes. Then we use the ferry to cross the lake (together with the car), where you can already enjoy the beautiful view of the Lake. The ferry takes us to the nicest part of the lake, a quaint village with the best views.

The pearl of the Balaton is the Tihanyi Peninsula. Thanks to the special attributes of its landscape, its geological idiosyncrasies, its diverse flora and fauna, it was the first nature protection area of the country. On one of its hills a church and a monastery were founded as early as a 1000 years ago. In Tihany you will walk around this charming and famous little town on the peninsula with the same name. Walk the streets of the most beautiful village in Hungary. You can also try the famous lavender products of the region, such as lavender beer, lemonade, ice cream.... It is hard to describe this serene, quaint village.
