In the middle of Transdanubia 90 kms from Budapest lies the "Hungarian Sea", the people's name for the 70km long Lake Balaton with green-yellow water suitable for swimming all summer.
Lake Balaton is one of Hungary's most popular interior holiday destinations and most frequented resorts. It is also the largest lake in Central Europe.
All members of the family will find something to do at Lake Balaton whether it's bathing, sailing, horseriding, playing golf or wine tasting. Rich vineyards in the north coast produce an assortment of excellent wines that go very well with the delicious local food. The Southern Coast has sandy and shallow-water beaches, and the water of Northern Coast gets deeper instantaneously.
Despite of that, a huge area of the Northern Coast is located in the Balatonfelvidéki National Park.
Large number of hotels, inns and restaurants welcome guests from home and abroad.
