Hungary's favorite summertime retreat!
Lake Balaton is central
Europe's largest lake offering 120 miles of shoreline, silky green
water and a host of activities for young and old.

Primarily a summer destination Balaton is an easy one hour drive from Budapest. With such a vast shoreline Balaton offers something for everyone with natural reserves and wetlands, a wine region, sailing, thermal baths, musical performances, a variety of sport activities and of course its famous shallow, silky warm waters to relax in. JayWay recommends guests stay in Siofok which is a charming little town on the south coast and maybe the most popular holiday resort in Hungary. Siofok acts as an ideal base to explore the lake region as it has a variety of restaurants and entertainment options.
"We had a wonderful experience and JayWay's suggestions were invaluable. Unlike most tours which can be overbearing, using JayWay was a perfect balance between exploring on our own and getting the suggestions we needed." |
