About Balaton?
A must visit destination within Hungary on a summer! The lake water is so clean and blueish that anyone would hesitate to come out of it! It is not deep in the shore area and children will really enjoy this. Go prepared with swimming suits, water balloons or any water games and is the place for it!

There are lot of shops and restaurants as well near by where you can do a shopping if you went unprepared and are cheap.

And oh yes Balaton is so full in summers and particularly when they organize seasonal festivals such as "Sound". All from kids to old will enjoy this destination,

Good Luck!
