Tihany
The place with the greatest historical significance on Lake Balaton is Tihany, a peninsula jutting 5km into the lake. Tihany village, perched on an 80m-high plateau along the peninsula’s eastern coast, is home to the celebrated Abbey Church, and in the height of summer the church attracts so many people it’s hard to find space to breathe. Visit the church, but then escape the madness by wandering around the tiny town that's filled with lovely thatched-roof houses.
