Herend and Balaton

Program Date: 4th September

Price until 25th August: 80 EUR / person

If you wish, you may choose the Herend porcelain tour with continuation at the „Hungarian Sea”:
After Herend, the group’s next destination is the picturesque village of Tihany which lies on a huge peninsula on the north coast. This is one of the most romantic places in Hungary. The town stands on the peak of a small hill, which provides beautiful views of Lake Balaton and the Inner Lake (Belső-to). Tihany’s most famous landmark is the twin-towered Tihany Benedictine Abbey, built by King Andrew I, who was buried in the crypt in 1055

.

The area around the Abbey is made up of small, fairytale-like streets and squares filled with traditional restaurants, handicraft courtyards, artisan confectioneries and souvenir shops. This day’s lunch is offered in one of Tihany’s delicious restaurants.
If you are lucky, you can also hear the echo of Tihany, the best known phenomenon of the region. The words shouted from the hill are reflected by the Abbey seven times. This effect inspired a number of famous Hungarian poets.
