BALATON
The
people who live in Siófok and also the tourists who are welcome can be the part
of a vivid and bustle bath life. But Siófok also offers a lot of
recreational programs and massive clubs.
Balatonfüred
looks back on a history of more than two thousand years, as it was inhabited as
early as the Roman era. Famous poets, writers and politicians spent their
summers and found recreation here. Its attractiveness is due to its beautiful
location, the healing power of its carbonated springs, the fine, aromatic wines
grown in the Uplands, and above all, to the hospitality of the people who live
here.
The
town received its name from the combination of 'Balaton' and ‘földvár’, which is
the Hungarian word for a defensive structure made of clay or soil, fortified by
wood. The ‘földvár’ was built in the late Iron Age, during the occupation of the
Celts.
Most of this structure was eventually washed away by the lake.
Keszthely
is one of the most popular settlements of the beach of the Balaton by virtue of
its patinated townscape having good atmosphere, monuments, museums, and hectical
nightlife.
