We have enjoyed a really relaxing 3 days in the very charming village of Tihany which is apparently the poshest place within the Balton environs - god knows what we were doing there!
The Peninsula consists of a small village, Tihany, surrounded by forested hills and vineyards producing some lovely rose and white wines which require alot of tasting and analysis.
Tihany is very much still a village that enjoyed the support and patronage of some of the Communist moguls during the previous regimes with large villas overlooking the lake which is the most incredible turquoise blue colour - partly due to the fact that it does to appear to reach any depth for 100s of metres so reflecting the sun from not much depth.
Unusually for other parts of the country we have visited (admittedly not massive amounts) there are a large number of thatched cottages and barns - giving the region a slightly Germanic feel - not surprising given the fact that this region was re-populated by Greman settlers from the Palatinate during the 18th Century
