Go to the beach and have fun at the Water
The Keszthely Bay offers us many possibilities for water recreation. We can choose from the beaches of Lake Balaton according to our taste and admire the historic Island Bath. We can go on a boat trip from the Pier, but of course we can also find the opportunity to sail in the marina. We can choose from many water sports and try the water playground as well.

Did you know?
An interesting fact#nepviseletes-babamuzeumThe museum launched a competition with the help of the children's magazine Napsugár from Cluj, in which they asked schoolchildren and their parents to send in the traditional clothing of their locality. Some opinions say that this happened at the last minute, as folk traditions are beginning to fade in Transylvania. Similarly, traditional clothing arrived from Upper Hungary, Southern Hungary, and Transcarpathia.
Our favorite#festetics-kastely-helikon-kastelymuzeumThe outstanding attraction of the castle is the oak staircase, where we can see a family portrait gallery unique to Hungary, depicting members of the Festetics family.
An interesting fact#keszthelyi-templomokAt the consecration of the church, the famous writer of the age, Zsigmond Móricz, paid his respects.
An interesting fact#amazon-haz-latogatokozpontOn the wall of the Amazon House is a plaque indicates that in 1798 the Hungarian poet Mihály Vitéz Csokonai stayed here, and István Simon commemorated the occasion in his poem "Csokonai in the Inn" with these words:
"I imagine that Vitéz was also here,
I golden letters kake me remember.
The ceiling, the beam, even the lime,
And the pipe, as he saw it, still smokes."
Hint#helikon-park-es-helikon-emlekmuHave you ever been to the Helikon Park? On the park grounds a dog run and agility course was created, which can be visited free of charge every day of the week from 0 to 24 hours.
