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#keszthelyi-gasztronomiaKeszthely is closely connected to the world-famous Spicy of Cserszeg and its creator, Dr. Károly Bakonyi, whose whole life was determined by his love for grapes. The Spicy of Cserszeg wine was created in 1960 by crossing the grape Irsai Oliver and the pink Tramini grape varieties - in England it was even chosen as the year's best white wine among 7400 varieties - but in addition to this, 15 state-recognized varieties are linked to the work of grape breeding by Dr. Károly Bakonyi. For 47 years he shared his knowledge at the university of Keszthely.
Our favorite#festetics-kastely-tortenelmi-modellvasut-kiallitasThe 'Night Lights' spectacle is unique in the world, thanks to the hundreds of lamps that form part of the exhibition.
An interesting fact#keszthelyi-gasztronomiaDid you know? It is thanks to Taszilo Festetics II that there are a good number of almond trees in our area. The prince wanted to give his wife pleasure with the sight of the trees blooming in spring, and also they were planted in place of the vineyards during the phylloxera plague, so they had economic significance as well. If you want to have an ice cream, be sure to try Festetics' almond kiss!
An interesting fact#keszthelyi-setaloutcaAt the end of the Promenade Street is the Simon House, built around 1790, where the country's first beauty queen, Böske Simon, was born in 1909. At the age of 16, she was chosen as the beauty of the Promenade of Keszthely, and then in 1926 she was chosen as the Fairy of the Balaton. In 1929 she became "Miss Hungary" and then "Miss Europe".
An interesting fact#magyarok-nagyasszonya-plebaniatemplomIn 1896, the then parish priest asked Miksa Róth to make the stained glass windows of the church. He had worked on famous buildings such as the Parliament, and even left his mark in distant Mexico City. The windows he made for the church on the Main Square are still visible in their original state, with the exception of a few that suffered from the bombing during the Second World War.
