Lake Balaton (Hungarian: [ˈbɒlɒton], German: Plattensee, Latin: Lacus Pelso, Serbo-Croatian: Blatno jezero, Slovak: Blatenské jazero, Slovene: Blatno jezero) is a freshwater lake in the Transdanubian region of Hungary. It is the largest lake in Central Europe, and one of the region's foremost tourist destinations. The Zala River provides the largest inflow of water to the lake, and the canalised Sió is the only outflow.
The mountainous region of the northern shore is known both for its historic character and as a major wine region, while the flat southern shore is known for its resort towns. Balatonfüred and Hévíz developed early as resorts for the wealthy, but it was not until the late 19th century when landowners, ruined by Phylloxera attacking their grape vines, began building summer homes to rent out to the burgeoning middle classes.
The perfect place when escaping from the city life. There are a lot of things to do here: sailing, wind surfing, fishing or simply jogging by the lake side. There is also a nearby airport that offers skydiving. Prices of the apartments vary. People are friendly and hospitable. May is the best month to visit Lake Balaton for it is not crowded, hotels and apartments are cheap, and the weather is just fine.

There is a beautiful bike path all around the Balaton. There are great places for camping, swimming, and hiking. Beautiful beaches, resorts, and villages to visit everywhere. A special place to see is Tihany!

Dirty! Helicopters spray poison against mosquito's, hotels pump at night their sewage waist in the lake, do now want to know what happens more. Never again!

The Hungarian sea as it is called, lake Balaton is pretty special as the water levels are perfect, it is the favourite destination for all Hungarians during summer so in case you are driving there on a weekend expect delays. It is nice place to relax and enjoy your family and friends.

Perfect place for a vacation. Everyone finds activities, from club nights, to wine tasting dinners, from swimming to hiking. There are many attractions worth visiting.

How can you not appreciate the beauty of the largest fresh water lake in the world? Breathtaking scenes of natural scenery. It's a beautiful lake and spreads over a long area. This place is as mystical as the pictures show it to be. Great views of mountains and the water is as blue as the pictures show it to be. The best time to visit early morning. I can't even find words for how much I love this lake. Must visit here and enjoy the life. Your time will be well paid.

Good place for a camping ... veey touristic though. Not our style , but many like it and many more will if/when they get there. Be careful with the hungarians. Very tricky guys, do not speak any languages except Hungarian and are trying to rob every penny out of Your pocket.
