Badacsony a borokért, Kéknyelű kötelező 🍷
A Hévízi-tóban télen is lehet fürdeni, csodálatos.
A Káli-medence a legszebb rész, csendes és varázslatos.
A Festetics-kastély Keszthelyen nagyon szép.
A Tapolcai-tavasbarlang csónakázás, gyerekek imádják.
Szigligeti vár a legszebb kilátás a tóra.
Tihany a levendulával júniusban gyönyörű.
Lángos a strandon, a Balaton íze 😋
Siófok csak a bulizásért jó, a nyugodt nyaralásra az északi part jobb.
