A small village on the historical peninsula jutting into Lake Balaton, rich with architectural and natural points of interest.

Tihany is a village on the northern shore of Lake Balaton on the Tihany Peninsula. The whole peninsula is a historical district. The center of the district is the Benedictine Tihany Abbey, rebuilt in baroque style in 1754, and still functioning. This abbey is a popular tourist attraction due to its historical and artistic significance, as well as its view of Lake Balaton. In addition, the village is famed for two local legends - one about an echo that has existed in the area in the 18C and had since abated; and another, concerning a proud princess and "goats' nails" washed ashore from Balaton.

My experience with RoutePerfect was fantastic! I really appreciate your service's help in planning my Europe trip! The planning process was seamless Everything was just fantastic with RoutePerfect, so again I thank you. I was very satisfied - 10 out of 10 with RoutePerfect. The package price was reasonable. In fact, I have already told several friends who are planning upcoming Europe trips about it, and they will be using it!

What a great website you have! Your tech people are amazing. Before we went on our trip I recommended the site to several people for it’s ease of use. Now that we have actually done the traveling that we booked through your site, I can even more highly recommend the site. The travel was perfect and easy. We were mostly satisfied with the hotels and price was much less than we would have paid separately.
