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 wife and I had a marvelous trip to Italy and we will cherish the memories. Additionally, we were thoroughly pleased with our itinerary and the package that was provided by RoutePerfect. I have your website bookmarked and I will definitely be using it again in the future!

The trip went very well and the hotels that we stayed in were very nice. I would say the overall experience with RoutePerfect was good and if we go another trip like that we will go back to the website.
