Sailing Charter in Tihany

Tihany – The Mystical Peninsula of Lake Balaton

Tihany is the most iconic destination on Lake Balaton, a unique peninsula that juts deep into the lake, almost dividing it in two. The Benedictine Abbey, founded in 1055, where the first written record of the Hungarian language was created, still proudly watches over the peninsula.

The volcanic peninsula is a special natural treasure: the Inner Lake and Outer Lake, geyser cones, and lavender fields all make it unique. While sailing, you can admire both sides of the peninsula – an experience that cannot be replicated anywhere else on Lake Balaton.

The Tihany Harbour and Ferry

Tihany's harbour is located on the southern side of the peninsula, where the ferry departs towards Szántód. This is Hungary's busiest ferry route, and the harbour is well-developed accordingly.

• Picturesque harbour at the southern tip of the peninsula
• Ferry connection to the southern shore (Szántód)
• Parking available near the ferry port
• Restaurants and fish taverns beside the harbour
• Walk up to the Abbey on foot
