BUDGET-friendly holiday apartment (55 EUR for max. 4 people) in HEVIZ, HUNGARY 800 meters from the THERMAL LAKE in quiet surroundings, yet walking distance from the downtown area.
According to Wikipedia, the thermal lake at Heviz is the largest swimmable thermal lake in the world (47,500 square metres (511,286 sq ft) the in area), second only to Frying Pan Lake in New Zealand, which is too hot for swimming. The water in the lake is completely replenished every 72 hours.
The town of Heviz is like a jewel, beautiful gardens throughout, very pretty with lots of restaurants and shops. They have a wonderful farmer's market. It is amazing to swim through the lake in the winter time when the surrounding forest is covered in snow.
The area is one of the most beautiful in Hungary, with lots of other sights. Lake Balaton is about 8 kilometer, there are several wonderful beaches in Keszthely which is also home of the amazing Festetics castle. Within half an hour from Heviz is Sümeg with the Sümeg fortress, also a very cute town.
If you have adventurous children, I highly recommend the indoor climbing place Bobo Fun park in Alsópáhok which is at a world class level.
