Siofok, The Summer Heart Of Lake Balaton
Siofok is a well known vacation spot in Hungary. A lot of people probably have heard of the biggest sweet water lake called Lake Balaton. It is a popular holiday resort for families with children, singles or couples, young or old. The water is shallow and warm and there are no high speed boats along the lake. No one has to be afraid of accidents while swimming.
Lake Balaton has two parts: the north shore and the south shore. The south one is the shallow area. At this shore you can find Siofok which people often call the summer capital of Hungary as its population reaches 100000 people at this time of the year and is flooded with tourists.
Siofok has 15 km of coastline along the lake and it is a medium sizes town about 110 km away from Budapest which is the capital of the country. The two cities are connected by a well-maintained highway and railroad. The city has a population of 25000 inhabitants.
Due to its size Siofok has not only a downtown area but some suburbs as well: Kiliti, Toreki, Szabadifurdo, Sosto, Szeplak-Also and Felso.
Some of which are along the coast and some of which lie some kilometers away the lake shore making them silent during the noisy summer season.
The spring, summer and fall are the seasons to visit the town. Festivals such as the spring festival, Sio channel festival make spring interesting, but colourful events make summer exciting to those interested in culture: Stephanie festival, the Feast of Bread and Wine in August, not to mention the countrywide popular Eggfestival in October which is the most popular event of all with Guinness recording breaking each year.
Besides events a lot of people come for doing absolutely nothing except for relaxing, eating and simpy having fun. The city offers them all. Hundreds of restaurants, buffets, bars and discos can be found everywhere you go.
You can enjoy a cheap holiday in private apartments in Siofok and self-catering holiday homes or spend some unforgettable luxury vacation in one of the many four-star hotels of the town or family hotels.
