The resorts of Balatonalmadi and Balatonfured on the northern shore of the lake are more genteel than their southern counterparts, with a certain faded elegance, but the crowds of tourists are just as big, while the Tihany Peninsula, and in particular the pretty village of Tihany , attracts even greater numbers. The shoreline beyond Tihany is dominated by holiday homes and nondescript resorts, although the local vineyards make a few visits to wine cellars a temptation. The biggest wine centre, however, is on the slopes of the Badacsony Hills , whose picturesque village, Badacsony , draws big crowds throughout the summer. For walkers, there is plenty to explore in the hinterland, including the volcanic shapes around Badacsony Hills. Buses run alongside the shore to Keszthely , whilst trains follow the lake for most of its length before turning inland to Tapolca, where you should change for Keszthely.
