Vacation without a car
It looks like nobody expected us to arrive without a car, so I am writing a few words about what you can expect! First of all: we had a very good impression of the Hungarian railways, and Fonyod is a stop also for IC trains. Walking from the house to the railway station is about 10min.Right behind that railway station is the closest beach: about 600m from the house. You pay a little entry fee and you are in some kind of "beach fun park" with all sorts of amusement for children and others.If you just want a nice beach, with good infrastructure, but without that "fun park bustle", you walk along some "panorama path" to another beach, further to the SW. That one is about 1 km away, 15-20 min walking.On top of that, you can go for little walks in all directions, like to the two hill tops with lookouts (towers - the one being closed for revision now). Or you take the boat to Badascony and go for more extended walks. Or you take the train that easily and frequently brings you to every location along the S coast of Balaton.One good thing with the trains: They are not expensive, and you can buy your tickets still at a counter in the railway station, so you do not need to fiddle around only with machines and apps - a big advantage if you are a foreigner.The house itself is nice, you can spend time either inside or in the garden, in the sun or in the shadow. If you want you can use a grill or a little brick-built fire place there.
