Káptalantóti’s beloved Liliomkert Market swings open every Sunday, welcoming both new faces and loyal regulars to one of the Balaton Uplands’ prettiest corners, the Káli Basin. Dreamed up and founded by biologist-engineer Ildikó Harmathy, this now nationally famous producers’ market is best tackled on an empty stomach. Wandering past the tables, it’s impossible not to taste: pork cracklings and cheese scones tucked into baskets, fragrant caraway crescents stacked high, and oven-hot, sour-cream-topped chimney bread begging to be torn into.
Where and when
Open year-round, every Sunday from 7:00 to 14:00 at 8283 Káptalantóti, Petőfi St. 1. Next highlighted date: 2026.01.25. Organizer contact: Ildikó Harmathy. The organizers reserve the right to change the date and program.
A market born from conversation
What started as a simple friendly chat has become one of the region’s most popular meeting points for producers and shoppers, many traveling from far away just for this. The market’s charm comes from the makers themselves—farmers, artisans, and vintners standing behind their goods—and from the easy, face-to-face chats that turn buying into a connection. Tasting is encouraged, freshness is the rule, and quality is the draw.
What to try and take home
– Foods: homemade cheeses, fresh pork cracklings, ham, syrups, preserves, fresh and dried fruits, artisanal breads and pastries, cakes, and strudels in all sorts of flavors.
– Drinks: homemade syrups, pálinka (fruit brandy), and local wines.
– Crafts: carvings, handmade decor, lavender and rose white ceramics, and unique gift items.
– Antiques: vintage objects, books, and curiosities.
Pro tips for your visit
