Cons
Györköny's a total hidden gem in Tolna County, barely known to foreign visitors who stick to Budapest or Balaton
Heavy on wine and live tunes, so not the most family-friendly if you've got young kids who'll get bored quick
Hungarian dominates, no guarantee of English everywhere in this rural spot – basic phrases help
Tricky reach from Budapest: public buses are sparse, better rent a car for the 2-hour drive through countryside
