Káptalantóti’s beloved Liliomkert Market opens every Sunday, year-round, from 7:00 to 14:00, drawing locals and travelers to one of the prettiest corners of the Balaton Uplands, the Káli Basin. Dreamed up and founded by biologist-engineer Ildikó Harmathy after a simple friendly chat, the market has grown into a regional meeting point where producers and buyers happily travel long distances just to be there. Turn up hungry: weaving between stalls, it’s impossible not to sample as you go—basket-nestled cracklings and cheese pogácsa, fragrant caraway crescents piled high, and oven-hot, sour-cream-topped kenyérlángos begging to be torn and shared.

Why it’s special
