Zánka, on Lake Balaton’s northern shore, offers plenty of quiet spots perfect for families and friends heading to the shows. One house offers two apartments in a peaceful, serene location in this popular resort area. Another vacation home sleeps 4-10, just 600 meters from the beach with Lake Balaton views, a large yard, garden furniture, a barbecue area, and secure parking.
The Fügekert guesthouse sits at the gateway to the Káli Basin in central Zánka, surrounded by stunning scenery and family-friendly amenities. Guests start their mornings with breakfast made from local artisans’ handmade goods, while evenings unwind on the terrace with the Káli Basin’s finest wines, craft syrups, and treats.
A holiday home offers comfortable accommodations for families and groups in a quiet location. Apartments with separate entrances and panoramic Lake Balaton views sleep 2-6. A guesthouse features three apartments for up to 10, rentable together or individually—ideal for any group. The Léda Nyaralóház is 1,000 meters from the lake in quiet Zánka.
Just 250 meters from the Lake Balaton beach, another spot offers four rooms for 12, with a wine cellar stocked with six types of homegrown wines beneath the cozy bedrooms. Relax in the garden under shady trees on loungers, sipping and chilling. Rózner Apartments in central Zánka offer two units for 4-5 each, with kitchens, dining areas, and private baths—great for tourists, vacationers, or passersby near the beach.
Dine Like Locals Amid the Excitement
Refuel at a modern European bistro catering to those with gluten and dairy sensitivities, offering year-round vegetarian and vegan dishes.

Fügekert repeats the charm with its family-friendly vibe, scenic stays, craft breakfasts, and terrace tastings of regional wines and syrups.
