Renowned global travel magazine National Geographic has just published a new article about Lake Balaton. The respected monthly chatted with Hungarian artist Zsófia Pályi, whose vivid photography has been awarded the Károly Hemző Prize.

The photographs have featured in various foreign publications before.

The article highlights Káli Basin, the Tihany Peninsula, Badacsony and Balatonfüred, along with the wines of the Figula, Jásdi, Gilvesy, and Szászi cellars. For cultural delights, the publication recommends the Valley of Arts and Vaszary-villa in Balatonfüred.
