The north shore's year-round farmers' markets and craft fairs offer exciting experiences in every season. They promise not only fresh local produce and unique handmade crafts but also a great opportunity to discover local culture and traditions. Buying seasonal fruit and vegetables and locally made treats directly supports local farmers and craftspeople.
You can discover handmade jewellery, ceramics and woven goods, all of which make unique gifts. These markets are not just for shopping – they also let you get to know local communities and take part in local life.
The Lívia Apartmanok team encourages you to enjoy the magical atmosphere of the year-round farmers' markets and craft fairs. Discover the rich cultural heritage of the north shore of Lake Balaton and support the local economy in every season.
Liliomkert, Káptalantóti
Liliomkert is in the village of Káptalantóti in the Balaton Uplands and has welcomed visitors every Sunday morning since 2007 with its farmers' market, the first in the area. It is not just a market but also a community experience, where visitors can buy fresh local produce directly from the producers. Liliomkert's aim is to make reliable, healthy food more accessible and to support local farmers.
Alongside the market there are themed demonstrations and small fairs that promote farm-produced food and show its versatility. A visit to Liliomkert is a unique opportunity during a Balaton holiday to get closer to nature, get to know local culture and support sustainable farming.
