Balaton and the wine hills
Ten days around Lake Balaton and the southern wine hills: Budapest, Szentendre, Veszprem, Balatonfured and Tihany, Keszthely with Heviz, Pecs and Villany, then back toward Budapest. Tesla, Ionity, Shell Recharge and MOL Plugee in the cities; summer crowds pack the lake shore — book overnight charge and arrive cool, not empty.
Season: Best May to September. Summer crowds pack Balatonfured and Tihany; book overnight Tesla, Ionity or hotel wallbox in Budapest and on the north shore. Wine-hill legs after Pecs ask for a cool battery and an early start.
