The tower was built in the middle of the peninsula next to the lavender field, it was built upon the model of the former Roman watchtower, west of the outer Lake on Apáti Hill. There are wonderful panoramic views from which to explore the most famous points of the area.

The first lavender field was created by Gyula Bitter in the mid-1920s. Later, the lavender field began to decline, but from 1986, lavender cultivation on the peninsula gained new momentum and is now cultivated on nearly thirty acres.

The Benedictine Abbey of Tihany was founded by our King Andrew I in 1055, and he was buried here in 1060. In the 16th century, the monks left the area and did not return until 1674. Due to a fire, renovations began in 1729, which was completed in 1754.

Echo Hill is located at the end of the Pisky Promenade. The phenomenon of the 18th century, was established in the middle of the 19th century, when the Abbey was rebuilt. Words shouted from Echo Stone on Echo Hill bounce back from the north wall of the Abbey, 300 meters away, in a matter of seconds.

The restaurant, which started with the slogan “Good food, No design”, aimed not to add to the looks, only to the food with fresh, quality ingredients. A few years have passed since then, and their new slogan is “Good Food, less Design!”, meaning they continue to focus on excellent ingredients and matching moderate and modern technology.
