The BAHART ferry links Szántódrév, on the southern shore, with Tihanyrév, at the tip of the peninsula, at the shortest strait of the lake: eight minutes. It runs every day of the year, in winter too, and carries cars, bicycles and pedestrians. From 2 November 2026 it leaves every half hour: from Szántódrév between 7:00 and 18:00 and from Tihanyrév between 7:15 and 18:15. It is the way to link the northern shore, with Tihany and Balatonfüred, with the southern one, of beaches and holiday villages, without going round the lake.
