A village with a population of 1,300, 10 km from Hódmezővásárhely, on the bank of the backwater of the Tisza. It is not only a bathing resort with opportunities of rowing, but an anglers' and hunters' paradise as well. Every summer, with the participation of eminent artists, the International Extramural Shool of the Fine Arts is organized. The 'Painters' mound' commemorates the painters, already deceased, who were active here. One of the outstanding events of the cultural life of the village is the three-days' series of programs called 'Mártély Cavalcade' during the first weekend of August.
