The Croatian grand prix of the sea

With its non-Euro currency, excellent flight connections and sparkling clear coastline it’s no surprise that the Croatian city of Split has been chosen to host a world championship Powerboat P1 race for the next three years, the first event being held from 15 – 19 April 2010.

Hidden Croatia has come up with excellent packages to be there for the event, with prices from just £645 for a 7 night stay, with flights, transfers and b&b accommodation in a 5* hotel.

4* Hotel Park, Split
The 4* Hotel Park is widely held to be the most elegant and distinguished hotel in the city and has hosted royal families, state presidents and celebrities, while painters and poets have also found inspiration on its terraces. The outdoor dining area looks out onto lovely gardens of Mediterrean flowers and mature palms, leading down to the sea. The nearby Bacvice beach, with its crystal clear water, has been awarded Blue Flag status and the centre of Split is a pleasant 10 - 15 minute walk. The hotel has 53 richly furnished air conditioned rooms, most with sea views, an aperitif bar and terrace for outside dining, a gym and sauna, and an a la carte restaurant `Bruna', serving recipes claimed to be handeed down from generation to generation.
