Hungary 2024 - follow on trip ?

[Inspectorclueso]

I have posted this in travel and holidays as well, wasn't sure which area would be best hence apols for duplication if you see both of my similar posts.

I've just booked Hungary F1 next year as it works with the school hols for my boys etc...

I'm keen to make a trip of this and follow the grand prix with around 10 days somewhere else (or multi centre). I'm thinking about getting the sleeper train down to Split, then taking some time in around Split, or Croatia in general.

I'm really after a good resort / hotel where we can relax for a week or so. There'll be 2 adult, 3 kids (17,15,12)..

Has anyone done this, any decent places to go that are practical after the Grand Prix....?

Any recommendations for Croatia or neighbouring / fairly local countries, or other things to follow the GP with ?

Croatia is beautiful, have you thought about chartering a boat and a skipper and sailing from Split to Dubrovnik round the islands like Brac, Mljet etc, the adriatic sea isn't prone to rough seas so it woukd be an enjoyable few days, you could extend it to a week quite easily.

Alternatively you could island hop down on the passenger ferries which is fun. Dubrovnik is nice but gets busy with cruise ships during the day. Once they leave on the afternoon, the place is really nice and all the waiters are much friendlier!!

I would so like to do the boat thing, but alas, my wife won't consider it, she doesn't like boats or being out on the water. May have to save that for another time. Maybe I'll find someone else to take on a yatch at some point..
