Ecclestone still in love with Croatia
Although now divorced from his Croatian wife Slavica, F1 owner Bernie Ecclestone is still in love with Croatia. He arrived to his favourite Trogir last week where his 60m yacht Petara (named after his two daughters Petra and Tamara) was already awaiting. Ecclestone feels very much at home in Trogir, the UNESCO heritage site, where he enjoys visiting old friends and buying fresh produce on the local farmer’s market. The Formula 1 boss was also spotted buying roses at the local market. According to local newspapers, Ecclestone arrived in a company of the mystery brunette who somewhat resembles his former wife Slavica with his F1 business partners.
During a two week holiday he is cruising Adriatic, visiting other Croatian destinations such as Brac, Hvar, Korcula and Dubrovnik.
