Galešnjak

When it comes to Valentine’s Day, there is never too much that can be done to show the loved ones how they mean the world to us. Whereas some of us settle for just a regular Valentine card, or flowers and candy, others would travel across the globe for a romantic break with their lover. Of course, it would be one of the romantic things ever, since we’re speaking about a perfectly heart-shaped island, Galesnjak, off the coast of Croatia.

The owner of Galesnjak, a small deserted island, admits that he always thought that his property resembled a heart, but it wasn’t until it made it in Google Earth that he truly became convinced of it. Now, he says, after so many people have seen the island (whose name has officially been changed to a more appropriate Lovers’ Island), he is assaulted daily with thousands of requests for romantic breaks there, especially with Valentine’s Day just around the corner.
