Heart-shaped island is a Valentine's Day hit
A deserted island which is the shape of a heart has become a valentine holiday hit ... after being spotted on Google Earth.
Owner Vlado Juresko did not even realize the islands almost perfect heart shape until he had requests from people who wanted to stay there.
Having seen 'Galesnjak' on the popular mapping site a number of people decided they wanted to visit for their honeymoon or on Valentine's Day.
Juresko, never one to miss out on an opportunity, has renamed the 110,000 square metre island "Lovers' Island" and started renting it out.
He is now inundated with requests and says he wishes he had known what the island looked like earlier. If only there had been a way to look at land masses before the internet, oh yeah, MAPS.
However visitors to the Adriatic Sea island off the coast of Croatiacould see it living up to its new name, just so they have something to do.
There are no building, no running water - and no wi-fi to carry on using Google Earth.
