Heart-Shaped Island Becomes Popular Destination

Valentine's Day is a few days away but a tiny heart-shaped island in the Adriatic has become a hit after being discovered on Google Earth.

Even the uninhabited island's owner didn't realise how perfectly heart-shaped the island off the Croatian coast was until he was swamped with requests from lovers to stay there.

"It has been incredible," says Vlado Juresko whose family owns the 130,000 square yard islet of Galesnjak, hastily redubbed Lovers' Island. "We think it is the most perfect heart-shaped island in the world."

"Nobody lives there so if lovers really do want to spend time alone it's the perfect desert island."

"We always thought it looked a bit like a heart but now everyone else has seen it too and the whole world seems to want to stay here."

See a photo of the island below. It hasn't been altered and this is EXACTLY how it appears on Google:
