Galešnjak Island

Galešnjak Island (also called Island of Love, Lover's Island, Otok za Zaljubljene) is located in the Pašman channel between the islands of Pašman and Turanj on the mainland. It is one of the worlds few naturally occurring heart-shaped objects, and it is the most heart-shaped naturally formed island in the world.

The island has a surface of 0.132 km2. The length of the beech is 1.55 km. On the island are two peaks; the highest of these peaks is 36 m high above sea level.
Galešnjak is 100% privately owned, completely deserted, containing only wild plants and trees, untouched beeches, azure-blue Adriatic waters. The only human activity recorded on this island are three known Illyrian burial mounds and the hint of an ancient building's foundations.

The island's shape was first recorded 1802 when the famous Napoleon Maps of Dalmatia clearly showed the shape of the island to be heart shaped. 202 years later Google Earth brought the island to world wide attention when the island was "rediscovered".
