Why the island of Galešnjak is also called "Heart Island" becomes clear when you look at the map. Located between the Croatian mainland and the island of Pašman, it is one of the very rare heart-shaped objects found in nature. For a long time the uninhabited island was known only to the inhabitants of the surrounding area. But in 2009, the level of awareness changed rapidly when the mini-island was highlighted by Google Earth. Since then, Galešnjak has enjoyed great popularity among romantics from all over the world and is also popular for a marriage proposal. However, since the island is privately owned, permission must be obtained from the owner before a romantic visit.
