This deserted island's owners had always thought it looked like a bit like a heart - but when it started appearing on Google Earth, everyone else began to think so too.
Now the owners of the newly renamed Lovers' Island are being swamped with requests from smitten holidaymakers who want to spend a romantic break there.
Lovers' Island - formerly known by the more prosaic name of Galesnjak - is located in the Adriatic Sea, off the coast of the popular tourism destination of Croatia.

It is just 130,000 square yards and is uninhabited, making it an intriguing location for a romantic Valentine's Day getaway.
'It has been incredible,' Vlado Juresko told news agencies.
'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 since it's been on Google Earth everyone else has seen it too and the whole world seems to want to stay here.'
There are some drawbacks, however.
Juresko did not elaborate on where potential tourists could stay while on the deserted island, or how they would find food and water.
