    Digital Desk: Valentine's Day is observed on February 14th. People celebrate this day with their partners or admirers by showering them with special signs of love, huge surprises, handcrafted gifts, and other kind gestures. 

    Furthermore, Valentine's Day is a love celebration, and it is needed to convey your love and gratitude for that special someone with meaningful words. 

    A part of Croatia's famous heart-shaped Coastal islet known as the Island of Love by tourists is for sale.

    The deserted islet of Galesnjak in the Pasman channel is one of the most recognizable Croatian islets, and a portion of it is being offered for development to prospective buyers.

    "Over a million images are taken on and around the islet each year, and I believe its popularity is very high," said Silvestro Kardum, a spokesman for the owner of the block of land for sale.

    There are no hotels, houses, or restaurants on the islet, but every summer, many celebrities and their yachts visit Galesnjak.

    "Beyonce had her 39th birthday party on the islet and she's there several days or even weeks every year, Michael Jordan was there last year, Jeff Bezos, there's no shortage of celebs in that area," Kardum explained.

    He stated that the profits from the sale would be invested elsewhere in the community.

    "The island has 142,000 square meters and little more than 40,000 square meters is offered for sale for the price of 13 million euros," he added, adding that potential buyers are contacting him every day.

    In 2019, scientists from Croatia's University of Zadar's Department of Archaeology discovered evidence of human settlement stretching back 7,000 years.
