Croatia's heart-shaped island one of most romantic destinations in Europe

Two Croatian destinations - the island of Galešnjak and the seaside resort of Opatija -- are added to the list of the most romantic destinations which the European Best Destination (EBD) organisation published recently ahead of Valentine's Day, observed on 14 February.

The EBD describes Croatia as "a perfect destination for a romantic holiday on Valentine's Day."
 
Galešnjak," this heart-shaped island is ranked among the best places to propose in Europe," said the organisation.
 
Galešnjak is located near Nin "another Croatian destination that you have ranked among the best romantic destinations and Best sustainable romantic destinations in Europe. Everything here is love."
 
As far as Opatija is concerned, this Croatian Adriatic city is praised for being  "truly unique".

The EBD underscores that "the contrasts of sea and mountains, green parks and blue ocean make Opatija the perfect destination for a romantic getaway for Valentine in Europe."
