Offshore light 2 [ANSWERED]

This is someting special, one of my favourite places in the world. I hope to see it again in just 10 days from now.
(Which is meant as a tiny little clue given my home location adding that I am not a billionaire or millionaire and I am going here by car)



This is GSV

My route planner says I will drive almost exactly 6 hours and then relax on the ferry for almost exactly two hours. Then I only need some 25 minutes more by car again and I'm there.

Well I guess they removed the building... and... pushed the island a little further...



Just kidding   have to work on this a little bit more!

Unless you secretly gave your route planner to the four people who found it so far I'd say there is an easier way to find this. 

Several hours searching for this with no result, then a few beers and BAM FOUND IT

I'm laughing in front of my screen right now, not because I've finally found this, but because of what I've had to do to find it with the clue knowing that four people found it without the clue. Too much work for me on a sunday evening, no doubt about that.

Which brings the question: there were probably three magic easy keywords that make the island pop up, right? Right? What were they? I deserve to know!

It is actually very, very easy to make this show up, I needed just two keywords. I spent many hours on this simply because Google wasn't directing me to the correct islands. I mean, I could find the name of that thing, but no result on maps or GE.

Then why didn't you go to the wiki article about the island? They have the coords there!

Actually never found the wiki article of that lol, I just came across a lot of websites everyone giving a different name to this thing... it was hard for me

Not exactly, or at least you may be wrong, if you speak about similar photos of the Glavat Island lighthouse. Check out those hits they are very similar but not this one, I also found them.

The thing is, I didn't identify this a a lighthouse, it doesn't look like one to me, more just like a plain house (people build isolated houses everywhere). Plus, why Croatia? Pre-clue, I mean.

He is from Hungary, and he's going to a beautiful sea place by car. It can be only Greece or Croatia.
But Croatia is much closer... so, it was my first guess and it was right

Oh right, silly me, he did mention that in the OP. Even I had thought of that country at first, but then got lost in Italy after the 1st clue. Still the lighthouse thing was completely lost on me.

Greece cannot be reached from Hungary in 6 hours driving unless roads are closed (and renewed previously) , borders are opened and you hitchhike Fernando Alonso
And as for Italy I already mentioned that even if Italy's northern-eastern sections could theoretically be reached by motorway there is no place to take the ferry from that part of Italy which travels around 2 hours.

We were talking pre-clue keywords, but ok.
