The top ten 
islands list is a result of a massive survey
 of travellers, asking readers to share their 
experiences of holidays around the world.
Islands are rated on activities, sights,
 natural attractions, food, friendliness, 
beaches, and overall value.
One visitor describes
 it as the ‘single most beautiful place on earth’.
 Nice.
