About this itinerary
Yeosu is known for its markets and long-running local eateries, which makes it a great city to eat your way through on foot. This itinerary centers on places like Yeosu Coastal Ferry Terminal, Yeosu Fishery Market, Seo Market (4th, 9th), and every meal is a short walk from the stop before it.
From Incheon Airport it takes about 4 hr by AREX and KTX. Anything within about 20 minutes on foot, you walk.
You stay all 2 nights near Yi Sunsin Square and start every day from the same place — no repacking.
Day 1: Yeosu Coastal Ferry Terminal, Yeosu Fishery Market, Seo Market (4th, 9th). Lunch at Gwangjang Seodaehoe (Yi Sun-sin Square), dinner at Haechon Sanjang-eo Sut-bul-gui.
Day 2: Deokyang Market, Yeosu Prehistoric Ruins Park, Seongsan Park, Yeosu Art Museum. Lunch at Yeosu Surim Hoepotcha Main Branch, dinner at Rado 9900.
Day 3: Yeosu Marine Cable Car, Dolsan Park. Lunch at Yeosu Gejang Nangman Byeolsik. Then head back to Incheon Airport.
Some market stalls close by late afternoon, so earlier is better. Go a little hungry and share small plates at several places.
Times in this plan are worked out from the distance between stops and how long you stay at each one. Feel free to drop a stop or two for a slower pace. Every stop has location and directions buttons that open the map directly.
