What to See, Eat and Do in Korea (and Beyond)
If there’s one thing you’ll find in abundance in Jeju, it’s groves of tangerine trees. They’re everywhere on the island, filling the air with a scent of citrus when the fruit are in season. When we drove up to Cafe Gyulkkot Darak, the thin strip of road leading up to the cafe was already filled with haphazardly parked cars. A few girls dressed in the “Korea travel aesthetic” were leaving through the front door as we made our way in.
There’s no better way to experience a culture than through their cuisine. So here are 6 snacks and street foods you HAVE to eat in Jeju.
On the southern side of Jeju Island, lies the Seogwipo Maeil Olle Market (서귀포매일올레시장). Though not as large and flashy as the Dongmun Market, I certainly wouldn’t just write it off. This market has been around since the early ’60s and personally, we have found it to have more of those traditional market vibes we love. You can tell it’s a place where locals go to shop and it just happens to have some of those touristy stalls sprinkled in there.
For anyone who wants to explore what Korea has to offer, a trip to Jeju island is an absolute must. That’s why we’ve got a few tips to help you make the most of your Jeju trip without breaking the bank.
There are a few markets on Jeju to choose from, but Dongmun Traditional Market is by far the oldest and the one every traveler HAS to visit.
