Getting Around Seogwipo
These loops cover most Seogwipo sights. Tap with T-money card; buses have next-stop displays in English. Avoid rush hour (08:00-09:00, 18:00-19:00) when packed.
Buy ticket at counter or use cash. Express buses (red) are faster than blue. The terminal is a 15-min walk or short bus ride from the homestay. Useful for day trips to Jeju City attractions.
Use the airport taxi queue, not ride-hail apps. Drivers may not know the homestay name—show Naver map pin for Gojeonghwa halmangminbak (고정화할망민박) in Korean.
Get off at Jungang Rotary stop. The homestay is a short walk east on Ilju-ro. Sit on the left for sea views past Oedolgae.
