Things to Prepare

As I went to Namhae-gun on a bus tour, I prepared 1-2 bottles of water and brought only comfortable, lightweight clothing, as we spent a lot of time on the bus, and I wanted to feel comfortable enough. I saw some tour participants wearing elegant, smart clothing like blazers and trousers, but I would not personally recommend such outfits, as they prevent you from enjoying your trip to the fullest. One thing to remember is to bring a comfortable pair of shoes that you wouldn’t worry about dirtying. One last thing I would like to mention is that, especially if you travel with a tour guide, make sure to use your time wisely when they stop at convenience stores. Local food may not be everyone's cup of tea, so it is always better to have a few snacks prepared in case you are in your hotel and still feel hungry.

About your trip

This is the review I shared on my Instagram account about the Namhae-trip: "Living in Seoul is the best thing that ever happened to me, but people living in Namhae are much much luckier! Magical harmony of the endless sea and the breathtaking nature of this village is just what I needed after a stressful period at university. Village people's vibes and lifestyles reminded me of one of my fav K-dramas, "Our Blues", and I felt in a K-drama myself for the first time ever since I arrived in Korea🥺 I don't have the words to describe these people and that sweet impression they left on me, they are just so real and pure💕 We ate breakfast together just a while ago, and the owner lady was trying to take videos of us eating, but because she was so shy, another lady working in the restaurant pushed her towards our table and encouraged her to take the video😂 I just love how cheerful are all the people we have met here so far. My sincere gratitudes go to those who made this trip possible. And thanks a lot to the Namhae-gun city office for sponsoring this trip!!🥰"

TIP

My golden tip for those traveling to Namhae-gun would be to visit the town during the "Treasure Island Mijo Port Anchovy & Seafood Festival." They will absolutely enjoy the dynamic vibes of Namhae locals, as well as a wide range of activities, including trying some delicious seafood, and makgeolli (when we attended the festival, locals offered us some free makgeolli), listening to trot music, and buying dried seafood products, souvenirs, and so on. Another thing they should not miss is seeing the German Village in Namhae and the perfect view of the sea from the German Village. Also, visiting the Namhae Bridge and taking cool pictures is a must.
