Geomundo

Geomundo (거문도) is a set of small islands off the coast of South Korea.

Understand
These sleepy islands were briefly occupied by the British and named 'Port Hamilton' between 1885 and 1887 with the intention to contain Russian expansion. These islands are also unique in maintaining a number of Japanese colonial buildings.

Get in
The main way here is by ferry from the mainland city of Yeosu (in turn reachable from over the country by fast KTX train). Ferries usually run twice a day and take 150 minutes.
