Geoje island (
거제도) is about 50 kilometers to the south-west of Busan.
It's inhabited, by approximately 300 000 people! And it was recently
linked to Busan by an expressway and a series of bridges. But it has a beautiful coastline and remains mostly forested.

There is one large city on the island, called
Geoje city (
거제시). And the island is dotted with small fishing villages, like
Okpo (
옥포).

거제도 is a popular vacation spot for the people of Busan. There are many cottages on the island, and recreational fishing seems to be a popular hobby for 거제 islanders, and for visitors to 거제도.

거제 is beautiful, and it's definitely worth a visit. Plus, the road to the island passes right by Busan's port,
the 5th largest in the world. It, too, is a pretty impressive sight!
