The Santorini of South Korea

Gamcheon Culture Villiage was formed by refugees of the Korean war who built their houses in staircase-fashion on the foothills of a coastal mountain. The many alleys that cut through this community are vibrantly decorated with murals and sculptures created by the residents. With its rows of colourful terraced houses standing along the mountainside Gamcheon Culture Village is referred as the 'The Santorini of South Korea' or Busan's Santorini. Vibrantly-painted murals and interesting sculptures beautifully decorated the village. The alleyways, staircases and winding streets add an exotic charm for visitors to explore the picturesque village. #100waysoftravel #southkorea #travelgram #cityscape #busan
