The long call · Yeosu

Hyangiram, the cable car, Odongdo and a gejang lunch (08:00–17:00 call)

The 9-hour Westerdam and Noordam calls, gangway by 15:30. Timed from the gangway and back. On an 8-hour stop that leaves 1 hr spare — the full hour this site recommends, and then some.

Every stop here takes walk-ups

Numbers follow the route below. Pins are the places themselves; walking lines are not drawn because the best way between two stops can change with the tram, the tide or the weather.
