Deemed the Santorini of Korea, there’s no denying that the Huinnyeoul Cultural Village is a stunning sight to behold. A quiet but picturesque village perched atop an unbelievably steep cliff by the waters, Huinnyeoul Cultural Village is a colorful village that was borne from a difficult time in history.
The Huinnyeoul Cultural Village was once a refugee village but was given a breath of life by street artists who took the opportunity to turn the village into a collective work of art with vibrantly painted buildings in this Santorini-esqued village. Today, the village is a unique Culture and Art Village that paints a beautiful picture of the history and life in Yeongdo.
Journey into the 14 narrow alleys of the quaint village where you’ll discover an assortment of cafes, workshops, and independent bookstores or just simply relax and take in the views of the ocean the village offers. A definite must-visit when you’re in South Korea.
