Geoje Island 거제도 is located only 1 hour and 20 minutes from Busan by bus and costs as little as 7,000 won. It is the second largest island in Korea (Jeju being the biggest). It is a very popular get-a-way destination for people living in Busan as those with a car can reach it in about an hour. Buses can be caught from Sasang Bus Terminal which is connected to Sasang Station on the Green and Purple subway lines.
