I've vacationed there two times and thought it was a great place. Maybe my favorite place outside of Seoul. It's got sea, mountains, nice people, not too far from Seoul. It was quite a bit "country" though. I saw a few hotels / condos and none of them had any sheets on the beds, in fact they were perplexed by the concept of "sheets". They had a new, big mega-store (homeplus?, lottemart?) so you should be able to find most things you need.
Beautiful location though. Best mountains, great sea. |

Sokcho was my first location in Korea. I chose it deliberately for its setting & its size. Loved it right off & still do, still here 13 years later.
It likely wouldnt suit someone accustomed to big city living but it has its own small-scale urban charm. Theres enough western stuff locally available (& an Emart) to sustain a comfort zone. Theres a few dozen resident expats who are friendly & welcoming. Locals tend to be friendly too. Theres a fresh foot of snow this morning!
I dont know much about AP School but I havent heard anything terrible. If I get the chance I'll ask around & post back. |
