The market is big, colorful, and cool. There are a lot of Turkish goods, sweets, souvenirs. Prices are not lower than in the Russian Federation, including for fruits. Only tobacco products are cheaper.
Jeanne with her spices is a huge minus!!! We bought a lot of spices for ourselves and friends, but all turned out to be with bugs, and some with worms!!!
Example of prices for some products:
Bay leaf (broom) small. 50p, bol. 150
Cigarettes from 30p pack (RB), local about 80-100, sticks Hits 280 (!) r
Local lemonades (glass 0.5) from 60 to 100p
Dried persimmon from 750 to 1000 per kg
Ice cream cup local 25p
Peaches, nectarines are delicious 250-350, homemade 100-150 were taken (did not like it)
Beer local glass 0.5 from 70 to 100 r on average
Wines, chacha from 300 per liter, homemade more expensive
Those who are nostalgic for the USSR will like the market. A large, covered area with shopping malls. It doesn't look well-groomed, but for some reason it's cute.
There you can buy a variety of oriental sweets, local fruits, cheeses and sausages.
You can also have an oriental coffee.
Without really reading the small label, I bought a mutton "local" sausage there,
At home, I found that it was produced in Taganrog.
For some reason, I naively believed that everything that is sold in this market is certainly produced in Abkhazia.
I even asked the saleswoman if it was made here and received an affirmative answer)
Probably this is what left an unpleasant aftertaste.
But maybe she just didn't want to destroy my illusions.
The market is diverse, for every taste. Local fruits at prices not lower than Russian ones , but much sweeter, it is better to take from grandmothers. You can buy souvenirs and things, and be sure to bargain. Spices are arranged in slides, beautifully, but I was afraid to take them, since they lie open (dust is unambiguous) and it is not known what quality. It is better to take industrial, packaged ones - they are also present on the market and you can see the production date and expiration date.
