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
A good selection of vegetables, fruits, all kinds of sweets, tea, nuts and other things. In souvenir shops you can always find something interesting to give to your family and friends. But it's better not to buy wine and chacha here.) Chebureks from the stall were not particularly impressed, I don't know why they are so praised, for my taste, our old-school grannies are much tastier. And so, we went several times, the place is interesting, we always bought something. Impressions of the market are generally positive.
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.
The market is not big, but you can buy all the prices do not bite very much, the main thing is to be able to bargain in Abkhazia, this is normal, and finally the most important thing, dear women! if you dream of a fur coat, then you definitely need to come here!! We bought my wife a mink coat, Pyatigorsk fur. Factories ATTENTION!!! FOR 85 THOUSAND RUBLES!!!! The fur coat sat down like a glove, of excellent quality, light as a feather. I'll try to attach a photo, but I'm not sure what will happen.
A large selection of food and not only, a variety of fruits and vegetables, prices are pleasing, you can try it here, taste goodies, a huge selection of seasonings, homemade wine, nuts, churchkhela is different, there is a cafe, near the market with clothing trade pavilions.
A colorful market, you can buy tea for every taste, churchkhela, honey and many, many different cheeses, sausages, homemade peaches, figs, etc. There is also a clothing market, if you forgot something at home, you can buy it here. The prices are different for any wallet.
It's a fairy tale! There are so many things! A huge selection of all goods and products! Gorgeous Abkhazian teas with herbs, natural honey, legendary seasonings, cheeses, vegetables and much more! I would only go there for purchases, but I do not live in Abkhazia. Always when visiting this wonderful country, I will stop by this market! He's the best!
The market in Gagra has a large assortment.
The meat is sold in a separate large pavilion with a huge number of flies. Sausage at the entrance to the pavilion, but with flies (sitting right on the sausage).
Fruits and vegetables are all imported. We visited the market on 09/10/2024, in the central part of the market near the meat pavilion and at the exit they sold us green tangerines with a leaf, peaches, cucumbers, melon and watermelon, and also wanted to sell pomegranates. Everything is not local on the market: tangerines from China, peaches from Turkey, melon is yellow outside - green inside, watermelon itself cracked on the table at home and leaked out.
Abkhazia is a beautiful republic, but edible and local fruits are absent here in the main season.
I liked only the pavilions along the road at the entrance: you can buy souvenirs and Turkish delight (oriental sweets) at one of the best prices in Abkhazia.
An excellent market, a large assortment, prices from all sellers are different, you can search and find goods at an affordable price, you can bargain. The quality of the product is good, lots of fresh fruits and vegetables.
An authentic place with an Abkhazian flavor! When you first visit this market, your eyes "run away" from the abundance of all kinds of products. Various types of cheeses, meat products , spices , tea, whatever your heart desires. Sellers willingly invite you to taste their products, which of course is difficult to refuse. We visited Abkhazia in mid-August, delicious local seasonal fruits such as figs, peaches, nectarines are on the shelves. Prices are quite expected for vacationers, (of whom the market is dominated) do not be afraid to bargain, because the discount level will depend on the specific seller and his compliance. A fly in the ointment - we heard "interesting things" about ourselves a couple of times in the back, after we left one point without buying anything there to another, of course we did not focus on this, because we came on vacation, and not to sort things out) Summarizing the above, I recommend you to visit, even if you are not ready to buy something, at least as a sightseeing tour of the local gastronomy! P.S. Shops with souvenir paraphernalia are represented in sufficient numbers in the territory adjacent to the market...
The market is large, there are clothes and products, honey,nuts,adjika (very tasty, we make sauce from it),adjika for 300 rubles a jar 0.5,there are different teas, a large jar 150-250 rubles, various spices,sweets,wine,fruits. There are many souvenir stalls nearby. You can buy everything on the market cheaper than they offer on excursions. Below is a photo where they bought tea and adjika. They also have maclure, raw and tincture (treats joints well)
I really liked it! Especially the prices in the part that is away from the road) There, prices and goods are much better, cheaper and more diverse than in the first rows) Very tasty coffee on the sand on the counter next to the covered two-storey market building.
Classic Soviet-style market: products: meat, cheeses, nuts, spices, dried fruits, lemonades, clothing, beach equipment, second-hand books and antiques. There are not many local goods, many fruits are Turkish, sausages are Russian or Armenian, etc.
Groceries are cheaper than on excursions in the mountains. Although, there is one sausage pavilion where there are some cosmic prices for meat products! I really liked the juices: pomegranate, feijoa, I advise you! Three hundred rubles and a half liter bottle. There are no fruits from Abkhazia itself, everything is brought from Krasnodar. They sell a small decorative melon, called pineapple variety. But it is really decorative, it is impossible to eat it - grass is grass!
I want to say about honey, they sell it in plastic bottles for 300 rubles, really of dubious quality...be sure to try it before taking it from that tasted jar/bottle...baking and possible sweets such as cakes are better not to even try at all, poisoning immediately. Chebureks with cheese also cause concern (do not be lazy to look and smell the oil on which they fry), I'm not talking about meat, even churchkhela was poisoned (or, she was lying at the seller for a long time and the flies most likely sat) you will work at the pharmacy (prices in the pharmacy are mega cosmic)I experienced all this horror for myself, I was a guinea pig...The family was not injured...We just haven't tried any of the above.
The market is small, but you can buy anything you want to bring home there. Excellent wine and champagne, delicious cheese chips (three times cheaper than at a cheese tasting), tea is 2.5 times cheaper. Spices, tangerines, sweets. We bought everything there and were satisfied. Beware only of gypsy women with their charms when entering the market.
May'24
We were here😊
There are a lot of spices, tea, seasonal fruits and vegetables on the market, cheeses, sausages are sold, pastries.
There is also a woolen knitting in each pavilion
A lot of flower seedlings
Trading is a delicate matter, Petrukha ..... who knows how to communicate, he trades.
Very friendly and pleasant sellers in the market. You can talk anywhere and are very responsive. And what else is needed for the market? I would not like to say that there is a wide variety of everything, a lot of things are the same, but everything you need is there.
It is also a market in Abkhazia. Bargain, the discount will be mandatory. Take a walk, ask around for prices, taste it. We took fruits very tasty and inexpensive!
There is a large selection of everything delicious, the sellers are responsive, you can bargain, the market itself is clean, it is better to look for parking in advance, since everything is mostly occupied near the market
An atmospheric place. The Abkhazian spirit and generosity are felt. They gave me everything I could try. A very good selection of things and products. The prices are reasonable
We decided to traditionally go to the market, we were here in 15-16 and were poisoned with tangerine juice. A lot has already been written about sanitation and, indeed, in such heat, with so many flies and pigeons, it is unlikely that you will not get poisoned
BUT that's not the worst part. The whole impression was completely ruined by two gypsies who catch tourists floating in the clouds literally by hand and begin to wind strings. Then they ask for a thousand rubles for each thread. Don't stop, walk past and don't listen
A good market , from the grand hotel Abkhazia where we lived , a 10-minute walk , there is everything , souvenirs , food , only fruits are not very ripe , because they were in early July , the locals have not yet ripened.
Gagra Market is another attraction, no kidding. I especially like it when it's the local fruit season.
The covered pavilion sells sausages, local products, suluguni cheese, spices, chacha tea and churchkhela, of course.
There are a lot of souvenirs for sale, there are also things.
If you are in Gagra, then you definitely need to visit it. I recommend.
I love this market, they sell wonderful seasonings,my old longtime friend, if you know who and what to buy,they sell fine cheese, but not everywhere, always fresh meat,ajinjukh is also not delicious everywhere, but for the new year tangerines,oranges,I definitely recommend this market to visit
If you want to plunge into history, go.
The condition of 30 years ago is provided for you.
There is a variety. The color. You could even say edible. But I can't judge how much you will want to buy it.
One thing is for sure. If you can find a nearby bakery where they bake tortillas in a tandoor. Take it without hesitation. Two. Eat one without leaving the cash register. You can even use cheese bought at the bazaar. The second one, of course, may not get home either ... :)
It's a pity they only accept cash or transfer by phone number if you have a local SIM card or roaming is enabled.
Good local products, sellers give everything on trial, there were no problems with the digestive tract, everything is very tasty, fresh. Fruits, cheeses, meat, churchkhela, spices, prices are reasonable
It was interesting to take a walk .
I brought a lot of interesting things from this market for adults and children.
The market is located right next to the Wellness Park hotel, very convenient.
The market is very terrible, there is deception all around. There is practically no homemade food or fruit there, some products are generally overpriced and more expensive than somewhere in the city. And the very quality of the products would like to be better, everything is in the sun, everything deteriorates, no unsanitary conditions, passing by at 2 p.m. I see how supposedly smoked or fried mussels lie in the sun and the seller drives away flies, well, it's just tin. Cheese is more expensive than in the store, sausages are also what people buy there, I do not understand, it is dangerous to buy anything there at all! And I'm sorry, it's strange in which both fruits and vegetables should grow, there are practically none here, and everything imported is very expensive.
This market was bought before leaving, which I regret))) on the 2nd floor, where you can climb with a stroller, there is a department with a nice lady))) and here you can buy all sorts of little things and find out the information you need))) next, you will discover a world of taste for sweet tooth and meat tooth))))) we were cut off to taste the sausage, tender and delicious ;) we made a discount on locally made cheese and treated them to a pastille))) I advise everyone to visit the market......especially the second floor)))
A great place for those who went further towards Sukhum, do not be afraid to forget something on the way back, be sure to visit. There is everything, but it is cheaper than in other places. The vaunted adjika is much cheaper than on the entire coast, including Russia, I recommend
A large selection of local fruits, sweets, and wines. I think everyone will find something for souvenirs at the right price. We bought souvenirs here ourselves. We are happy with all the purchases.
The choice of products is not bad, there is delicious meat and cheeses. Marshmallows are rarely good. And no one really shows the scales when they weigh. There is almost always a feeling that they want to cheat you. There is not a friendly attitude everywhere.
In summer, the market is unbearably stuffy. DO NOT TAKE STRIPED SMALL MELONS, they are not for food, they are fodder. We were gullibly given 2 tiny melons for 500 rubles. Having told a colorful story about these melons. It tastes like it sucks, and they also shit further away from them than they saw. Prices are average, they do not want to bargain, so the price of goods is usually the same for all sellers. For some products, for example souvenir magnets, the price is too high. Nuts are sold old, with rot and mold. Churchkhela is made from the same nuts. You will learn from these surprises from the first bite. In general, those who do not know the market prices of the same Adler should not go. In any case, they are deceived and sold, the same from the Russian market, but more expensive.
There is a lot of assortment of goodies, a lot of national different products, but you need to know who to buy it from, and not everyone can cook like them, you need to look carefully so as not to be deceived by price and weight, the coolest spices in the middle of the market are written by Zhanna always gives gifts and puts a lot of spices she does not regret))
Good afternoon, everyone. I have visited this market many times. A peculiar aura and atmosphere. The quality of products and prices is a controversial issue. Everything is for the amateur. Just be careful, vigilant, and don't trust words and promises.
In the market you will find a large number of spices, fruits/vegetables, wine and cigarettes.
There are 2 cheese counters, a beef counter (skinny fillets on bones for broth only. There is no good meat) Pork is sold opposite. Freezing. They say the neck. But in fact, carbonade or ham. We didn't find any minced meat!
The fish is scarce. There are also 2 counters. Fresh mullet and mullet. The lamb can also be fried there.
You need to look for cottage cheese, milk, sour cream and eggs. There is no meat of chicken and other birds.
A great place, a large selection of souvenirs, local wine, tea and spices. Spices are very fragrant, they can not be found in stores, and if there are, then with prices that are many times higher.
Everything is there. But we have to bargain. In the morning they offer to taste chacha. But it's not mine. The fruits are fresh and delicious. The people are friendly. You just need to talk and smile more and get a smile instead...
If you come from 7 to 9 in the morning (ideally at 8), you can get to the sellers of fresh fish, cakes and meat. After 9, the market will no longer be so full. Very tasty suluguni can be bought here at this time (then it will just be sold out)
Gypsies have good Turkish textiles for those who are looking for cheaper
Cheap and REAL greens are on the rise near the fish department
And of course pita bread! Cheap and very hot, you won't want to eat after it)
The market is like everywhere else . But I recommend very high quality products. There is a dining room where you can eat and there is a bathroom. The market is located in the building and on the street in tents.
We lived nearby. It was very convenient. All fruits and vegetables are available at affordable prices. There is a huge amount of spices in the indoor market. A normal selection of manufactured goods, beach accessories. In a row along the road there is a stall with beautiful carved wooden icons. The owner said that they are made at the Ilora temple and they are consecrated. Anyway, you can't check, but I took one and I really like it.
A good market. There are many products that you need at an affordable price. The choice is very good. There is a wholesale store nearby - the prices are just SUPER.
A very good market, you can bargain. In addition to the pavilion and shopping malls, fresh vegetables , fruits and berries , homemade cheeses, smoked meat are brought every day, and sometimes it is not very necessary to visit adjika. But you have to go to the delivery in the morning, before 12.00. almost everything is sold out. Spices deserve special praise, we buy a universal one, that is, with me, the seller pours 10 = 12 types of spices into one container, we and all our relatives and friends are delighted with this seasoning. When we are going to Abkhazia, they order everything, we buy for 5 = 6 thousand rubles. If someone is interested, I advise you to enter the central pavilion from the facade to the left of the first tray with spices, the seller is a woman of Slavic appearance, I cannot vouch for others.
Just for the opportunity to go back to last summer for 30, thank you very much!!! I remembered the market in Kemerovo or Novosibirsk! A cardboard box under your feet to try on jeans, "let's go back here later", delicious chebureks))) Be sure to visit, for me a completely useless place in practical terms, but very atmospheric! Abkhazia as a whole is like this, good, simple people live here with their own mentality and way of life, it is often not pretentious and pompous, but sincere and hospitable! Greetings from Adler, dear neighbors, we are waiting for the tires!
The market is big. We liked it better inside the building itself and already in the parking lot (there are also merchants there). It's quieter there, the prices seemed a little lower. In general, the price tag for tourists, the scope of the capital)))
The market as a market) like all markets) there are many shops with souvenirs, products and all sorts of things) it is definitely worth visiting if you like to wander around such places and bargain with the local population)
The market is saturated, but it's cheaper on the street. Sweets are the same everywhere in principle in terms of price, but you need to try, because everything is prepared differently and tastes very different.
