There is a good market, a very large selection, of course smaller than in Tbilisi, but the choice is huge. Rubber slippers and mats were quickly found there, so that it would not hurt to lie on the stones. In terms of clothing, shoes and goods for the home, an excellent choice and adequate prices are valuable. Also fresh fruits)
There is no decent meat in the bag! They lie that they are homemade , but they sell unknown things. They are often deceived, an empty churchkhela is the norm for a tourist. The prices of fruits are more expensive than in the shops near the house. It is worth visiting at least just for an excursion, a colorful place can be found from products that are not in the stalls and there is a choice
Two
slaves went to this market. We were deceived both times. My aunt, right at the entrance, gave me a very tasty churchkhela to try, and threw natural plastic into a bag. The second time - the lovely nuts. Check your purchases right away.
The market is not bad for buying vegetables and spices. It's not worth buying wine, they only sell vinegar. And plus they cheat. They cheated on 40 lari, and upon arrival in the room they poured 5 liters of wine into the sink, bought a liter each from different sellers. It is better to buy wine in the store
It is better not to take packaged berries and fruits, they are normal on top, crumpled and with mold on the bottom. Sellers try to sell more than they need, ignoring objections. Noisy, dirty.
The market of Soviet times is no different from the rest of the southern markets. Sellers do not bother, as many write, it is much worse in our south. Prices for fruits and vegetables are average in the city (cheaper around the corner).
