Privoz

I bring as many years as Odessa - under this name in the 19th century. The Old Bazaar and the Greek Market, which existed here since the founding of the city, merged. Initially, it was the largest food market in Odessa, today it is simply impossible to list the entire range of Privoz.

What can I buy on Privoz? "Anything, even new dad and mom! ", - will answer Odessa. It is believed that it was Privoz, the largest and oldest market in Odessa, who gave the world the famous Odessa humor. Its name came from the part of the market where non-CIS goods were brought and traded directly from the train. The popular place quickly expanded, and then gave the name to one of the brightest sights of Odessa.

At Privoz, first of all it is customary to buy truly Ukrainian products: freshly caught Black Sea fish, lard, fragrant blood sausages, all kinds of pickles, various fruits ... The most important thing - the most intriguing, because private traders, who produce them in small lots, are trading in the market. Moreover, the Privoz is always cheaper than anywhere else - especially if you learn to bargain. However, any product on the Privoz is customary to try - without this, buying is not fun!

From Odessa, so from Privoz itself, you should bring smoked mackerel, dried beef, a bar of "Salo in chocolate", as well as the famous Shustovo cognac and "French Boulevard" champagne
