What a wonderful vacation in Yalta, this pearl of the southern coast of Crimea! Many attractions, historical and cultural monuments, warm, gentle sea, as well as stunningly beautiful Crimean mountains! Tourists not only from the post-Soviet space, but also from all over the world come to Crimea, on its southern coast. And Yalta is the heart of the South Coast. But, as you know, you can relax in different ways. You can buy a ticket to the sanatorium with three meals a day, you can eat in numerous restaurants and cafes, but there is also a third, more budget option. Buy food and cook yourself.
Yalta markets or supermarkets?
You can buy food in supermarkets, markets and small shops. The option with shops will not be the best, primarily because of the small range of products in them. No, of course, if you urgently need to buy bread, water or something like that, then there is no point in going somewhere. It’s easier to cross, for example, a street and buy the required one in the nearest stall. But if we are talking about a one-time purchase of products for several days, then in this case it is better to turn your attention to the markets of Yalta or supermarkets. And again the dilemma: is it still a market or a market? There is a large selection of non-expired goods in the markets (not always, though ...). But in the markets, goods are often fresher, you can bargain here, and, whatever they say, the variety of products is much greater. Plus, the market flavor, related services, shawarma, barbecue ... In general, clearly the choice falls on the market.
Yalta, Central Market on Kievskaya
In Yalta, there are several markets where you can buy food and more. The largest of them is called the Yalta Central Market. It is located at: st. Kiev, 24. It is just in the middle between the bus station and the central part of the city. Not far from the main entrance is the eponymous trolleybus stop. According to official figures, the market should function from eight in the morning until seven in the evening. But the markets of Yalta are no different from the same markets in other cities. Sellers build their schedule themselves, so in the evening it is better to catch there before six o’clock. Immediately upon entering the market, sellers of watermelons and pomegranate juice settled down. Their prices are very high, but they sell really delicious pomegranate juice. So see for yourself, to pass by and look for cheaper options or still take a glass of juice from them.
If you turn right after entering the market, there will be a spice department, and then a meat pavilion with beef, pork, poultry and other types of meat that is the freshest and most inexpensive throughout the South Coast. Not far from the meat department there are sausage, cheese, and a little further and the milk departments. Near the meat pavilion is located fish, which sells fresh and frozen gifts of the Black and other seas. Around the pavilions are vegetable rows with the widest assortment of the freshest vegetables, fruits, herbs and various goodies. The central market in Yalta is the best option to buy inexpensive and fresh products.
