Adler is a gentle Black Sea, healing sea air and palm trees. But that's not all. There are also fruits, local sweets and wines. To visit the “blueiest in the world” of the Black Sea and not to eat Abkhazian tangerines and churchkhela? This does not happen. All this can be bought, naturally, in the market.
Where is the main adler market
Where is the market in Adler? Where any eastern bazaar is in the center, and all roads lead there. So much so in the center that now it is planned to build a multi-level parking lot in its place in the fight against the famous Sochi traffic jams, because it is located almost on the main highway.
The main market in Adler is located in the historical center. Streets Democratic, Kirov and Lenin form a kind of triangle, which is a favorite place for shopping for locals and visitors. The reference point is the automobile bridge over the Mzymta River.
How to get to the market in Adler
Previously, in the old part you could walk from the station to the market, so small was Adler. The central market today is separated by a new traffic intersection built for the Sochi Olympics, which is too large and inconvenient for walking. Therefore, it is better to go from the station to the central market by shuttle bus. Any minibus going towards Psou along Lenin Street, the main highway of the city, will take you to the place. It is difficult to make a mistake, since the stop near the market is official, and there are relevant signs on public transport. But you may have to ask the way from the stop, because the coveted container of goodies closes the shopping center.
On foot, you can walk to the central market in Adler from the promenade: between the Fregat Hotel and the Flagman Cafe along K. Marx Street to ul. Krupskaya, turn right, down to Democratic. And moving along it from the sea, it is impossible to bypass the market. However, there is a problem - you have to move against the stream, because local vacationers first go for fruit or something else, and then - on the beach, to the sea and the sun.
In general, walking along the old Adler does not cause problems, and you can walk to the market on foot from any place if desired. If the transport schemes at the stops of public transport do not help, then the language will certainly be brought.
What does Adler's central market sell?
For fruit, even from Sochi, where there is a market, go to Adler. Market prices are lower, however, not by much and not by all goods. Fruits and vegetables are mainly brought from the Kuban, from Abkhazia or Turkey. Local - except for seafood, honey and cheese, but the market does not suffer from this. An abundance of various smells meets visitors from the entrance, it is impossible to describe the colors in words.
Spices and spices in various combinations in artistic performance, figs, tangerines, black and white grapes, glossy colored sticks of churchkhela lie, hang, stand tightly tight on the shelves. Anyone who comes to Adler can see this beauty and even buy it.
The central market can please lovers of homemade wines and spirits. True, it is unsafe to make such purchases on the market - according to the opinions of victims, there are fakes.
But the store of Kuban wines and a bakery with pita bread received the highest praise.
You can buy it, although the market in Adler is not the only place where it is sold, and rainbow trout. She is brought from a fish-breeding complex in Krasnaya Polyana.
Where is the Cossack market located and what it sells
Adler is also the village of Veseloe in the Imereti Bay. This is the southernmost part of Greater Sochi. One of the attractions of the Fun is the Cossack Market. It is cheaper than markets both in the center of Adler and in Sochi. The prices of fruits and vegetables are affected by the proximity of the border with Abkhazia, from where they are mainly delivered. If you already carry Abkhazian tangerines home across all Russia, then you need to buy them here.
They bring here to sell Abkhazian wines and chacha, sweets and spices, local nuts grown in the south, persimmons, feijoa and bananas.
Connoisseurs recommend dried persimmons - the most local delicacy.
The bazaar is a bazaar - here not only prices are one and a half times lower than in the central market, but you can also bargain from the heart.
You can get on any minibus with the inscription "Psou" to the border post, where, in fact, the market is located. If there are no traffic jams, then the road from Adler takes less than half an hour.
What to drive home from the south
Many people bring home not only citrus fruits from Abkhazia, which the Cossack market is famous for. Adler offers guests memorable souvenirs, which can also be useful, and wicker baskets, and a variety of mountain teas in plain and gift packaging.
Homemade wines and tinctures can be not only grape. There are hardly any places in Russia where you can try blackberry wine.
The pastille and churchkhela, mountain honey, nuts, Caucasian spices and jam from young pine cones will take the road well.
Useful gifts that any market in Adler offers are knitwear made from goat hair, warm and beautiful hats, socks, and belts for radiculitis.
Juniper products are also varied, they smell especially long, reminding of rest on the Black Sea, hot coasters.
What to try on vacation
Before choosing wine for wines, one must carefully try wines and drinks, sometimes all rest (in order to bring home bought, the will must be strong and seasoned).
You can not ignore the local fish - grass carp, Black Sea flounder, smoked omul, asp and trout. These delicacies - barbecue from mussels and raps - you need to enjoy on the spot, take away with you will not succeed.
Delicate fruits that cannot be delivered to ripe are also sold at the markets, while immature ones have the wrong taste and aroma. Therefore, on vacation, if, of course, the season allows, you need to try feijoa and medlar, the useful properties of which are undeniable.
No matter how little time trips to large markets take, during the holiday season you first of all want to enjoy the sea and the sun.
In extreme heat, when you can’t lie down on the beach, you don’t really want to walk along the fruit rows. There are small markets in many places, including the resort town. They do not differ in the variety of goods, and prices are not spoiled, but you can buy watermelon or some fruit for each day completely.
