What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Yalta Market offers a vibrant, authentic shopping experience with a strong emphasis on fresh produce, fish, and meats. Visitors appreciate the lively atmosphere and the opportunity to haggle for good prices. However, some find certain vendors overly pushy, and the clothing selection can be inconsistent.
"Good markets, pleasant customers and sellers. Good fish you can buy in fish market that placed in the center of market. You can ask anyone about Lena. It's my mom and she works there. You can say, that your son said that I can buy good fish here. About meat: I can't say that it's good everywhere but you can go to big meat-market and ask about meat you want actually. So next sausages and cheese - the same as meat.You can also argue about price. There are also a lot of clothes but it isn't good as for me and not original."
