Travel Pro Places of Interest #91: Privoz Market in Odessa Ukraine! Part Three (10 photos)
Hey there my Steemit friends! In this Travel Pro Places of Interest Series we focus on specific places of interest for a given location. This may come in the form of parks, museums, beaches, cathedrals, and much more. Always an interesting series and always informative!
The Privoz Market in Odessa Ukraine dates back to 1827! This is a very old market with great history. Part of that history dates back to the 1940s when an Elephant escaped from the nearby zoo and barrelled into the market and turned the produce section into it's own personal buffet.
Moreover this market is claimed to be one of the biggest in the world. In the fall of 2018 I had the pleasure of living in Odessa for a month in my own apartment. I went shopping at this market several times a week. The selection of food was incredible, so were the prices; and the sheer size of the place was at times overwhelming.
Some of the things that stood out was the huge selection of dried seafood caught in the Black Sea which Odessa is located alongside. Georgian bakeries and Turkish imports were equally impressive. A huge selection of pickled food including vendors from South Korea selling home made Kim-Chi was something I bought each week. I recall getting liters of freshly squeezed pomegranate juice for about two dollars.
One huge room the size of a high school gymnasium was just designated to cured meat and cheese, while another two rooms of the same size where designated to fresh meat and poultry. Clothes, electronics, flowers, tools, and much more could all be found at this market. Now lets have a look around during this extensive ten part Travel Pro Series of the Privoz Market in Odessa Ukraine!

This is such an amazing market with an interesting and long history! A perfect #MarketFriday story!
I am so happy to see you posting in the #MarketFriday tag and we just love happening by the Odessa market with you. It is quite the organized set up they have there and how wonderful for you that they are well supplied with everything from soup to nuts.
Oh, fresh Kimchi! Yes! Yes!! You hit one of those Yes, Please buttons on me.
Glad to see that they separate their goods to keep the meats together and the cheeses, etc. I have been to markets where it here, there and everywhere. As I really don't mind that, I don't know when it will be the last showing of an item, so I don't hesitate too much when buying. It does make life interesting though. The market is nice and clean and they have it so organized, it must be a real pleasure to shop there!
Please leave the link to your post here so it can easily be found by others. They are easier to find in one place. Where else can you take such a quick trip around the globe? Thank you so much!! ❤
Upped and I will resteem tomorrow morning so it doesn't get lost!

Thank you so much Denise. I'm so glad you really have taken notice on my work. Maybe even more so that I do. I just load up my blog post on auto post once a week and let the posts flow out. But I'll try to pay attention and link them to your page.
The Kim Chi was a pleasant surprise for sure. In fact I'm now in Bangkok and and I found more kimchi here too and was just eating some in my hotel room as I was doing my "replies"
Anyway. Thanks again for taking note in my blog. It's been so good connecting with you and I sincerely wish you the very best in this new year! Have a great day! -Dan
