Prices in Crimea are quite low, despite the fact that recently the cost of almost all goods has risen by about 30%. But you shouldn't come here for expensive accessories, perfumes and clothes, since their cost on the peninsula is about the same as in Moscow.
Shopping and souvenirs
When shopping in Crimea, you should buy inexpensive souvenirs in the form of jewelry and aromatic oils. If your goal is to save money, then it is advisable to come to the peninsula during the sales season (at the end of winter and summer).
It is worth bringing from Crimea:
- Crimean wines of Massandra, Koktebel, Inkerman; Saki mineral water; various sweets;
- marine attributes (corals, starfish, shell jewelry);
- souvenirs made of wood (kitchen utensils, boxes) and onyx.
If you decide to buy Crimean wines, then, for sure, you are interested in their approximate cost. So, for example, for a bottle of "Ai-Serez" you will give about 200 rubles, for "Cabernet" - 170, and for "Black Doctor" - 450 rubles.
