Who has a reason to go to the flea markets in Sochi? For someone whose goal is to find vintage things, update a suit without spending the lion's share of their budget, and also become the proud owner of antique dishes, a rare piece of furniture or interior design.
Roaming flea market
This flea market got its name due to the fact that it changed its location more than once (today it is located on Novoselov Street). This flea market sells attributes of the near and long past in the form of cameras, vintage dresses, videotapes, radios, gramophones, sets, old umbrellas and hats.
Market on Tchaikovsky Street
At this flea market (“shopping arcades” unfold in the middle of residential buildings) residents of Sochi gather in order to sell old things and things that have already become unnecessary. Here you can get copper and brass utensils, gramophones, headlights, coins, stamps, radios, televisions, unusual interior details in the form of an old casket or vase. Important: since the sellers are most often elderly people, the assortment of goods displayed at the flea market is appropriate (you will not find a fashionable blouse here).
Other retail outlets in Sochi
Travelers should pay attention to the "Collector's Shop" (address: Egorova Street, 1; open for visits every day from 10 am to 5-6 pm, except Sundays). This place is visited mainly by numismatists not only to buy something (the shop sells old coins, coin albums, badges and other items that may interest collectors), but also to make a profitable exchange.
Seekers of used and interesting things may be interested in second-hand Sochi:
- “Fashionable apartment” (address: Vorovskogo street, 50): here you can not only get second-hand clothes, but also admire the original interior (here you can see porcelain dolls of the past centuries, which are collected by the owner of this “institution”).
- "Eurotex" (address: Uchitelskaya street, 6; Gagarina street, 4; open for visiting from 9 am to 8 pm): visiting this flea market, you can be sure that you have high-quality clothes and shoes of a well-known brand, and not a Chinese fake (things come here from Europe). In addition to everyday things, you can find original and exclusive “exhibits” here.
- “On the Planet” (address: Batumskoe shosse, 63a; open daily without interruption from 11:00 to 20:00): it is recommended to go here for the fair sex - here they will be able to acquire not only second-hand clothes, but also original hats, handbags and backpacks.
Leaving Sochi, do not forget to buy Krasnodar tea, Olympic-themed souvenirs (look at the Bosco store at the Marine Station), local wines, honey and honey desserts.
