Those who are looking for something old and interesting, both for the sake of curiosity and in order to replenish their collections with retro gizmos, can visit the flea markets of Sevastopol.
Flea market near the stop "Hospital complex"
Local sellers, mostly elderly people, sell books and magazines, toys, old clothes and shoes, dishes, coins and badges, gramophone records, hand-made products, jewelry and other goods, laid out right on the ground, covered with bedspreads or oilcloth.
The flea market does not have an exact working schedule, since it is considered a spontaneous (illegal) flea market.
Flea market behind the Peter and Paul Cathedral
At this flea market, which unfolds on weekends and is called "slides", you can acquire artifacts of the 1000-year history of Sevastopol and Chersonesos, antique coins, naval goods, ship watches, old photographs and postcards, rare books, napkin holders, pots and other kitchen utensils, icons, bronze candelabra, bullets from the Second World War, all kinds of figurines, if you are lucky, then rings and other Scythian decorations (it should be borne in mind that such things are not openly laid out by sellers on improvised counters - sellers of “their” customers can be seen from afar and may not be true "treasures").
