Experience Odessa as a local

Interested in seeing local life? Visit local markets. Or in Odessa, we call them bazars. We'll head to Odessa's most famous market, Privoz. Called the "stomach of Odessa", it boasts endless rows of stalls with home made sausages, feta cheese, fish, fruits and veggies. We'll introduce you to our favorite vendors. We'll try homemade sausage and feta cheese. From the market, we'll go to explore Odessa's famous neighborhood Moldavanka. Once it was Odessa's largest suburb with its own very distinctive character. It was as ethnically diverse as Odessa itself. A Greek lived there next door to a Jew, Bulgarian, Russian, Moldavian, German and Ukrainian. Moldavanka still boats its unique ambiance, cute old courtyards and lots of street cats.

    This is the most famous Odessa's historic neighborhood outside the old town. It was the largest suburb in the 19th century, initially as culturally diverse as the city itself. By the end of the 19th cent it became dominated by the poor Jews. Although today part of the city center, it managed to preserve its own distinctive ambiance.
