PRIVOZ MARKET TOUR AND MOLDAVANKA

Odessa Privoz Market tour and Moldavanka. Visit Odessa’s famous Privoz market and explore enchanting Moldavanka neighborhood.

We’ll start the tour with the famous Privoz market, called by the locals Odessa’s “stomach”. Strolling through its food pavilions we explore local eating habits, see the variety of regional foods and watch Odesseans shop. Odessa Privoz market tour offers the most adventures guests and foodies a chance to taste local food. You can try a selection of home-made sausage from a Ukrainian village, cottage and feta cheese (aka “brinza”) from a Bulgarian village and Black Sea sardines.

From Privoz we’ll walk to Moldavanka. Famous for its courtyards and red cats Moldavanka is often perceived as a Jewish ghetto of the 19^th century Odessa. Is it true? How did this neighborhood appear and developed? Why did it get a criminal flavor?

We’ll stroll the Moldavanka’s main avenues and sneak a peek behind the façade’s of the buildings, we’ll check courtyards with a symbol of Moldavanka, an old dovecoat, and visit the Jewish hospital.

And we certainly follow in the footsteps of Isaac Babel’s characters and explore Moldavanka sights described in his Tales of Odessa.
