Kutaisi Green Bazaar (Central Market)
ქუთაისის ცენტრალური ბაზარი
One of the liveliest farmers' markets in western Georgia, overflowing with Imereti cheese, churchkhela, spices, and fruit.
The Central Market, known as the Green Bazaar, is just a few minutes' walk north of the Colchis Fountain. Inside and outside the main building, stalls are piled with Imereti cheese, churchkhela (walnut-and-grape-must candy strings), adjika chili paste, Svan salt, spices, and seasonal fruit. You can sample before you buy, and prices are lower than in Tbilisi. The market is busiest in the morning, and some stalls close in the afternoon. It is crowded, so keep an eye on your belongings. It's a great place to pick up snacks and souvenirs to take home.
