Take a BUS to / around Kerch!!!

Kerch is a provincial center that also caters for the many Russian tourists in summertime, so there are many "modern" shops in the coblestone pedestrian streets in the city center. The main shopping activities of the locals are, however, concentrated at the huge open markets adjoining the central bus station of the town. Just cross the small channel that runs parallel to the station and you ll enter the popular market area where several market halls with food and all sorts of commodities are on sale; all properly hygienic and quite safe on daytime!
Be prepared to negotiate abit for a better price, no problem if you do not speak any Russian, it can waork anyway!
What to buy: All sorts of food, electronics, clothes, photo equipment, soviet tools!
