Privoz was once the largest food market in Odessa, but today, according to local residents, here you can buy “Anything, even a new mom and dad!”
The name Privoz comes from part of the Old Market of Odessa, where non-local goods were brought and traded directly from the carts. The popular place quickly grew, and then gave its name to one of the brightest attractions of Odessa. It is believed that it was Privoz who gave the world the famous Odessa humor.
