Hi, I'm Machan and I want to share photos of my trip to a seaside town.

Anzali is one of the northern cities, next to the Caspian Sea and one of the free zones of Iran
Anzali port is located in Gilan province and is the largest port in northern Iran.
This city is the land of water lilies and what makes this port wonderful is the beautiful beaches, lush nature, warm-hearted people, abundant handicrafts and fresh agricultural products.
In addition to the city's tourist attractions, there are many commercial complexes, #traditional markets and shopping malls in the city.

I want to talk about the local market of this city

In most countries of the world, there are common markets that are set up only on a certain day and are named depending on the day of the week in which vendors are set up.
Among the markets of Anzali, Saturday Bazaar (a market that opens on Saturday) is famous and popular.

This market is one of the old markets of this city and is more than 70 years old.
If you want to shop like most people in this city, go to Anzali city center on Saturdays.
If you are a cook, you can buy all the local organic and healthy agricultural products fresh in this market.
From the distant past, people from villages around Anzali and even cities around and far and near came to this market to sell their products.

Agricultural products such as fruits and vegetables, agricultural products such as the best homemade pomegranate paste, olives and olive oil to the handicrafts of the people of the north of our country such as mats, baskets and beautiful woolen handicrafts can be purchased from this market.

The sale of eggs, chicken and roosters for cooking is also common in this market.
The traditional weekly market of Anzali or Saturday Bazaar is in fact an exhibition of rural products and indigenous culture of the north of our country for tourists.
