G.U.M Market

Yerevan


The displays of fresh and dried fruits at this covered market are pretty as a picture. In summer, radiant peaches, cherries, apricots and berries decorate the stalls. Dried fruits and nuts are found year-round, including strings of syrup-coated walnuts known as sweet sujuk. There are also veggies, herbs, basturma (cured ham) and blocks of cheese. Come hungry as vendors give samples.
