Grocery Stores and Market
Within a 3–7 minute walk of the estate there are three grocery stores and a daily market (bazaar) on Tsentralna Street. The market has local vegetables and fruits, homemade jams, honey, mushrooms (in season), cheeses, and sausages. Shayan has no chain supermarkets — it is a small resort village — but the basics are always in stock.
Cook for yourself — equipment in the apartments
Each apartment has a multicooker or microwave (chosen at booking), a kettle, a full set of dishware, and a refrigerator — enough for preparing simple dishes.
A full kitchen with an electric cooktop is available only in apartment N8 — the perfect choice for those planning to cook for themselves.
