- Prepare or buy local food from the market. Some local specialities could be smoked fish, Caspian roe, fresh vegetables and bakery fresh bread. Don't forget a bottle of Astrakhan watermelon for desert - it is famous for its incredibly sweet taste.
- Lastly, take along something warm to wear for when the temperature goes down after sunset. Also, don't forget to pack a small trash bag to clean up your picnic spot afterwards.
Some tips:
- Remember to check the time for sunset โ you wouldnโt want to miss it! Try to arrive a little earlier than the actual sunset time to choose the best spot and set up your picnic.
- Do not forget to pack some insect repellent. It will come in useful as it might get buggy near the river in the evening.
- Last but not least, remember to leave nothing but footprints. Clean up your picnic spot before you leave, taking all your litter away with you. Keep Astrakhan beautiful!
