In the Joltai village of Gagauzia, live and works the honored artist of Moldova and the “golden voice of Gagauzia” Petr Petcovici, who founded the ethno-mansion in the traditional Gagauz style. Today at the mansion, you can get acquainted with the life and traditions of the locals, look at the old methods of weaving, try on the national costumes, taste the traditional cuisine. In addition, you can take part in an unusual masterclass on susac burning.
Susac is an object used in the daily life of Gagauzians, which is nothing more than a decorative pumpkin used for home needs. In cleaned and dried pumpkins are stored cereals, spices, also can be used in storage of oils, milk or honey. Decorative pumpkins are grown as usual, except that in the early stage of growth, they can be given the desired shape, depending on the purpose for which they will be used. Such pumpkin vessels are very light, have a beautiful golden color, and the ornamental burning on them will bring you great pleasure.
You can visit the Gagauz ethno-estate of P. Petkovich, as part of our tours to Gagauzia:
