Pryvidok
Pryvidok is a quiet seaside town. It is known for fishing, beaches, tourism, shopping and crafting. There is a lumberyard South-West of town. The town is suburban and flat. It is directly by the beach and the sea. There are a few resorts, a municipal market and a high street full of shops and cafes. There are also docks by the beach, where fishing vessels, yachts and a patrol boat can be seen. Near here is also the town's token Militia garrison. In truth the locals are fine with the policing offered by their sheriff's department, but the garrison also runs a recruitment station that sees a few people sign on each year - just enough to stay open. Aside from this, the town is also home to a working water purification plant, which is an enormous boon to residents and visitors. Outside of town, atop one hill to the East, is a large bed and breakfast that is said to be one of the most historic buildings on the continent. Sadly, it and much of the town have lost a lot of visitors since the AFFC's arrival on planet.
High Street
Various shops, cafes and tourist traps can be found on the main pedestrian high street of Pryvidok. The locals primarily speak Hungarian, but they can all speak English just fine too. A few also speak Greek. Most common items can be found in the shops here. More attractive are the little cafes you can go to for a quiet drink.
The High Street is open EM to LE.
Municipal Market
Often buzzing in summer, the town's municipal market is still open daily even in spring. It's not too busy thankfully. Fresh produce, nit-knacks and local crafts are all popular. Some of the stands sell street food along with t-shirts and jewellery. Nobody seems to sell personal weapons, although there are a few shops with a back section with older goods. A few even boast Star League items and Mech equipment, but that's hard to believe.
The Market is open EM to LA.
Beachview Fine Dining
Beachview Fine Dining is a modest looking restaurant that nonetheless has the best reputation in Pryvidok. Some restaurants are most expensive or more exclusive, but none are more popular than this. It is especially well known for its fish and poultry meals, which are always made with fresh local ingredients. The prices are a little high, but for the quality and the breath taking view, most would agree it is worth it. A three course meal with a glass of wine would be around 5 C-Bills.
It is open EA to LE.
Windyridge Guest House
A historic building overlooking the ocean from atop a hill. The caves below can be seen better from a viewing platform and are said to have once been used for smuggling. The Guest House itself is a large bed and breakfast with a beautiful garden. Lunch and dinner can be arranged for guests or visitors at a premium. Since the invasion of the AFFC the Guest House has seen all its guests leave, so it is empty save for the owner and a few staff. It is nonetheless always open. A single bedroom for a night is 10 C-Bills per night. A double room is 15 C-Bills. Full breakfasts are included for guests.
Gleaming Bay
The bay that Pryvidok is built on and around is a picturesque one, with multiple long sandy beaches and untouched surroundings. The large rocks jutting up from the water are particularly memorable and feature in many local paintings and pictures. While the water is cold, a wet suit makes it tolerable enough for some to go for a swim. Very few swim without one, although there are a few tough old locals that do so. Most prefer to simply walk the beach or to have a picnic up on the hills of the bay.
