There's one place in Batumi worth visiting even if you're not catching a flight. Every plane approaches from over the sea, and you can spot them from almost anywhere along the seafront. But one specific spot makes the experience unforgettable the plane spotting point, where aircraft pass right over your head.

Plane spotting means watching aircraft take off and land, usually from a distance with a pair of binoculars. Batumi is different: the runway sits just 250 meters from the shoreline, so planes pass overhead at only 1520 meters roughly the height of a five-story building. The low rumble of the engines builds for a few seconds before the plane passes, then cuts out the moment the wheels touch down.

The spot is marked on Google Maps as "แแแแแแคแ แแแแแแแแ แแแแแแ แแแแแก แฌแแ แขแแแ". It sits on the seafront, wedged between the sea and the airport, near the southern edge of the city. The shore here is covered in large boulders, which make a surprisingly comfortable place to sit while waiting for the next flight.

Right across the road there's a playground, and along the seafront you'll find the Motorcyclist's Memorial a monument featuring a motorcycle helmet and gloves. Add in the sea view and the sunset, and it's worth lingering. A few minutes' walk away is the แแแแฃแแแก แแแ แขแแแ แแแฃแแ, a good way to pass the time between flights.

Planes pass often enough that you don't need a schedule just show up and wait. If you want to time it exactly, check the departure and arrival schedule on the แแแแฃแแแก แแแ แแแแ แขแแก แแแแแแแ แแ. Landing planes fly noticeably lower than departing ones, so if you're short on time, aim to catch an arrival.

There are no shops near the spotting point, and the Georgian sun can be intense even outside summer bring water and something to cool off with.

You can walk to the spotting point along the seafront from the city center. If it's one stop on a longer day say, combined with the Botanical Garden or the Adjara Market a car makes it easier.

If your schedule is tight, check the next arrival time, show up, watch the plane pass, and move on to your next stop. If you've got time to spare, come in the evening once the sun has softened, sit on the rocks by the water, and wait for a plane to pass against the sunset.
