Batumi has its own small airport, very close to the city.
It is about 7 km from the old town and only about 3 km from the boulevard.
If you take a lobg walk along the boulevard, you can even reach the runway. It starts immediately behind the beach, so if you want, you can take a look at the airplanes flying overhead.
The airport is small and there isn’t much to do there, so I don’t advise you to come to early before your flight.
All in all, the airport offers:
- A cafe.
- ATM.
- Currency exchange. The course is pretty much the same as in other places, without additional commissions.
- It is stated that there is a service for packing suitcases, but it is not always available) Sometimes the right person is absent, and on such days the luggage will not be packed.
- It is declared that there is free Wi-Fi, I’m not sure if it’s true.
- A souvenir shop.
- Tourist information center. If open, you can turn to them if you have any issues, or simply to take brochures about Batumi, Adjara and other regions. And I suggest you do this, because that they are very well-designed and contain a lot of useful information. And completely free.
- If you arrive or departure at night — all of the above will be closed, except for the ATM.
Parking in the airport is paid, costs 2 lari (for a day or for 5 minutes — doesn’t matter).

How to get to Batumi from the airport
There are several ways to get to the city center:
- Transfer. If ordered in advance, it is an excellent way to get a greet and meet service and to pay less than a taxi.
- City buses №9 and №10. The stop is right at the entrance to the airport, there you can find an electronic board which shows how soon the bus will come. Unfortunately, this is a rather long way — Batumi buses are really slow going. And this option isn’t suitable for tourists arriving at night.
- Taxi. Private cars, who are on duty at the airport, charge higher prices. It is cheaper to use Taxi Maxim or Yandex Taxi.
- Rent a Car. You can order that the car to the airport by the time of your arrival.
