Claim:
1. A liquid ejecting apparatus including an ejecting unit configured to eject liquid to a medium through an ejection port and a moving unit configured to make a relative movement between the ejecting unit and the medium, the liquid ejecting apparatus comprising: a recovering unit that is disposed downstream of the ejecting unit with respect to the relative movement of the medium and at a position at which the recovering unit can face the medium, the recovering unit being capable of recovering mist generated together with a main droplet of liquid ejected by the ejecting unit, the recovering unit including: a recovering portion disposed upstream with respect to the relative movement of the medium so as to recover the mist; and a blowing port that is disposed downstream of the relative movement of the medium with respect to the recovering portion and can blow gas, wherein at the recovering unit, a recess having a ceiling surface capable of facing the medium is formed between the recovering portion and the blowing port at a distance longer than a distance between an ejection port surface and the medium in a case where the ejection port surface of the ejection port of the ejecting unit faces the medium, and the recovering portion and the blowing port are disposed inside of the recess.
