Argo Cable Car
საბაგირო არგო
A sightseeing cable car that climbs from near the old town harbor to Mt. Anuria, where the hilltop restaurant offers panoramic views of Batumi and the Black Sea at night.
The Argo Cable Car opened in 2012. It runs about 2.6 km, departing from the lower station near the old town port and climbing about 10 minutes to the upper station on Anuria Mountain at roughly 250 meters. The summit observation deck and restaurant overlook the whole city, the harbor, and the Black Sea coastline. On clear days you can see toward the Turkish border, and sunsets and night lights are especially enchanting. The cabins are fully enclosed. Tickets are sold for round trips, and the cable car runs until late at night. Expect queues in the evenings during peak season.
