Argo Cable Car

The Argo cable car is one of the most exciting and popular attractions of modern Batumi, opened in 2013. While the mythical Jason traveled for years to Colchis on the ship "Argo", modern travelers only need 10-15 minutes to ascend above the city and enjoy breathtaking views.

The cable car begins its journey from the lower station on Gogebashvili Street, next to the seaport, and lifts passengers to Mount Feria, at an elevation of more than 250 meters above sea level. The length of the cable car is about 2.6 kilometers. The ride takes place in comfortable modern enclosed gondolas, each accommodating up to 6-8 people. During the smooth ascent, stunning panoramic views of all Batumi open up: its old and new quarters, the port, Batumi Boulevard, the Black Sea, and the surrounding mountains. At the top of the mountain, passengers find the "Argo" cultural and entertainment complex featuring equipped observation decks, cafes, a restaurant, souvenir shops, and a small church.

The Argo cable car enjoys enormous popularity among tourists at any time of year. Many recommend making the ascent both during the day to take in the city in detail (a coin-operated telescope is available on the viewing platform) and in the evening when Batumi lights up with thousands of illuminations, creating a truly magical atmosphere. This unforgettable journey lets you see the full beauty of the Adjarian capital from a bird’s-eye view and is a must-visit item for guests in Batumi.
