The Georgian city of Batumi on the Black Sea coast is developing a new entertainment complex on nearby Anuria Mountain. An 8-passenger gondola lift connects it to the city center. Inland, the port city of Batumi is surrounded by steep hills. While the suburbs are built on the hillsides, the magnificent old town borders on the sea.  From here, within sight of the university and the large cargo port, a gondola lift now leads up to the site of an entertainment complex with shops, cafés and a casino which lies 250 m above the city center.
