Marmaris is well known as a holiday destination among those who love sand, sea, blue skies and a lively atmosphere, but it is not just Marmaris by day that attracts its many fans. The nightlife in this buzzing Turkish seaside town is great fun too. Whether you want to hit the nightclubs and bars or want to go local and enjoy some belly dancing or folklore bands, there is something for everyone here.
This is a tourist destination after all, but the locals have made a great effort to provide you with the opportunity to appreciate a real Turkish nightlife too. One evening you could enjoy a meze banquet under the stars and the next you could be watching colourful dancers wearing traditional dress and acting out ancient stories through dance.
Here are our favourite places to go out and enjoy Marmaris by night.

Marmaris Movies and Theatres
There are many movie theatres in Marmaris and one of the best is located on Netsel Marina.
