Nighttime activities are concentrated around the harbor, with restaurants lining the wharf from Iskele Meydani all the way into Netsel Marina. Chaos reigns on Haci Mustafa Sokagi, also known as Barlar Sokagi, or Bar Street, characterized by an endless lineup of bars indistinguishable from the Barlar Sokagi in countless seaside resort towns along the coast. Marmaris's version is particularly narrow, so in high season it can get claustrophobic.
More sedate and infinitely more appealing are the art-house movies shown in the open-air theater in Netsel Marina nightly in summer (tel. 0252/412-2708; www.netselmarina.com).
