Did you know that the Turkish Aegean’s largest and only muscial fountain is located in the colorful and lively city of Marmaris? A blue cruise from Marmaris will give you the opportunity to see this magnificent feature of the city and a superb idea for your Turkey yacht charter in the Aegean.
This beautiful city square and its incredible musical fountain came to life in May 2012. Since then, it has been the highlight of the city. After sundown, the music begins to play and the lights and water starts to dance to the melody, entertaining hundreds of visitors each night of the week during the Spring, Summer, and Fall.
Should you be spending an overnight stay in the harbor of Marmaris for your blue cruise holidays, why not take a short walk to this splendid place for one of the most pleasant shows on the Aegean coast of Turkey and be a part of the happiness it creates.
The Musical Fountain in Marmaris, also known as the Dancing Fountain, is one of the town’s most popular free attractions and a delightful stop for both tourists and locals.
It is located right in the center of Marmaris, in 19 May Youth Square (19 Mayıs Gençlik Meydanı) — just a short walk from the marina, bazaar, and the old town. It’s easily accessible on foot from most parts of the central district.
Nightly Shows: The fountain comes alive after sunset, usually around 9:00 PM, with colorful lights, synchronized water displays, and music ranging from Turkish pop to classical and international hits.
Free to Watch: There’s no entrance fee, and many people gather in the square to watch the shows, especially families and children.
Surrounding Cafés & Ice Cream Stands: Perfect for grabbing a treat and enjoying the performance from a nearby bench or café.
Daytime View: During the day, the fountain is inactive, but the area still serves as a scenic resting point in the shade of palm trees.
Arrive a bit early to grab a good viewing spot, especially in the summer months.
Great place for evening photos with illuminated jets of water in motion.
Combine your visit with a stroll through the nearby Marmaris Castle, harbor, or bazaar.
