Kahramanmaras, known as the capital of ice cream, is a bustling city despite being located in the Mediterranean region of our country, which is known for its crowded cities. Although it is located in the Mediterranean Region, it feels like a different place, but Kahramanmaras, also known as Maraş, is actually a very lively city. It's a typical Anatolian city, but you can find many things you're looking for here: nature, history, and cuisine... Planning a nice trip/tour to this heroic city of the War of Independence will do you good.
Kahramanmaras, which has hosted many civilizations starting from the Hittites period, is one of our special cities that has melted these civilizations in its pot. You can see this special accumulation of thousands of years from the past to the present by visiting Maras. Especially, the architecture that turns into a visual feast in stone buildings will mesmerize you. Known as a center of flavor, Kahramanmaras will leave beautiful tastes on your palate and in your heart with its unique regional flavors, especially its ice cream. When you come to this city, which is also famous for its icy water sources and clean air, you will also do something good for your health.
There are many historical sites and tourist attractions to visit in Kahramanmaras. Among these are; the Grand Mosque, Kahramanmaras Castle, Taşhan (an old stone inn), and the Archaeology Museum. The villages, plateaus, historical, and modern structures of Kahramanmaras are waiting for you.
Although the city generally has a Mediterranean climate, which means a hot climate, continental climate conditions are observed as the altitude increases. Therefore, Maras tours are mostly done in the time frame between spring and autumn. The prestigious Sütçü İmam University and Elbistan thermal power plants, which are our ancient and established universities, have added a different dimension to the city and have attracted some migration from neighboring provinces. Recently, Kahramanmaras, which has been given the title of metropolitan municipality by the municipality, has quite adequate urban services. Maras, which has a separate importance in our independence history, has been deemed worthy of the title 'Heroic' by the Grand National Assembly of Turkey due to its struggle shown in the War of Independence. We invite you to this city to get to know Kahramanmaras, which has played a great role in the establishment of our country, and its people more closely.
