Insider tip — 'Tarihi Tüfekçi Hamamı' (Historic Gunsmith's Hammam) in Kahramanmaraş — a heritage bath named after the tüfekçi (musket-makers/gunsmiths) who historically occupied the adjacent bazaar quarter. Kahramanmaraş had a significant Ottoman-era arms manufacturing tradition; tüfekçiler (gunsmiths) were an important craft guild whose workshops clustered in specific bazaar streets. The hammam served these craftsmen and the surrounding commercial quarter; its 'Tarihi' (historic) designation marks it as one of the city's older surviving Ottoman bath establishments.
