The Çaltılı Baths are a traditional Ottoman hammam in Savaştepe District, Balıkesir Province in northwestern Turkey, serving the agricultural community of this inland district in the Kaz Dağları foothills region. Balıkesir Province is dotted with small Ottoman hammams that once provided essential bathing services to rural communities spread across the fertile plains and uplands of the southern Marmara hinterland. The Çaltılı Baths reflect the reach of Ottoman public hygiene infrastructure into smaller communities beyond the main provincial centers.
