The city of Kahramanmaras, known as Markasi or Maraj in earlier ages has a long history marked by invasions. It lies 568 meters above sea level and is considered as the 11th largest city in Turkey today. The city was renowned for its participation in the War of Independence which earned it the name “Kahraman” which means “hero”.
The city is even more famous due to its culinary specialty – the Maras ice cream which is available in specialist ice cream shops throughout Turkey and the rest of the world. The ice cream is made of fine goat milk and wild orchid flower roots which can be harvested from the surrounding mountains. It has an elastic consistency, just like bubble gum, the difference is that it melts in your mouth as you chew.
