A member of the Cittaslow movement, Tarakli features cobblestone streets and architecture dating back to the Ottoman Empire.[3] The town has undergone extensive renovations and has gained attention as a tourist destination.[4] A local bazaar offers handmade crafts like wooden combs and spoons.[5] Nearby attractions include thermal springs, the Karagöl Plateau, and Hark Canyon and Cave.[6]

The Yunus Pasha Mosque, built in 1517 by Ottoman architect Mimar Sinan, lies at the center of Tarakli.[7] It was built with molten lead and heated from below with steam from an adjacent public bath.[4]
