This is where Taraklı's pulse beats - this giant plane tree that has stood for seven centuries. With its thick, forking trunk and its lake-wide leaves, it is a witness that has borne the full weight of time at the center of the village. In Taraklı, which has changed little since Ottoman times, the tree has been loved and respected by the locals for offering natural coolness among the stone houses and for being the heart of social life and trade. An interesting detail: this plane tree's deep-reaching roots have kept it resistant to drought over the centuries; locals hail it as the region's lifeblood and a symbol of endurance. During your visit, you can sit in its shade with a cup of local tea while gazing at Taraklı's old stone houses, and listen to the silent stories of this ancient tree and the rustling of its leaves in the wind.
