Turkbuku side street leading to TarotDuring my day trip to Türkbükü, I wandered up a cobbled street framed with a cramped collection of sign posts. I figured a side street offering this much direction, had something to offer.

I was right!

Tarot La Terapi Building in TurkbukuFirst, housed in an angelic white building, I encountered “Tarot La Therapi“. As the name suggests, this isn’t your run-of-the-mill Tarot Reading establishment. This, is Tarot Therapy!

It’s the first Tarot business I’ve spotted in Turkey, and it brought a smile to my lips because I’m a closet Tarot Card collector. I find Tarot imagery enticing – and although I’m not adept at reading The Cards, I appreciate them as little, symbolic-soaked works of art.

I resisted the urge to pop in for a reading, and instead, kept wandering up the cobbled street and off the beaten track.

Turkbuku Mosque, TurkeyAt the end of the street, ideally situated next the to a Barbers Shop – was the town Mosque.

Both of these establishments - accepted forms of Therapy in their own right.

One brings you to your knees for a a private conversation with a Prophet. Whilst the other brings you to your seat, for an animated, soul-cleansing conversation with your barber!

So on one small cobbled street in Türkbükü, I discovered an off-the-beaten track location where a veritable trinity of therapy options converge.
