ANTALYA

Two Russian tourists have been detained at the airport in the southern province of Antalya while trying to flee Turkey after damaging their hotel room.

The tourists, identified only as Oleg A. and Elena M., stayed a week at a hotel in Antalya’s Side area.

Hotel staff checked their room when the couple failed to check out on Aug. 18 and saw the room was in ruined condition.

The two tourists, who were detained by the police at the Antalya airport, said they did not remember what happened in the room as they were too drunk.

Hotel management agreed to let the couple leave Turkey after they paid for the damages.
