According to the Turkish Daily News, this month sees the opening of Turkey’s first GLBT hotel, the four-star Planet Victorya in Kemer, about an hour’s drive from Antalya. TDN speculates that this could perhaps be in response to the European Union putting pressure on Turkey to show full respect for human rights.
