Nudist hotel forced to shut

A hotel in Turkey, billed as the Muslim world's first nudist hotel, was forced to close six days after it opened.

The BBC reported the 64-room resort on the Turkish Riviera shut after an inspection found that one of its balconies did not conform to the architect's drawings.

The hotel owner hopes to modify the balcony in order to re-open by Wednesday.

The resort offers guests the opportunity to strip off around the pool, or to take a special shuttle bus to a private beach where nudity is tolerated.
