Jeremy Meeks, who went viral after being labelled on social media as “America’s hottest convict,” arrived in the Aegean province of Muğla’s resort town Bodrum on June 25.

Meeks posted on his Instagram account a photo showing him standing in front of the entrance of Istanbul’s Atatürk International Airport. 

“A great start to an amazing week!!! Here I come #bodrum #turkey,” he wrote to accompany his post.

Meeks’ mugshot went viral online in 2015 and he started a modeling career after his release from jail in the U.S. in 2016.  

He had been sentenced to 27 months in jail in charges of “unlawfull possession of a gun.”
