The cleaner, from Rochdale, Greater Manchester, admitted she had made the "worst mistake of my life" but said she needs to get back home to be with daughter Poppy, 12.
Georgia and partner Arron Tighe, 32, flew to Antalya on May 2 and were due to leave on May 7.
But as they celebrated Arron's new veneers, Georgia downed vodka and cocktails before accidentally shattering a glass screen in the hotel bathroom.
She thinks the booze mixed with prescribed antipsychotic medication caused her to black out.
Georgia told The Sun: "I don't even remember it but I smashed the screen."
Panicked, the couple left the Lexia Hotel the following morning and got a cab to the airport to fly back to the UK.
Georgia said their taxi was blocked in by three cars before the worried cab driver called the police, who then arrested them.
A hellish ordeal then began as they were put in a prison cell and questioned without a lawyer.
The mum-of-one said she refused to answer questions until she had a British-speaking lawyer, which led to her being accused of resisting arrest.
Georgia was then hauled into court after being left in a "court cell with 300 men" and was banned from leaving the country until she coughs up £15,000 for the hotel.

She said: "I'm trapped, I don't have £15,000.
"I've paid my lawyer, paid for hotels, I've paid for my rent back home. I've tried loads of ways to get out but I'm getting nowhere. I'm at a brick wall.
"I know I've done wrong but it's killing me. I need to get home for my daughter. She rings me and asks when I'm coming home. It's heartbreaking.
"There's nothing I can do to change it, it's horrible."
Georgia has been in contact with the British Embassy in Turkey, which told her they are unable to help lift the travel ban.
But in fear of indefinitely being held, Georgia has tried other means of leaving the country including trying to get a boat to Greece.
Each time, a passport check has stopped her.
She added: "I need to get home to my child now.

"My lawyer said to wait until it goes to trial, but it's waiting until then. We have no idea when they could be.
"I can't afford to keep living here. I've sat in silence for more than six weeks but I've suffered and nothing's changing."
Her sister has set up a GoFundMe page in a bid to raise £9,000 to help get the mum back to the UK.
Georgia said: "I can't even click on it because I'm so ashamed.
"But I don't know what else to do.
"My lawyer sent a surveyor to the hotel who said the damage is worth no more than £1,000 and that's with labour.
"My lawyer offered £3,000 to settle but they've refused it.
"I just want to get home."

Alan Leandro da Silva, 32, is seen awkwardly wedged in his cell wall as a firefighter drills through the concrete around his torso.

His shirtless back, marked by a large demon tattoo, was strained from hanging down over the floor. It also appears to be injured, with visible grazes and bloody wounds shown in the video. Officers said they had to be extra careful not to injure his upper body during the drilling process.

But he appears to have underestimated the size of his escape hole - or his body - soon finding himself stuck waist-deep inside the wall. After wardens noticed 'strange movement' in the cell on Monday, they called firefighters for help. Officers carefully extracted the inmate, who was freed unharmed. A fire department spokesperson said: "According to the inmate's own account, the hole was dug for two days using a nail and a broomstick. "However, during the escape attempt, he was trapped inside the opening.

The man was given first aid before being sent back to his cell. Jail officials have yet to explain how the man obtained the tools or how the large hole in the wall went unnoticed. It comes as a trio of would-be arsonists accidentally torched their own getaway car. Security footage from southern Australia shows a clumsy man dousing the front of a house with a liquid - before his escape plan goes up in flames. Meanwhile, a bungling crew member activated a jet's emergency slide by mistake - putting it out of service and delaying hundreds of passengers. The gaffe, which took place on a BA flight in January, cost the airline £100,000.

The Notorious has tasted victory in 22 of his 28 pro fights, but hasn't entered the octagon since a rematch loss to Dustin Poirier in July 2021.

Chloe, an Instagram influencer with 284,000 followers, said she "feared she would die" at the 33-year-old's £1.5million apartment. But Lawrence, who runs Lawrence & Winslade bespoke tailors in Knightsbridge, denied the charges and was cleared of assault causing actual bodily harm after an eight-day retrial.

Chloe said: "I trusted the justice system. It failed me. "All it takes is an implication of doubt to devalue the overall felt like I was on trial. "This is happening far too often — not just to me, but to survivors everywhere. The courts are being used to retraumatise victims, not protect them. "I spoke my truth. I fought for justice. And I was let down. Moment vile woman caught kicking dog on neighbour's doorbell camera "We need change - because justice shouldn't be this easy to escape." The court was told the pair had been in a relationship for around six months between December 2021 and May 2022 but remained "on and off" after it ended. Giving evidence, Chloe described their relationship as "narcissistic" adding: "You are addicted to the highs and lows. It is euphoric." During her evidence, the influencer said: "I genuinely thought I'm going to die." She told the court she was left with six bite marks and as a result she needed a tetanus shot and antibiotics. Chloe later went to hospital where it was found one of the bite marks on her neck had "turned septic", it was said. Jurors previously heard a slew of messages were recovered from Lawrence's phone that were sent just before the accusations of assault. He told her: 'I'll do everything in my power to f**k you up. "You're a lying little w****, you said you were coming to me an hour-and-a-half ago." Chloe also described Lawrence as "crazy" and claimed he pursued her while she was at the Cannes film festival and in Mykonos with friends. CHARGES CLEARED Smartly dressed in a grey suit, bearded Lawrence appeared emotional as the unanimous verdict was announced as he looked over to supporters at the back of the courtroom. Giving evidence in court, Lawrence claimed Chloe had confided in him that her boyfriend Guccuk was violent towards her - and that at one point he had seen her with a red mark on her face. Lawrence claimed: "She had a mark on the side of her face. It looked like a footprint. It was a round mark. It was a red round mark. "She always described the relationship as violent. She said he used to beat her up, things of that nature." Asked by Tom Wyatt, defending, whether he had ever bitten anyone, Lawrence replied: "Absolutely not. I'd never even had a fight". The defence lawyer said no one was suggesting Chloe was not assaulted but claimed Guccuk was responsible for her injuries. Mr Wyatt added: "She couldn't risk losing the man who paid for her lifestyle." Francesca Allen, 28, who appeared on series five of Love Island, dated Lawrence in 2018 and wrote a character statement as part of Lawrence's defence. Following his initial arrest, Lawrence had wept and said: "This is ridiculous. She's ruining my life. I asked her to leave." Lawrence later gave police a prepared statement in which he confirmed his relationship with Ms Othen began in January 2022 and ended four months later "because she aborted my child". 8 Ricky Lawrence denied assault and was cleared of all charges Credit: Dan Charity 8 Chloe has hit out on Instagram after the ruling saw Lawrence walk free Credit: Instagram 8 She questioned the 'justice' of the situation despite Lawrence being cleared Credit: Instagram
