Great spot, many cars. Beware of the military base just dont be in front and u will be chill. Its kinda a long shot for Istanbul, still i waited long enough and somebody turned up

У меня не получилось найти точки лучше, поэтому стал напротив заправки в тени алычы, заправка напротив точки на данный момент не доделана. Много машин едут в Анталию, меня подобрал один из таких водителей.

На заправке пытался поймать машину, но было машин очень мало. Удобная заправка для отдыха. Поэтому я вышел на дорогу чуть дальше заправки и пытался поймать машину. Остановился грузовик который отвёз меня до Ыспарты, но сам он направлялся в Анталию.

Было в воскресенье вечером поэтому было много машин на заправке перед этой точкой. Я там 1.5 часа пытался поймать машину, но все машины ехали в сторону Ыспарты с этих заправочных станций. (На заправке можно налить себе бесплатный чай). Поэтому я отошёл на указанную точку и пытался поймать машину. Остановился мотоцикл который отвёз меня в центр города. Указанные точки автобусная остановка, Так что места для остановки машин достаточно.

Очень хорошая заправка если не пытаться поймать на ней машину в час пик, то есть после 18:00 выходного дня. Машины здесь могут направляться либо в Ыспарту, либо в Анталию, но в основном попадались местные.

Персонал заправки очень доброжелательный. Хорошо с ними пообщался пока ждал свою машину. Выходной, поэтому трудно было поймать машину все почти полные либо вещами либо людьми.

Got a good ride to go further with a very slow truck

A truck driver took me for a 100km drive, good spot with a lot of space, visibility and a traffic light

It was hard to get out of samsun, no good spot to hitchhike. Managed to get a rideoutside of the city

Got dropped there, very lucky a turkish truck stopped direct and got me to samsun

Good spot to go far, better to have a sign

We got lucky as Georgians to meet Georgian truck drivers at the parking lot. They took us to Hopa because they had a huge queue before crossing the border. From Hopa to Sarpi was easy

Lane is fast; however, the spot has some space for small cars to stop.

We arrived in Bolu around 4 a.m. and struggled to get any ride towards Istanbul until the next morning, when truck drivers started moving from the parking. It was very cold for an August night, and luckily there was a McDonald's where you could kill time

We were going to Istanbul. didn't take us much to get a ride. Make sure to leave enough distance for trucks to stop, as the Istanbul lane is in the middle

Достаточно долго пытался поймать машину, но все машины были полные. Отличное место чтобы отдохнуть и зарядить свой телефон. Меня даже угостили турецким кофе. Меня подобрала машина которая развозила овощи и отвезла в Бейшехир. В этом городе много мест для караванов, поэтому будет не проблема и поставить палатку рядом с ними либо в парке, купаться на этой территории нельзя.

Мне сильно повезло На этой заправке. Первый же водитель, к которому обратился, был готов меня отвезти до Коньи. Как по мне точка для автостопа хорошая.

Crossed the border on foot and went to nearest gas station. Some taxis asking if I want a ride in front of it (don't take). Asked like 3 cars and some nice guys took me to Istanbul :) I also saw a train station close by with not-to-expensive trains.

Cars dont go as fast because it goes uphill. No shade but enough space to stop

No Shade but the cars go very slow because there are traffic lights there

Nice view, friendly people, very expensive coffee and still a shitty spot to go to Slovenia. Not as many cars as expected and lots of lots of people going to Germany (maybe due to the time - end of German summer holiday), prepared to sleep here but got lucky and was picked up by a nice guy on his way to Turkey after 20 minutes or so. But all in all: try this spot if you want to go to Germany or northern Austria, don’t try it for any other direction

Waited a rather long time for Turkey (but very decent as a whole), two men. Got us to Nevşehir. Lots of place to stop and cars don’t go too fast.

OMV gas station. Most people go to Burgas. I found a truck driver which was heading to Lassowo at the border to Turkey

5 stars because turkish trucks here go a long distance. before you cross the border, there is a huge line of trucks. they won't speak english, so better smile and name bunch of cities, then mark their destinations down and after interviewing most of them, pick the best option for you. i was solo, under heaviest rain in my life and got a 1500km lift across turkey. driver was super cool. border guards also helped me wait for the truck to cross and let me stay inside duty free area. overall: good spot, but be ready to wait and probably come here in the morning, when all trucks from the rest area depart.

Not great, hard to get to, but all the traffic going to Turkey (if you don't go along the coast) goes here. I only went here because it was a sunny Saturday in summer and everyone on the highway at the petrol station (a little north) went to Sozopol for the beach. Eventually got picked up by gypsies who asked for money (€20), but they were very hospitable and even gave me something to eat and drink.

Asked a albanian truck driver if he could take me to turkey. First he refused, but after his break he came back and offered to drop me off in front of the border near Alexandroupoli. Didnt even need to jump the fence like another reviewer mentioned, theres a big hole nowadays.

Got a ride by two of the nicest Albanians ever that took me all the way to Tirana. They realised I had literally no money and offered to buy me food and drinks which I kept refusing but they absolutely insisted and bought stuff for me anyway. So on the way I got given pastries, a donut, 2 yogurt drinks, 2 waters, a sandwich, 2 packs of cigarettes, watermelon and then gave me a whole cantaloupe. I told them I was trying to hitchhike to turkey and they thought it was a bad idea so they bought me a bus ticket for istanbul tomorrow morning. What the actual fck. Genuinely in disbelief right now. I am forever in debt to Ari and Kico those Albanian legends.

I put out my thumb and a tow truck pulled over. He gave me a ride to Malko Tarnovo but once I was there it was a 8km walk to the border and no cars stopped for me. I ended up crossing the border checkpoint after sunset and slept on the side of the road. It's worth waiting here for a car that will take you into Turkey directly if you can.

Really quiet place with not a lot of traffic. I think people are afraid to pick you up in direction turkey because they are afraid of the border. Got a ride to istambul at 19p.m but i was very lucky. People are rolling fast and no place to stop but i had no other choice.

Did not work for us. There is space and plenty traffic but no one stopped which is the first time it happens to us over 3 weeks in Turkey. After one hour, we walked 10 minutes to the next petrol station. There someone immediately offered you drive us out of Serik on the way to Konya.

I just asked everyguy with Turkish driving plates and I got drive directly to Turkey. My driver went to Antalya but i jump off at the border.

Was dropped off the at the intersection and started walking towards the A4 going to turkey, didnt make it onto the road propper before i got picked up.

Not even 2 minutes and a truck driver picked me up. Brought me all the way to Turkey. Roads are shit and it takes forever.

reading the previous comments you can understand that it is very difficult to find transportation here. I was lucky and after an hour a kind gentleman from Turkey picked me up directly to Sofia. If it wasn't him I would probably have been standing in this place for hours.

good place, easily accessible by public transport. A truck driver from Turkey picked me up after 30 minutes to the border, after the border a couple from the Czech Republic.

Turkey Hill Gas Station. Not lots of people stopping by, mostly locals. End up having a short to go further on I-81 to Middlesex to a truck stop. Driver was a Pastor, tried to convince me to read the book of Jon and gave me his phone unmber a tthe end in any case

We waited at the entrance of the petrol station for two hours with a sign that said: Szeged Románia felé. One car stopped, but we had too much luggage (two people, two backpacks, two instruments) and then two turkish truckers took us to the border of Turkey in two days.

Direction: Turkey. Easy to get a ride, but lots of short ones.

Let me cross on foot Kurdistan to Turkey. Iraqi/Kurdistan officers stopped a random car for me to get in to go over bridge (walking forbidden), told them taxi is too expensive.
