Mi pensas, ke estas tre neatendite trovi iun irantan rekte al Tesaloniko. Mi provis Gravena kaj renkontis ĉi tiun aventureman argentinan ŝoforon. Bonegaj latinaj tempoj ĝis Tesaloniko.

Nice spot in the shade, but thin traffic and you're really stuck here when not getting a ride.

Great spot for hitching north from Thessaloniki. There are traffic lights so the cars are really slow there. We were 2 guys and had a sign North Macedonia.

There's an abandoned toll station here providing shade in summer (one could even sleep in the booths at night), good visibility and road broad enough for traffic to stop for you. Not much traffic, but got a ride to the border within half an hour.

Lots of traffic, used the slip road where traffic coming from the highway goes west, just after the traffic lights. Quick ride to the A1 highway crossing.

Tough one if going towards Macedonia. After 5min had a ride offer to Thessaloniki, unfortunately declined, just to wait almost 4 hours (started 5:55 AM) for the next car to stop that went along the ring road of Thessaloniki, where there was a better spot towards Macedonia. Some tourists, but very low traffic in the early morning hours. Great sleep on the restaurant sofas though.

It is a spot in the Highway, has good visibility and some time to Break. Not ideal thoough. We used a sign saying "Saloniki". We got picked up by a Truck after about 15min on the highway. He dropped us of somewhere in the suburbs.

The spot is great (great visibility and place to stop), but I ended up waiting for quite some time to find a ride to Thessaloniki. When asking around, I even talked with a man my age who said he was going to Thessaloniki, but "refused to take strangers into [his] car because of all the problems with imigrants". Funnily enough, I was picked up by an Albanian who emigrated to Greece a few minutes later.

Shell Gas Station just before the Highway.
Stayed there four hours without getting a ride. Half of the cars isn't getting to the highway. It's hard for cars which going to highway to see and stop for you.
Better don't try to Hitch-Hike there

A little hard to get a ride towards Igoumenitsa, Most people go t Katerini (direction Athens) but possible! We asked people while they were waiting.

you can get here from Thessaloniki by bus 80 (see page for the city), good place to catch a ride to the west towards Igoumenitsa

Greek cars don't stop as usual. Many MK and SRB cars but they are packed with families. After 4h night fell and we slept in the comfy field nearby, then next border got picked up by Albanian workers. There's no water so bring plenty with you!!!
