This spot, and actually the whole road, is super exhausting to hitchhike. There is almost no traffic (even in the mornings when you would usually find some tourists), and many people are staying in town. After an hour or so of waiting, I finally found a kind woman who showed me around in Galaxidi (worth a visit!) and dropped me off at the exit of that town.―Kartenhouse

I tried this spot for two hours on a Wednesday night but didn't succeed in finding a ride. Next to no traffic at all, and the few drivers who saw me didn't seem to enthusiastic about seeing a hitchhiker (perhaps especially in the evening). I tried the spot again the next day and succeeded then, but that night I just surrendered and got an airbnb.―Kartenhouse

Probably as good a spot as any on this road. But the road has next to no traffic at all in the evening. If you want to hitchhike here, good luck! Eventually, I found a ride with an Albanian father and son to the next town where I gave up and happily collapsed in my airbnb for the night after some super intense and slow hitchhiking days.―Kartenhouse

Being here early in the day is definitely a very good idea! That way you can catch tourists checking out of their accommodations in Parga/Lichnos/Igoumenitsa who might go some distance. The locals mostly go between two cities and are very reluctant to take people.I ended up finding possibly my best ever ride here with a young Italian couple who were travelling with their camper van, freecamping where ever they go. They were going in my direction (Patras) but were planning to do some sightseeing on the way. They kindly took me with them to look at the archeological site of Nicopolis (amazing stuff!). While driving it turned out that they would continue to Delphi the next day and that I could free camp with them. We spent an amazing night filled with music, swimming, great conversation and a camp fire at a secret beach on the coast. Although we got stuck with the van on way back up the bad path for three hours, I had the best time with them. We just clicked on every level and this is exactly what I hitchhike for!
Because of the situation with the van, we didn't end up reaching Dephi that day, and they instead decided to stay on the coast for another night. Unfortunately their next freecamping spot wasn't so suitable for my tent and I had too book accommodation for a night in the next town.
