In my opinion it's better spot then station cuz hare is more traffic, cars are slow after toll station and there is place to stop. Better to use sign.After an 1h Turkish truck driver took me to Turkish border.

Ĝi estas vere la sola parkejo inter Tesaloniko kaj Turkio kun pli da turkaj kamionoj ol aliaj permesiloj. Mi provis la aliajn parkejojn, ĉi tiu estas la sola kun deca kvanto da kamionistoj irantaj al Turkio. Tamen, por mi, neniu el ili volis helpi min kaj multaj eĉ ne volis paroli kun mi. Kelkaj aŭtoj ankaŭ haltas kaj ŝajnas, ke ili iras malproksimen, sed ili estas tre plenplenaj. Post multaj horoj mi akceptis la unuan oferton, irante al Drama (mi haltis antaŭe) kaj daŭrigis iri al Turkio iom post iom. Daŭris ĉirkaŭ 36 horojn por atingi Istanbulon. Do eble vere valoras provi rektan veturon almenaŭ ĝis la limo. Se vi ne estas eŭropa blankulo, vi povas provi akiri kelkajn ludojn, instrumentojn aŭ kantojn por pasigi la tempon atendante bonkoran ŝoforon.Estas malfermaĵo en la barilo meze de ĉi tiu parkejo, proksime al la malgranda vojo malantaŭe.

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.―Anonymous

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.―Anonymous

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.―Anonymous

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.―Anonymous

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.―Anonymous

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.―Vojaganto

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

There is a truck stop here, about 15 km east of Lagynas. Maybe the best option to go towards Istanbul with Turkish truck drivers. (untested)―Anonymous

The bus number is 83 from center or Lagkada Street. Ask for connecting bus to analipsi. From center to toll station u need maybe an hour, but its a really good spot for the direction turkey.―Anonymous

Take bus to lagkadas, then connecting bus to analipsi. Walk 20 mins until you just pass toll station. The fence dips down the hill so no one will see you Climb it. Got a Turkish trucker in 20 mins―Anonymous

I needed to go to Macedonia and I confirm this is a good spot. Cars passing at this point of the road are going north, so it's likely to get a ride. I didn't have to wait that long.―Emanuele19956
