This spot would be good if not for one small thing. This is Greece, country famous for not being to hitchhiking friendly and we are very close to a Turkish border which is probably making hh here even harder. From positives there are 3 petrol stations here, place for car to stop and not too bad amount of traffic but litteraly no one stops. A lot of people were turning around here and showing me that and that's all from driver's reactions. Only car that stopped was police but fortunately they only checked my passport and wished me a good luck, I gave that spot 2 instead of 1 star only thanks to very nice staff of shell petrol station that bought me some snacks and water while I was WAITING, because of how shitty hh worked here I slept nearby this spot and then took a train to Aoexandropoli to try hitchhiking from there. My general advice is DON'T COME TO THIS PART OF GREECE IF YOU WANT TO HITCHHIKE, JUST DON'T, IT'S NOT WORTH IT―Autostopeks

First car stopped in like 5 minutes but it was a Turkish border guard who could only take me to the border and confirmed that I can't cross it on foot so I declined, than after some time has passed Turkish military truck stopped and they told me that I can't stay here, that this is closed military area and that I need to get closer to the roundebad(I originally standed right between that spot and border itself). So I moved to this spot and first car I thumbed to stopped and after I showed the driver my eu passport he took me to Greece―Autostopeks

Just after border but it's not best place for hitchhiking just because there are not so many cars―Anonymous

To Canakkale, we could get a ride on the east-bound outlet of the otogar in 5 minutes. The driver was Moldovan and told us that he regularly takes this route when going to Turkey.―Anonymous

Fine spot to Istanbul, but not too much traffic and most cars are going pretty fast. But as usual in Turkey, that doesn't really prevent them to stop.―HolyDrinker

To get here, take bus 1 from Edirne to the bus station (otogar) and walk from there. Use a big sign as cars are going pretty fast.―Anonymous

Very good spot when hitchhiking to Istanbul, on this spot you can get lifts from both cars going on highway and those avoiding going there.―Timsah

This spot sucked, nobody stopped for 1,5h. I ended up walking (good view and some nature) to the Toll station above (other highway). There I got a ride quickly.―GermanyToIndia

On a essayé plus dans le centre d’Edirme mais aucun arrêt. Un bus dépose ici (nous on a marché 1h depuis le centre). On a attendu 3 minutes avant qu’un homme nous dépose 1 heure plus loin―Waterplouf

Got dropped off here by a local saying I could walk to Greece, which was not true, so I had to wait for a guy to drive me to the other side. I was very lucky to be picked up by a very sweet German guy travelling all the way to Gernany, although I had a intention to go to Bulgaria, so we spent two days together in Greece and Samothrace, after which he dropped me off at a road going to Bulgaria.―matjex
