Few different people asked me where I was going. Relatively easy experience, for sure. Went to Manisa in a single truck. Got to Izmir after Manisa with bus. Nice experience, would recommend.―Anonymous

The cars are quite fast, but they can safely stop on bus stop nearby. Idk if it is the best spot, but our driver took us 1000km to Istanbul.―Anonymous

Good spot to go East. I was offered a ride easily to Ankara but I refused because my goal was Eskisehir/Bursa. Had a lift to Gebze after 40mn to take the boat BUT most of the drivers don't go to the ferry ⛴️ so they will just let you in a random place in Gebze and you might have to walk 1 hour to go there.―cavalierrustique

I tried hitchiking yesterday in other recommended spots but no chance.I just walked here 6 am and no one care about me. I mean Police don't care that you are going there.
I found a car to Istambul in 2 minutes. [easy to catch much further because my driver went to Adana].
The trucks drive 5km/h here

First I waited 90min before and after toll station. Heavy traffic and somewhat slow. Then I asked the guards at the toll station and they said I can stay right next to it. After all HH on the highway is illegal (?) but most people are chill af. Took another 30min to find truck driver who took me.―GermanyToIndia

En mia vojaĝo al Japanio senhalti, Mi provis dum preskaŭ 2 horaj uzante la ŝildon Bolu/Ankara, inkluzive en la aŭtovojo dum kekaj minutoj, unofoje ke ĝi estis malrapida ĉar la trafikŝtopiĝo, sed mi nur estis invitita al Gebze kelkaj fojo. Mi ke kredas ke estas la plej bona. Sed vendredo postagmezo estas tre freneza kaj kaosa. Eble se tie ne fluas vi povas akepti kaj iri a la parkejo antaŭen. Sed Gebze estas nerekomendita. Sorry.―Jurobola

Got a ride with a very nice guy who spotted us. A good place to leave Istanbul towards east with a lot of cars―Andrito

Easy to hik out of Istanbul. But if you are heading east at least take a ride until Izmit.―rebski539

its a bad place to HH,but if u really want to get out of the town by HH, u can select this conjuction spot of most roads. The road is wide, but many space on right to stop and take you for cars. No trucks are going through here. I recommend to take a bus and go further as possible as you can.―Anonymous

This is the main road that goes through east of Turkey, especially Ankara. When you HH before or after the Paybox, u can be a very kind guest of a truck driver.―Anonymous

Anadolu Otoyolu Giseleri (toll plaza).Unfortunately hitching here is illegal and you'll be asked by the staff to leave the place very quickly.

Parking on the motorway O4 Anadolu Otoyolu. There is no petrol station, but many drivers stop here to grab some food from small restaurant. You can get to nearby district Ferhatpasa by buses 19, 19C and 19Y from Kadikoy (close to ferry terminal on Asian side).―Anonymous
