Not just for history buffs, adventure junkies, or winter lovers, Turkey is a place for the hitchhikers who see their world on a budget and believe in travelling together making new friends in the process. Yes! It helps them save a lot of money too. The time you\u2019ll spend waiting for someone to pick you up on the reasonably busy roads of Turkey will rarely exceed 15 minutes. All you need is a little etiquette, and an opposable thumb and the first vehicle passing you is likely to stop for you. Do a bit of research to learn the basics of the language as well as culture. Also, if you are a female solo traveller hitchhiking in Turkey, you should read the complete female hitchhiking guide which especially concerns Turkey. The best way to stay safe while hitching is to learn the art of interacting with Turks and you’ll usually feel comfortable.<\/em><\/p>\n

\nThe ride is usually but not always free. Though it\u2019s not mandatory to give your driver something in return for a ride but it\u2019s always a good practice and etiquettes to ask your stranger friends. For example you could offer them the gas. So do keep some Turkish currency with you before leaving the house. If you don\u2019t want to be a free hitchhiker as you are not the one who hitchhikes because you\u2019re out of money, make sure to say para(m) yok before you get into the car. In some cases, this might embarass some drivers who are kind enough and want to help you genuinely without expecting any money in return.<\/p>\n
