:::Ah, yeah, after Antalya, our plans changed, and we hitched across the country to Georgia instead.. People inland seemed a lot more hospitable than those on the south west coast (My theory is that they're not used to tourists). Everyone offered us water; Most people would offer us some form of food (usually fruit); One family even pulled over and after we determined that they were going in the wrong direction for us, they changed their plans for the day and shared their picnic with us on the side of the road. The black sea leg was incredibly easy.. picked up by one of the first 10 cars every time (have heard the same story from others we met in Georgia who also hitched along the black sea) --[[User:Alecofnz|Alecofnz]] 13:05, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
::::I agree with your theory that wherever there is little tourism, people are friendlier towards hitchhikers and thus providing real quick lifts in Turkey. I guess that's because most local people in touristy localities think of hitchhikers as, true or not (and most likely not!), "those with heavy wallets but are penurious and/or looking for adventure".
