===Northwest towards [[Edirne]] and [[Bulgaria]]===
Get into the Metro at Taksım square and take a train to ''4.Levent''. This is currently the last station of the Istanbul metro. One ticket costs 1,30 YTL (~0,65 Euro). At 4.Levent get out of the Metro. You will find yourself along the ''Büyükdere Caddesi'' street. Walk along the mainstreet direction north (watch out for big signs that are leading drivers to the highway to [[Edirne]]. After 15min and passing a military camp, you'll see the [[on-ramp to the highway]]. Unfortunately, there is no way to cross the street from right to left then by attempting suicide, because the main street is mostly full of fast traffic. If you are not brave enough to do so, walk another 10min further and cross the street over a bridge and walk back the way along the other side. Go somewhat down the ramp and you can find a good spot to stand and stop cars. Also try to get short lifts (even some kilometers can help in Istanbul). A few kilometers further on the highway, there is a [[toll booth ]] where you can easily catch rides (the breadsellers might help you get a lift to your preferred destination).
<small>(There is a bus going all the way directly to the toll station, anyone knows which one?)</small>
===Eastwards towards [[Ankara]]===
You are now located a little bit south of the E80/O4 heading East towards Ankara. You will need to walk a little bit northwards in order to reach a ramp.
There is a bus stop on the on-ramp. You can hitch out from there unto the E80/O4 going East.
Most people who will take you might just drive for another 10km or so. There are lots of [[petrol stations station]]s on the way in this giant suburban maze but chances are only local people stop there.
You will have to go for about nearly 20 or 30 km until you will actually be out of the Istanbul metropolis.
