Catch the bus towards ''Karaman Yolu'' (i.e. “Road to Karaman”, bus #26 goes there, and in April, 2008 costed YTL 1.10/person, one-way, which is about half a Euro). You can catch it from the stop in the city centre, in front of the Governer’s Office (''Valilik'' or ''Vilayet''), which is not very far from the Mevlana Museum/Rumi tomb or Alaaddin Park. This bus will take you fairly out of city, about 10-15 km, on the highway motorway D715. Just push the stop button as soon as it quits the higway by turning left into a much narrower road. After getting off the bus, cross the highway motorway back to the other side (it’s not very hard) and start thumbing. You won’t wait long (~15-20 minutes), but as the cars will be passing by quite fast, always watch your back to see if they had stopped tens of metres ahead. Be aware that this spot is almost in the middle of nowhere and there are hardly any buildings around (let alone a shop), so you may consider taking some extra water before you board the bus: It’s the steppes after all, and it’s literally baking under the sun during summer. Also another thing to consider is that you will pass through only three towns of considerable size ([[Iceri Cumra]] (pronounced ''ee-cheh-ree choom-raa''), [[Karaman]], and [[Mut]] respectively) all along the way down to Silifke, and for some hundred(s) of kilometres (between Iceri Cumra and Karaman) not a single village along the way, so don’t accept lifts to other than these or directly Silifke itself. Getting a lift right into Karaman city centre will make you stray from the highway motorway about a few kilometres away, so also take this into consideration.
