Hitching Out
North: Border checkpoint Capitan Andrevo towards Bulgaria
This border checkpoint in the north of Edirne is the most-used spot for cross-border trade between the EU and Turkey, Syria and Iran and tourists going to Turkey by car.
Expect a high rate of traffic there, but remember that crossing the border checkpoints by foot is forbidden! So you need a driver that picks you up in his car and brings you over to the Bulgarian side.
When you cross the border also expect to be checked 4-5 times, which costs you a lot of time especially in summer season. Waiting time between 2-8 hours can be seen as normal at this border checkpoint.
