== Directions = Northeast towards [[Samsun]] {{E|88}} ===
== Istanbul == In Kizilay (Here you should actually just take a ''dolmuş'' going in direction of [[Kırıkkale]]; from there you can easily hitch-hike up north to [[Samsun]]. You can find such minibuses in Ulus in city center)centre, next to the Julian column. These minibuses will have a sign saying "Mamak", there is the main dolmus and name of the easternmost suburb of the city-bus station..They will take you as far as to the ring road surrounding the city for 2TL per person.Note that there you ask are many dolmuş terminals around for Ulus, so it's a bus good idea to Yaskament, but the ask which one has buses going to Mamak rather then just going to every single one. Along the highway between Ankara and Kırıkkale, there leave about 500meters away from that dolmus is a [[Petrol station hitchhiking|gas station]] every few hundred metres (nope, so you just not kidding). Waving with your hand and thumbing around these stations work fairly well, and trucks stop easier. You can also ask around a little bit (it´s across people at the gas station. It is no exaggeration that there are gas stations every few hundred metres. When riding from Ulus to Mamak, don't be tempted to get off at the streetfirst bunch of gas stations you see. Instead, when Try and get the driver to take you cross beyond the main park int he city center)ring road where there are many rides going long distances. The bus goes about 30minutes and brings you closest town to the start bunch of gas stations beyond the highway to Istanbulring road is called "Ortakoy"... only 500 metres or so from the gas station although fence climbing might be necessary.
== Samsun == Here you should actually To get to Cappadocia Region, find a hitch to Aksaray and look out for the signs for the road to Nevşehir (just take a Dolmus going in direction Kirikkale...if when you check it on enter the mapcity, from there's also a gas station where your driver can stop). From there you can easily hitch-hike up north to Samsun. On stand on the part side of the highway from Ankara to Kirikkale there is every 500meters (thats not a lie!!) a gasoline station, but just check the highway and wave with your hand (or thumb)street, many trucks stop easiergoing that direction, than asking people on the gasoline station!too.
== Konya == Actually you just go by metroFood recycling organization ÇerÇöp Çorbacılar (Trash Soup) operates a free food case on Karanfil Street in the city center, or dolmus to the main bus station called AKizilay.S.T.I, then You can take what food you can actually already see the highwayneed, and if you turn right you can see the signs saying "Konya" and Kolbasi... you just walk along the highway...which is only about 2kms, from there you can hitch easily somehow find yourself hitching out of the ring of ankara which has the junction in Golbasi, or Ankara with more food than you just take a Dolmus want to Golbasi for 2TLRcarry, the dolmus stop is a crossover of the highway, where the dolmuses (?) stop...you can leave your extra food there as well.

'''Ankara''' is the capital of [[Turkey]], surrounded by a big ring road.
== Hitching in ==
Get dropped off at any exit on the ring road and you should be able to hitch to either a metro/bus stop or if you are lucky all the way to downtown.
== Hitching Hitchhiking out == === West towards [[Istanbul]], [[Izmir]], [[ImageAntalya]] {{E|80}} === Option A:SDC12163-hitchhiking-outKızılay (city center), there is the main dolmuş and city-bus station located just at ''Güvenpark''. Cross the pedestrian bridge over the huge avenue, and take the first street on your left called ''Meşrutiyet Caddesi'' which is full ofbus stops. Find bus nr. '''123''' to '''Yaşamkent'''. The bus goes about 30 minutes and brings you to the starting point, where is a huge shoulder to stop plus a petrol station. Use a sign, you are just before the interjunction, where highway splits to Istanbul and other directions to the seaside. Option B and C: Take the Metro to Eryaman 1-Ankara2.jpg|thumb|left|350px|Hitchhiking out of Ankara]]
B: Take bus 501-2 to Susuz Köyu (7 stops). From there 200m walking to the ramp (Istanbul motorway and the alternative road via Bolu). Many ppl got direct rides to Istanbul from here according to the Hitchwiki map.
.C: Bus 521 feom Kizilay to Ankata Çevre Yolu or with bus 531/541 from Eryaman 1-2. The spot isn't perfect in my opinion. Cars are fast, officially you can't walk onto the motorway, many hitchhikers do so though and are luckier than at the beginning of the ramp. I had to wait 2h. No clue what's the reason. Another guy seems to have had a direct ride to Istanbul within five minutes.
=== South towards [[Konya]], [[Adana]] & [[Cappadocia]] {{E|90}} ===
Take a metro or dolmus to the main bus station called A.S.T.I. From there you can already see the highway. If you turn right you can see the signs saying Konya and Golbasi. Just walk along the highway, which is only about 2 km. You can either thumb on the road or try your luck on the fuel station which is situated there (in January 2012 the staff was very helpful to [[User:rozwal|rozwal]] in finding a ride). From there you can easily hitch to the ring of Ankara which has the junction in Golbasi, or you just take a Dolmus to Golbasi for 2 Lira. The dolmus stops at a crossover of the highway.
