Antalya is a city in the south-west of Turkey. It is the capital city of Antalya (Province).

Olympos is a very touristic place nearby.

Hitching Out

Hitchhiking out of town is extremely easy, just walk to one of the bigger main roads and hitch a ride.

East towards Manavgat

Take bus 55 which goes to the airport. Get out at the intersection when it turns right to drive towards the airport, and from here if you walk along the road, you will see traffic lights. After these traffic lights is a good place to stand to get a lift heading east. Any bus going to the airport should work. Just ask around.


West towards İzmir

If you want to go İzmir or Aydın directly, use the road to Korkuteli & Denizli, even if you are in Olympos or near the sea side. The sea side road is rather slow for travelling. It is very long and cars can't go fast and you will change cars often. In winter, there are virtually no cars at all, except for some slow tractors.
