== Over to England ==Because it is the closest port to mainland [[United Kingdom|Britain]] with just 34 km from the British port of [[Dover]], '''Calais''' is one of the busiest cross-Channel ports on continental [[Europe]]. Regular ferry services operate from Calais to [[Dover]] (''P&O'' and ''Seafrance'' each with over 20 crossings per day). [[Dunkerque]] could be a alternative to get over (''norfolklines'' to Dover, same or nearly same conditions than Calais – – Dover), Calais is busier though.

Try to get a ride before getting on the ferry, as hitchhikers can get over for free because drivers only pay for their vehicle and up to nine persons go for free with a car and two with a lorry – – additional persons pay like footpassengers. If you are searching for a lift you often have to tell people about this possibility first – – otherwise they often don't take you with them just because they think it's too complicated or they'll have to pay... Besides the ferries there is also the tunnel as a possibility to get over. Cars and lorries get loaded onto a train which takes them over. There, however, (from what I heard) each passenger has to pay (15 pound), so one can't get over for free legally with this possibility.

Turkish lorry drivers are often very kind and help you searching for a lift. You often ask one of them and he talks to all his fellow countrymen – – you often ask all of them by asking one, end up having dinner with them, ... Their German is often better than their English but they really try to do their best to communicate.
