=== Westwards towards [[Greece]] (via [[Tekirdag]]) {{E|84}} ===
Take the suburban train (''banliyö treni'') from the very city center (Sirkeci) towards Halkali. It's only 1,50 65 lira. Get off at ''Küçükçekmece''. If the train station is 6 o'clock, walk in the direction of 12 o'clock in order to find the on ramp towards [[Tekirdag]]. This is the same road that will take you directly to Greece, although you will still be well within the congested motorways of suburban Istanbul. Be aware that you cannot cross this border walking! You have to find somebody to take you across. Knowing [[German]] will help you a lot to explain that you need help to cross the border due to many drivers with a Turkish-German background.
* Hitchhikers experience I took the train to Küçükçekmece like I read on here, and found the highway. To my dismay it was '''impossible''' to hitch. After walking 2 miles, hoping there would be a spot for people to pull off, there was nothing. I noticed these buses that road in the middle of the highway, and decided to take one down the road. After two stops, it was the end of the line. Fortunately, there was a huge spot to hitchhike. For anyone who goes this way, I '''highly''' recommend taking the bus the whole way instead of trying to walk like I did. Or, use another method to hitch. - Jon
