Take We left the metro to reach Bornova station. Here you can either walk on the road towards Turgutlu and Ankara (bus in Yeşilçam before it will take a while) or take a bus exits ''Kemalpaşa Caddesi'' (#317exactly here: 38°27′57.07″N 27°13′42.45″E) , then walked to Kavaklidere (outskirts of the city)highway D300.

__NOTOC__
'''Izmir''' is the third biggest city in [[Turkey]], situated on Aegean (western) coast.
=== Northeast towards [[Manisa]], [[Balikesir]], [[Bursa]], [[Istanbul]] ===
Take the metro from ''Konak'' Square. Ride it until '''''Bornova''''', the last station on the line. Upon exiting the station, you'll come across a street with an overpass on, which is the ring road around the city. You'll see an access road to that near the station. After following the ringroad about two-three hundred metres or so down the motorway, you'll come across a junction. The left side, as can also be seen from Manisa-Istanbul signs, is heading northeast. Shortly after the junction, there is a nice spot to hitch.
Update (2017): The metro has been extended now until a station called '''''Evka 3'''''. From here, you can walk a few minutes until you reach Istanbul caddesi, with an overpass. Turn right and you'll find a petrol station. After the petrol station, where the overpass ends, is a hitchhiking spot also very much used by students going to Manisa.
=== North towards [[Bulgaria]] ===
[[User:Looking for Stu|Looking for Stu]] found that you simply take the train to the airport. From there you can find road signs to whichever direction you want to travel. It might be a bit of a walk to an 'on ramp', but you'll be picked up in no time; everyone seems to be heading South out of the city.
=== East towards [[Afyon]], [[Ankara]], [[Konya]] === Take the metro to reach '''''Evka 3''''' station. Here you can either walk on the road towards Turgutlu and Ankara (it will take a while) or take a bus (#317) to Kavaklıdere (outskirts of the city). Used this exit in September 2018. Correction: the bus 317 leaves not from ''Bornova'' metro, but from '''''Evka 3''''' metro station nearby (GPS: 38°27′57.07″N 27°13′42.45″E). There is a big Carrefour shop here to stock up, and if you need you can top up your İzmirim Kart downstairs at the metro lobby, then take the bus 317.
== Public Transport ==
Find out a bus stop on a map on a web-map then go to the nearest bus stop and ask people which bus goes there. Or ask directly from drivers.
September 2018: one empty İzmirim Kart costed 6.50 TL, sold in convenience shops (ask for ''büfe'' / ''tekel''). In machines e.g. in metro stations you can only put money on your card but not purchase a new card. We were told we can't use one card for 2 passengers, but not sure.
One full fare is 3.00 TL and you will have free transfers for next 90 min from your first beep, this includes ferries.
Note that for ''İZBAN'' (fast train) your card will be charged 8 TL so you have to have at least that much in your card (because this train also goes to suburbs far outside of İzmir), but if you just go a few stops inside İzmir, most money will return to your card when exiting the station (fare is calculated by distance you traveled). So don't forget to beep also at exiting.
== Sleeping ==
Ege University has a large campus in Bornova. Either try the benches or put up a tent in a discrete spot hidden with bushes. Also, there are many members of hospitality networks.
