== Hitching in ==If arriving from north ([[Muratlı]]) and plan to head west ([[Keşan]], and [[Greece]] beyond) with no intention to make it to the city centre, get off the vehicle on the junction of the ring road (Turkish: '''Tekirdağ''' (Çevre Yolu'', road number plate code: '''59''' ''D110) is a surrounding the city in northwestern [[Turkey]], located in European partthe northern outskirts of the city. It lies Getting a lift on the coast ring road is not as easy as in most of rest of the Sea of Marmara and country, but still possible nevertheless. If the driver that took you on the ring road doesn't continue onto west, you have to get off at a second junction (where ring road re-joins the east-west motorway coming in from the city centre. On the junction there is about 140 km west of [[Istanbul]] a sign showing the direction to Keşan), and 130 km southeast of [[Edirne]]hitch again.

== Hitching Hitchhiking out ==The highway motorway '''D110/E84''' passes through the city. There are lots of cars and trucks with European (mostly [[Greece|GR]], [[Republic_of_MacedoniaRepublic of Macedonia|MK]], [[Bulgaria|BG]], but also some [[Germany|D]], [[Netherlands|NL]], [[France|F]] etc, especially during summer) and Asian (mostly [[Iran|IR]]) number plates on this highwaymotorway, day or night, although recently opened ring road which arches around the city absorbs some of the long-distance traffic. All of the following spot suggestions are located after where the ring road rejoins D110/E84, so that won’t be a disadvantage for you.

The edge of the city is too far (9 km) to walk from the city centre on this direction, unless you want to devote a considerable time (at least an hour and a half) and power on this, so it’s best to take one of those slightly-greenish-yellow minibuses (#1) from city centre. It costs 1.25 YTL/person, one-way (about 60-65 euro-cent). Get off near the mall named ‘Maxi Center’, near which there is a crossroad with traffic lights. Walk along the highway motorway for a further few metres where shoulder widens. [[User:Vidimian|Vidimian]] was offered a ride there no more than ten minutesmultiple times. === West towards [[Keşan|Kesan]], and [[Greece]] ===Walk along the avenue towards west. In about 45 minutes from the city centre, you’ll came to a motorway on-ramp. That’s where ring road rejoins D110/E84. Get to the other side of the ramp and start thumbing. If you prefer public transport, take navy blue minibus #1 from the stop in front of Governor’s Office (''Valilik''; cost: 1.25 YTL/person, one-way; about 60-65 euro-cent).

=== West towards [[Kesan]]Despite the high volume of traffic, it takes quite long (more than an hour) to attract a ride from here. However, and it is certain that the lift offer will likely be for at least [[GreeceKeşan]] ===Walk along the avenue towards west. In about 45 minutes from the city centre, you’ll came to a highway onwhich is only 20-ramp. That’s where ring road rejoins D110/E84. Get to the other side of the ramp and start thumbing. If you prefer public transport, take navy blue minibus #1 25 km away from the stop in front of Governor’s Office (''Valilik''; cost: 1.25 YTL/person, one-way; about 60-65 euro-cent)Greek border.

=== North towards [[Muratlı|Muratli]], and [[Edirne]] ===Walk uphill along ''Muratlı Caddesi'' Street from the city centre, or if you prefer public transport, take navy blue minibus #10 from the stop in front of Governor’s Office (''Valilik''; cost: 1.25 YTL/person, one-way; about 60-65 euro-cent). In about 40-45 minutes on foot, or 10-15 minutes by minibus, the city will start to disappear and you’ll come across a crossroad with traffic lights. That’s where the ring road around the city and the road north from city centre intersects. Cross the street and keep walking for about 5-10 minutes to reach a spot where shoulder is wider. [[User:Vidimian|Vidimian]] was offered a ride there in just 3 minutesmore than once.
