Trabzon is a city in northeastern Turkey, on the coast of the Black Sea.
Hitchhiking out
East towards Rize, Georgian border (D010)
Take a bus going to the University — as there is only one university in town, it shouldn't be to hard to ask around for it; it's near the airport. The university campus lies along the highway going in the direction of Rize. Find your way down to the highway; ask around for the "Foreign Language School" (Yabancı Diller Yüksekokulu, but signed as Milli Piyango Yabancı Dil Eğitim Merkezi on the building — a pink one — itself) and just accross here on the highway, is a nice place just after 2 lanes merge, with a good shoulder for cars to stop on.
Experiences
Hitchhiker Anacist:
- I found there were two groups of amateur university kids trying to hitch here, it was another 30 mins walk further down before there is another place for cars to stop. Then again, it is Turkey, so try your luck on the way — drivers often have a habit of stopping wherever they like!
