Smaller towns outside the main tourist areas have very cheap hotels, starting at 8 Lira.
Outside of populated areas, almost every gas station has mescit (pronounced: mes-jeet), something like a small mosque, and it's a perfect place for sleeping. Just take respect of their religion, take off the shoes and , wash hands and feet, and pay attention not to sleep by the wall where mihrab (niche) is. Don't ask gas station staff can could you sleep there because they would probably say no, although they use it for take taking a rest, but once you are inside, nobody will disturb you.
Many truck drivers will have an extra bunk in their truck cabin, and they are usually happy to offer it to a hitchhiker.
