== Route Many hitchhikers try to catch a ride with a truck-driver from [[Turkey]] on their way to Istanbul ==. They have to take breaks every three hours though, but they always stop at their common regular places, so you can ask upon arrival other drivers that are just about to departure.

== Route to Istanbul ==
=== From [[Belgrade]], [[Nis]] ===
=== From [[Sofia]] ===
From Sofia to Istanbul is not a straight road (yet). You take the A1 towards [[Plovdiv]] and from there most cars turn south (right) at [[Chirpan]] towards [[Svilengrad]] (Bulgaria) and [[Edirne]] (Turkey) at the Turkish/ Bulgarian border.
Just before the exit at [[Chirpan]] there is a 'hidden spot' where only Turkish truck-drivers come for a final meal and refreshment. This is their last stop before hitting the border. Eat with them, or wait outside. When [[Robino]] was there, he was requested to wait outside for the drivers. Ask the drivers personally for a ride to the border, from there you are better off taking a ride with a normal car as the trucks stop normally after the border for another break.
