=== East towards Kavala and [[Istanbul]] ([[Turkey|TR]]) {{E|90}} ===
This route is widely perceived to be difficult. The best and rather If you are lucky it can be easy way of doing this is hitching with if you get to a Turkish truck. Take bus #27 from the centre (e.g. Kamara) until the very end of the line. [UPDATE: bus #83 no longer starts where bus #27 finishes. Instead ask your #27 bus driver where to get off for bus #83] Switch to bus #83 and go a few stops until you see the motorway. Get off when you see a JetOil rest area on the other side of the motorway. Just follow the bus and go under the motorway to reach the other side. Once you are there, rally the gas station personnel to help you(they are very nice!). Show them your Istanbul (or Kavala or whatever) sign and ask them to tell you if they notice someone going to Turkey. Be prepared to convince the paranoid drivers that you are not wanted by the police and show them your passport. Getting a ride can take anything between one minute and five hours but this IS the way to do . If it. Do just does not even consider other small work at the gas stations or station see the options below (thumbing up on the roadetc). Also, there should be a toll station (peage) about [http://hitchwiki.org/maps/?place=6374 15 km east of Lagynas]. When you get to the border you might want to switch to a passenger car because the truck could be stuck in customs for a while.
Another option: Bus #83 goes all the way to Langada. If you stay on the bus until it reaches this small town, you can easily hitch out in the direction of Kavala, Istanbul, etc.
