Çanakkale is a city on the southern (Asian) banks of Dardanelles. The city is the capital of Çanakkale Province. There are ferries from Eceabat and Kilitbahir on the European banks of the Strait landing in the city. Highways numbered D550/E87 (towards south) and D200/E90 (towards east) fan out of the city.

Hitching out

The city is surrounded by a ring road, with access to the centre from east and south. If coming from east (Lapseki) and intending to head south without overnighting in the city, make sure your driver either takes you into downtown or somewhere near the southern access road if possible. Attracting a ride on the ring road is not very hard but with the traffic volume being so low, especially in the evening, you may have to walk a very long distance.

South (towards Ezine, Izmir)

Once you are near the southern access road coming from the city centre, attracting a southbound ride is no problem at all. In Kepez, a southern suburb of Çanakkale, there is a big-box type store named Migros near the highway. Opposite is a junction with traffic lights and a large shoulder. You can get a fairly quick lift there. However, there is also a minibus stop there, so they may cause a bit of nuisance with their horns and flashing headlights to ask whether you'd like a ride (for a fee, of course).
