Izmir is the third biggest city in Turkey, situated on Aegean (western) coast.
Hitching out
Konak Meydanı Square is the most central part of the city, known for its iconic clock tower. Following descriptions take it as the start point.
Northeast towards Manisa, Balikesir, Bursa, Istanbul
Take the metro from Konak Square. Ride it until Bornova, the last station on the line. Upon exiting the station, you'll come across a street with an overpass on, which is the highway heading northeast. In about a hundred metres or so down the road, the street you'll encounter upon exiting the station joins the highway. Walk there and start thumbing.
Sleeping
Ege University has a large campus in Bornova. Either try the benches or put up a tent in a discrete spot hidden with bushes.
