Lesbos is idyllic, retaining that classic laid back Greek lifestyle. &nbsp;Also known as \u2018Emerald Island\u2019 for its nature and forests of Mediterranean pines, chestnut trees and oaks, it is also a great place to ride a bike! Our route took us inland climbing through beautiful forests up to the mountain village of Agiasos.  <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped

And on the Greek side, the Customs guy examined every page and stamp on my passport, and commented, \u201cYou go a lot of place!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images
