Lesbos

Those who do not value organized recreational offerings can feel completely at ease here. Lovers of winding paths, whether hikers or mountain bikers, will find almost paradise-like conditions on the third-largest island of Greece, Lesbos. In addition to its scenic charms, Lesbos boasts a variety of architectural monuments, particularly churches and monasteries, which can be easily visited on day trips. Thomas Schröder's travel guide also includes suggestions for excursions to the nearby Turkish mainland, where the ancient city of Pergamon awaits visitors, among other attractions.
