I was hoping nobody would mention him - you might start to suspect my motives in choosing a Greek island!
I did have two weeks on Lesbos a few years ago and I got into one of my usual tight corners and had to try a 17-point turn to get out. I backed the two rear wheels right over a low wall, so they were spinning uselessly in the air. Four men appeared out of nowhere - I think they were working in a field, and they just took a corner each and heaved the car back onto the road. I offered them money for a drink, but they woudn't take it. No, they didn't look like Conti! I have also been to Crete, Cyprus and Xante - I have found the Greek country people to be really kind and hospitable.
