Did you know there’s a town in Florida that has the highest percentage of Greek Americans anywhere in the country?
Many people come to Tarpon Springs to sample the authentic Greek cuisine and if you’re only going to eat at one spot, make it Hellas.
The sponge docks are what built Tarpon Springs and this is the area you want to visit. Lining Dodecanese Blvd (west of highway 19) this is also where all the Greek restaurants and sponge shops are.
You can’t go to Tarpon Springs without buying a sponge! Natural sponges have antibacterial properties (they don’t get moldy like synthetic sponges) and they’re hypoallergenic.
