Tarpon Springs

Marinas · Beaches · Dolphin & Whale Watching

With the highest percentage of Greek-Americans of any U.S. city, Tarpon Springs is rich with coastal culture. Many immigrants moved to the area to work as divers for the sponge-harvesting industry. Merchants sell natural sponges in the Greektown historical district, although nowadays the fishing and shrimping industries are at the economic helm. Five historical sponge-diving boats are still anchored in the Sponge Docks district. Dodecanese Avenue--the main shopping street in the district--weaves through historical areas and past restaurants serving traditional Greek food and the fresh catch of the day. Find what you're looking for from your Tarpon Springs holiday, by planning the whole thing with us using our handy United States travel planning website.
