No passport needed for this Greek getaway 🇬🇷 Tarpon springs is a small town located about 45 minutes north of Tampa along the Gulf of Mexico. Its nickname is ‘Florida’s Little Greece’ thanks to its rich Greek history and the white and blue color palette on the buildings downtown. Tarpon Springs is also known as the sponge capitol of the world and the amount of sponges I saw for sale in this town is still hard to wrap my head around. The ‘sponge docks’ is a must visit and there you’ll find a waterfront walkway lined with boats full of freshly caught sponges and shops overflowing with sponges, shells, and other coastal finds for sale. Send this to someone who would love to visit Florida’s little Greece! Things to do in Florida | Day trips from Tampa Florida | Florida weekend getaway #tarponsprings #spongecapitol #tarponspringsfl
