Do not hesitate to take this tour without it we never wound have learned so much about the Greek immigration, the earlier years of their life here and immense knowledge about sponges! Our guide had deep family ties to the area and could bring memories of her childhood into the experience. Highly recommend.

Our Sponge Dock Stroll with Krisula was very informative. We learned a lot about the history of the Greek settlement in Tarpon Springs and how sponging has changed over time. The stop at National bakery was delish! We would recommend to those wanting to spend some time really understanding this lovely community. Many thanks!
