Tarpon Springs is located on the Gulf Coast of Florida.  It is one of my favorite places to visit! 

The Sponge Docks are why I love Tarpon Springs.  It is a small Greek village along the coast with hundreds of little shops, bakeries, and Greek restaurants.  They also feature sightseeing cruises where you can watch divers harvest sponges from the sea.

One of our favorite shops is Spiceman's Kitchen.  They have every hot sauce imaginable sitting on one of their shelves.  Even though the clerk said pictures weren't allowed I managed to sneak a few in






Next door to the Spiceman's Kitchen is a nostalgic candy store.

Then there is the restaurants! The bakeries! The gyros are awesome and the baklava is to die for. If you've never tried the flaming cheese (pictured below) I have to say it tastes decadent and buttery.

If you find yourself traveling the Gulf Coast near Tarpon Springs you should take the side roads and head on down to The Sponge Docks for an afternoon of fun!
