TARPON SPRINGS: Along the Gulf of Mexico, Tarpon Springs is 20 miles north of Tampa and St. Petersburg, two cosmopolitan cities totaling close to a million inhabitants. Two international airports, about 18 miles away, Tampa International and St. Petersburg/Clearwater International, offer direct flights to major US cities, Canada, and Europe: for instance, British Air flies direct between London, England, and Tampa . Both airports offer 24-hour door-to-door shuttle and limousine transportation. Tarpon Springs is built around waterways, lakes, parcs, and beautiful “bayous”. It also boasts large sandy beaches along the Gulf of Mexico such as lovely Sunset Beach and Howard Park.
Dating back to 1887, Tarpon Springs is the oldest city in the St. Petersburg/Clearwater area and its Greek heritage makes it unique in the United States. The Sponge Docks and the Old Town, both of which are listed as “National Historic Districts,” are lined with Greek restaurants where one can enjoy authentic Greek cuisine and pastries, antique shops, art galleries, and boutiques. Known as “the sponge capital” of the world, the Tarpon Springs community has retained the traditions brought by Greek sponge divers at the beginning of the 20th century, including the biggest Epiphany celebration in the United States, sponge diving-expeditions, and colorful pageantry during Greek festivals centered around the Greek Orthodox Cathedral of St. Nicholas (a replica of St. Sophia’s in Constantinople).
Tarpon Springs has much more to offer: deep-sea fishing, cruises, nature walks, the Sponge Museum and Coral Sea Aquarium, and an excellent Performing Arts Center, as well as easy access to the world-class Ruth Eckerd Theatre in Clearwater. There are several golf courses in and around Tarpon Springs, including the exclusive Innisbrook Resort and Golf Club with its first-class Westin Hotel. Residents of Tarpon Springs also have easy access to the great hotels, shopping, dining, and entertainment provided by the Tampa Bay area, in particular St. Petersburg world-class museums, such as the Salvador Daly Museum, the Museum of Fine Arts and the Florida Holocaust Museum, the Tampa Bay Performing Arts Center (the largest arts facility south of Washington, D.C.), as well as the unspoilt beaches along the Gulf of Mexico, in particular St. Pete’s Beach presided over by the luxurious and picturesque Don Caesar Resort and Spa.
