Tarpon Springs Restaurants

Settled in the 1800s, Tarpon Springs welcomed Greek immigrant expert sponge divers who put Tarpon Springs on the map with the sponge industry. Today that means Tarpon Springs is the perfect place to have a taste of traditional Greek dishes like roast or grilled lamb, spanakopita (spinach pie), gyro or souvlaki (kebabs), calamari or charcoal-broiled octopus. Be sure to try the famous saganaki, fried Greek cheese doused in ouzo and lit on fire at the table. Opa! You'll also find American classics like grilled steaks, chops and burgers at cozy diners. The port of Tarpon Springs is also famous for fresh seafood dining. Sea scallops, Gulf shrimp, lobster and many kinds of fish are served in the city’s restaurants. They have it all!
