Greek-heritage Anclote River city with the Sponge Docks, Spring Bayou and a historic downtown
Tarpon Springs is a Pinellas County city on the Anclote River, incorporated in 1887 as the first city in what became Pinellas.
The Sponge Docks along Dodecanese Boulevard are the main visitor draw, with Greek restaurants, sponge shops, working boats and dolphin tours.
Tarpon Springs is in north Pinellas County, with St. Nicholas Cathedral on Pinellas Avenue (Alt. U.S. 19). Parking near Dodecanese Boulevard is limited on weekends, with lots at the east end of the street, and the Pinellas Trail ends in the city.
