Wow, you guys really did Tarpon Springs proud! As a local, I can say you really showcased what the city has to offer so nicely. So nice to see our local artists featured as well as our own local distillery! Well done!

Wow! Tarpon Springs has a lot to offer. Your excursions and interviews were so interesting. A must see on my list now. Thank you for sharing.

We were just in the Tarpon Springs area for two weeks. We love the sponge docks. That boat tour is really amazing. The Greek people are wonderful. The food is delicious. We went on the boat tour to shell island also. We also loved riding our bikes on the famous Pinellas Bike trail! We love eating at Rusty Bellies. JJ Gandy Bakery has the best key lime pie and other pastries.

Tarpon Springs is like being transported to the quaint streets of Greece, but without needing the passport! And a true St. Pete/Clearwater, Florida gem! Awesome video! π¬π·βπ΄

Loved this video about sponge diving. And Greek restaurants. Love Greek food. I had a friend in school and she was from Greece. Her mom cooked dinner for us one night. And it was soo good. And we always are their restaurant in my home town near Detroit. Tasting drinks at distilleries. I saw the drink charging color. That was so cool. Canβt wait to see next weeks video. Thank you Howard and Katelyn. Have a great week. Stay safe and safe travels.

We spent months there. Love the area and the food! Hellas was our favorite! There are manatees throughout the waterways all winter too π§‘
