Tarpon Springs Epiphany Celebration

This day tour showcases the must-see sights and rich heritage of Tarpon Springs, led by none other than Michael John—a native-born Tarponite and proud ambassador for his community. His vibrant personality and insider knowledge bring the historic Greektown district to life as you stroll past charming Victorian homes, eclectic boutiques, St. Michael’s Church, and more. Ever wondered why the main street is named “Dodecanese”? Michael John has the answer.

Savor an authentic Greek lunch at Mama’s Greek Cuisine, where fresh ingredients and daily specials capture the flavors of the Mediterranean. Then, follow Michael John to the famous Sponge Docks for another unforgettable highlight: a one-hour cruise along the Anclote River. Watch as a diver—wearing traditional gear weighing an incredible 142 pounds—demonstrates the art of sponge harvesting, a tradition that put Tarpon Springs on the map.

Along the way, enjoy three delicious tastings—wine, coffee, and bakery treats—that complete your Greektown immersion. Before you head home, take advantage of your complimentary OPA Retailer discount card for a little extra shopping delight.

Please be advised that the bus will be stopping at all three pick-up points (Wildwood, Inverness and Ocala) for this and all tours.
