Very nice trip. The drive is about 100 miles/2 hours with good traffic, so yes it's doable. It's a charming city with a long Greek history. You can spend a couple of hours or all day sightseeing and charter fishing.

We went on a cruise in Jan out of Tampa and went a day early so we could spend a day there. DH & DD had never been and they loved it. Hey where else can you go to a sponge museum? Be sure to soak it all in!

If you do go to Tarpon Springs,look up a place called "Lucky Dill Deli". They have the best,biggest sandwiches I've had since moving from N.Y. To FL 34 yrs.ago! I usually get a Pastrami Sandwich on rye,it's never disappointing!

We are staying at Clearwater prior to WDW and plan on going to Tarpon Spgs since we haven't been in years. I am hoping to spend just 2-3 hours there. I'll have to look up the deli, I haven't had a good pastrami in a while!

The Lucky Dill has moved to a larger location and is now on Hwy. 19 in Palm Harbor - not that far from Tarpon Springs. Worth the trip.

Was just there over spring break and loved it! The kids learned a lot and we had some great Greek food. We even spotted some manatees in a small inlet. It's a fun day trip!

Such fond memories of Tarpon Springs for me. My grandparents had a small house near Clearwater and we'd head to Tarpon Springs all the time. There used to be a restaurant called Pappas there. I looked it up after reading this and it's something else now.
I'd love to visit again someday and feel like I was with my Grandpa again. My fondest memories are all the little shops with sponge and salt water taffy.

Great! BIL lives in Palm Harbor so we are going to their house to pick them up anyway.

We have family in Tampa and we request going there every time we visit! I love the soap bar/sponge!
