Sponge capital of the world and your place for anything sponge...Also some pretty amazing Greek Culture and of course Food.
Home to what may be the oldest tourist attraction on the west coast of Florida is near the Sponge Exchange. George Billiris, owner of St. Nicholas Boat Lines, said in 1924 his father Michael Billiris started giving boat rides to tourists during January and February when rich winter visitors were in residence.
Today the Anclote River along the sponge docks of Tarpon Springs churns with possibilities for boat rides. St. Nicholas Boat Line continues the family tradition, going out daily for half-hour cruises with a demonstration of traditional Tarpon Springs sponge diving.

The Freezer is a little over a 1 hour drive from the Boat House but if you find yourself exploring the Crystal River area, this is a MUST spot if you love seafood and especially Peel and Eat Shrimp. Located on the Homosassa River the Restaurant is in the Old Fish Freezer (hence the name). As of the last time we were there it was still Cash Only.
