Tarpon Springs & Ybar City























Tarpon Springs is the greek area centered around the sponge diving business. We had a great lunch in a greek restaurant.
We then went to an area in Ybar City where the cigar industry was centered. We had dinner at the Columbia restaurant. Magnificent food and a very nice flamenco dancing show. A very unique day.
