Local dive bars line the Anclote River
Beside the Anclote Village Marina is Miss Vicki's on The River. “It’s a really popular local bar because you can sit outside in front of the water,” Rouse says. The trees, giant oaks and palms taller than the restaurant itself, take center stage and are worked into the layout of the outdoor bar and waterfront, linked together by string lights. When newcomers hear the name “The Boat Club,” they might think of yachts docked at an exclusive clubhouse, but this no-frills dive bar is anything but. Eclectic décor and fliers of local bands cover the aged walls of a building that locals say, “feels like it could fall into the water any minute.”
In the early 1900s, Greek immigrants established a hub for Florida’s sponge industry, which is now the Greektown Historic District, located on Dodecanese Boulevard. “We’re the ‘Sponge Capital of the World’,” Rouse says. “There are a lot of Greek families that go out and dive still. The industry is still alive here.” Historic Downtown Tarpon Springs offers century-old department stores, antiques, independent bookstores and art galleries.
