The Sponge Exchange

"Please see my earlier assessment of my visit to this famous and important place of business for the City of Tarpon Springs and beyond."

"Fun place, but there is a cosmetics shop there with extremely pushy salesmen! This cosmetics shop is not listed on google, but if you go in, you’ll run into them. Avoid at all costs!!! First they lure you in with free samples, then they say they have some miracle cure for wrinkles and you’ll see results right away. When you see no results they say you’ll see them after two weeks of consistent use. When you say you’ll read reviews online, they say best review is the results you got (which you didn’t actually get). Best part is their snake oil costs 200 dollars! But if you start walking away, they’ll lower the price to $150 (yeah, what a deal). I know sales people have to advertise, but this was so blatant and unpleasant (“do you want your wrinkles to get worse?”) that it really spoiled my experience with sponge exchange."

"Shop for tourist junk in my backyard. Great date and friend time place. Come for the sponges and other Greek entertainment and interesting clothes, soaps, jewelry, food, etc"

"I am always in Tarpon Springs! Great food at Hallas Again! Did some Shopping. Always a good time!"

"My friends and I had a great time there. We rode the bikes down there for something else nearby and since I've never been to the Sponge Docks, we rode on over. Next time I'd love to stay longer and really see what it's about. We walked around for about an hour, had some ice cream, then took off. It was really a fun place to visit!"
