- 5.0 St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Cathedral (255 reviews)
-GO IN. Do not miss the beauty of this sanctuary.
Sunday: 7:00 AM - 1:00 PM Spent < 1 hour Religious Sites
St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Cathedral was founded in 1905 and is the first and original Greek Orthodox Christian parish of the Tampa-St. Petersburg area. The present Cathedral was completed during WWII, in 1943. Much of the interior marble, including the iconostasis (icon screen), is from the Greek pavilion of the 1939 World's Fair in New York City. The Cathedral contains actual relics of St. Nicholas of Myra and is a point of pilgrimage for those who seek the intercessions of this most beloved of Christian saints. The Cathedral tower is the tallest architectural structure in Tarpon Springs and serves as the heart of the downtown and city. In the plaza to the north of the Cathedral is the famous "Cross Diver" statue which captures the pinnacle of the annual Epiphany Day (January 6) celebration for which the St. Nicholas Cathedral parish is known the world over. At the base of the statue are the names of young men - Orthodox Christian and non-Orthodox Christian - who made the supreme sacrifice during World War II. See more..

-Great for dogs!
Parks • Dog Tracks
We rode by here on our bikes and couldn’t help but imagine how much fun it must have been for the canines to have their own park in Tarpon Springs. Dogs could frolic in the grass and play with each other without being judged or reprimanded for poor behavior. Definitely worth a visit if you’re a dog. See more..
- 5.0 New Beginning Oneness Center (1 review)
-New Beginning Oneness Center New Age Church and Learning Center
Spent 2-3 hours Missions
New Beginning Oneness Center is a great place to gather and meet. There is a service on Sunday mornings that would be like a "church" service but more in the metaphysical vein. They are very community oriented with other progressive classes, workshops and community service. See more..
