    Krisula is an AMAZING guide/story teller. She talkes you on a journey that immerses you in the rich Greek history of Tarpon Springs and the fascinating sponge industry. The journey is enriched with Krisula's 5 generation local family. The stops are significant, and the memories she shares personalized. We did the sponge boat St Nicholas located at Dimetries the day before, and it was a perfect combination. And when we walked by the St Nicholas crew with Krisula, it was hugs and hellos. Like we were visiting family. We created a beautiful memory and made a friend!

    Our Sponge Dock Stroll with Krisula was very informative. We learned a lot about the history of the Greek settlement in Tarpon Springs and how sponging has changed over time. The stop at National bakery was delish! We would recommend to those wanting to spend some time really understanding this lovely community. Many thanks!
