Greek bakeries, sponge boats, and a working waterfront on the Anclote River.
Dodecanese Boulevard is the Sponge Docks: Greek restaurants and bakeries, sponge boats still working the Anclote River, and the highest share of Greek heritage of any U.S. city, a short walk from a historic downtown and Fred Howard Park’s beach.
