Hellas Restaurant

When we owned our restaurant we used to purchase our Greek Spinach Pie, Baklava, and Wedding cookies from Hellas restaurant and bakery. They are just amazing. Hellas Restaurant is located on the main street of Tarpon Springs sponge docks area. It is across from the water. It is a large restaurant with plenty of tables and seats. I have tried several of the Greek dishes but always come back to the Lamb Shank. You just can't beat it. The prices are a little higher than the back street restaurants. This is definitely a tourist trap. However, you will enjoy the food. You can either park in the $3 parking areas or drive around the back and park on the street for free. I have never found a free parking space right by the water. If you have half a day to spare then check it out. more

This is the place for authentic Greek food. The little town of Tarpon Springs is like being on a Greek island. Hellas has a full sized restaurant, lovely bakery, and superb atmosphere. Very pleasant staff. The bakery serves you at bistro tables or boxes it up for you. All kinds of delightful items to chose from. Baklava is why we go in. It's worth every penny to taste the mix of honey and chocolate and custard. Parking near this restaurant is on the street or in parking areas within walking distance. And you'll want to walk around this location. Everything about Tarpon Springs is Old World. Hellas is conveniently located in the center of everything. So you take a 75 minute boat ride to see the dolphin in the wild jump for joy. And come back for a cup of rich coffee and a pastry. It's instead of teatime. more
