Sponge Docks. On Dodecanese Avenue, this area is the centre of all sponging and fishing activity in the city. Right by the water, the street features many shops, restaurants and attractions. Although a bit tacky, there is a dishevelled charm to it.
Bayous. Various bayous border the city and are perfect places for a stroll or, if possible, a leisurely boat ride. On Epiphany day, a Greek-Orthodox Holiday, the holiday is commemorated with the traditional diving for the cross, where young men dive in the Spring Bayou, on spring Street, to recover a sunken cross.
Tarpon Avenue. A charming old street featuring historic buildings and a few shops.
