Charming little shop! And wow... We love the variety of goats milk soap. The mens fragrances are the best that Ive found anywhere. We will definitely be back to stock up.

This is the best shop on the sponge docks and likely the most overlooked as it is the first one on the strip. Be sure to stop here! Its a rather large shop that has several different sections including a theatre room that plays a free informational video on the area and sponge diving.They have a great selection of gifts and souvenirs, including a large selection of sea shells and handmade soaps that are incredible. I highly recommend visiting.

Very low prices. Terrific sponge selection & they have thier own sponge boat.

Adorable little shop where the owner creates a good deal of his merchandise.

They have the most amazing scented lavender scrub. When Im in the area again, Ill definitely be stopping back by!

Sponges seem very pricey in this whole area considering how many retail options there are and the fact its sponge capital of the world. However The Sponge Factory had the best selection, variety and prices of them all. They even had some other good bath items like wooden nail brushes and many good quality HBA products.

Visiting Tarpon Springs docks,enjoyed the selection of sponges and soaps and customer service to accomplish some Christmas gift purchases,

Great shopping here! I love the Tarpon Springs area...very neat shops! Had a ball here while on vacationI will be back again!

They have some really cool educational material there when they show the movies about the Sponge Docks and the history of it.

Great shop! I found some really great gift ideas and spoiled mysel eith shells, sponges and hand made soap. I left this shop till last so I dont carry stuff with me, so glad I didnt overlook it. Best variety and natural beauty products. Most of all I loved the Greek music playing! Definitely cheered up my day

I love Tarpon Springs, and while youre there make sure you take a few minutes out to watch the video and educate yourself on the sponges. Very cool please

One of the better shops in town. Good movie about the history of sponge diving and good educational pics and info in the back. Nice staff. Great selection.

Very informative and educational for all ages

The merchandise in the store is nice,the man in the register harrass me and my daughter because we have bags from Loris store claiming that our purshase was bad because their products are from China and his from Greek Island.He was rude and obnoxious he disrespect us and embarrassed us.I would not recommend no one to buy anything from that crazy pls hack.

An awesome gift shop in Tarpon Springs Fl.

Awesome place to get sponges. We shopped up and down the strip and they seemed to have the best prices. Also their Aphrodite skin care products are amazing. Very friendly customer service and knowledgeable about everything in the store.

A nice little shop full of sponges and sponge related and nautical stuff. Most everything is overpriced, but, I would expect that from any shop in this area.

Love this shop! The lotions and soap line amazing. The video explaining the harvesting is interesting and a great watch for the whole family.

Nice place to spend a few hours with the family...

My first time there and it was exciting to see all the pretty things they have there to offer.

Great olive oil lotions, shampoo and soaps, and of course sea sponges ️

Had a great time visiting and looking over the place.

Love this place. Always come here.

Loved it...very nice

One of the best shops on the strip.

Tarpon Springs is a fun place to visit, and obviously you will make it down to the sponge docks if youre there. There are many stores to choose from, and for the most part their prices are all competitive. I particularly like this place because they were the largest among all of them, and had everything I was looking for in one place. They also had some interesting Greek dessert treats, which is always nice! :-)

This place is awesome. Kids love it we do also. Great atmosphere for everyone.

Good place to see l kinds of sponges from all over the world and in all sizes. It is not an expensive place but very educational.

Great place for food fun and love.

Great gifts and fun all up and down the Sponge Docks

The owner was very kind and helpful, we were trying to find a birthday gift, he let us sample a lot of products. There was also an educational video and room in the back of the store. Most lotions and goat milk/ olive oil was local and hand made.

Liars. Grabbed 2 sponges from the 2 for $24 bin. They charged me $32. I point this out oh but yours are larger. This place is full of thieves trying to screw over tourists. Avoid. Plenty of other places to buy sponges on this street.

It was a wonderful experience! The display of all the different sponges was great! Real nostalgic moment for me.

Sunday Funday ! Beautiful day for a drive . Best thing is the food

Awesome products &.prices. Nice staff

Amazing stuff love how its interactive.

The louphas were extremely rough but the award winning movie got it 4 stars, will come back anytime. Never get the shammies wet by the way and avoid the deer and cow hide.

Interesting place

Great little Greek sponge store and fun place to learn more about the sponge industry.

Cool place to shop and sight see. Love Greek. Visit the docks!
