Plakas

Tarpon Springs it mostly known for the famous Sponge Docks, located in the core of Tarpon. It has many small family owned shops, along with many Greek style cuizine restaruants. My personal favorite would have to be Plakas. Plakas is not very big, it is more like a hole in the wall, you dont see it at first glance. Its specialty is of course the Gyro. Plakas has been said to have the "Best Gyro in the world", so i just had to try one. I've learned over many years that the older greeks get very upset if you pronounce their specialty G-Y-R-O instead of the correct way, YEE-ROH. The staff working there was very nice and seem very personable. It was a great croud to be around! I ended up having the Gyro. It was delicious! So many flavors, and a homemade Tsziki sauce to cover it. It really was the "Best in the world".
