Art And Antiques Around Florida: I want to know…
Cedar Key Florida. What to do to fill an afternoon.?
we're on vacation in Cedar Key, Florida. four brothers and sisters adults. one likes to walk (and have already Walked around several times on the sidelines of cedar), we are not interested in "shopping" in malls, but we love antique shops and art and craft shops. we do not want to fish. we will not mind driving 50 miles or more in a special place that would be fun to see. What is of interest nearby.
It is a little over 50 miles but the city of Tarpon Springs (just down Route 19) is a very interesting place to visit. It is the original Greek sponge divers and they still have visits, and others. Also some of the best Greek food you will ever have. The city is picturesque, waterfront lot of fun. Give it a try!
