Default Best greek in Tarpon Springs

We will spend a couple of days in Tarpon Springs over 4 July. Any recommendation for great Greek food there. I did check TV gourmet club entries and did a search here but didn't find much.

Good food is much more important than atmosphere to us. TIA

We really enjoy "Mama's". It's right in a shopping center along the main drag about in the middle. There's always a person handing out coupons on the sidewalk by the center entrance. Tarpon Springs is a fun place.

Looks good. We left that area in 2005 to move to the Villages. My Dad raved about a small place in Tarpon Springs but I will have to do some research to see if it is still open.

Thanks for the replies. The one pushed on Yelp is Hella but it seems kind of touristy to me.

Mykonos lamb shank with orzo, Greek oven potatoes. So-o good.

Was told years and years ago all the basic Greek dishes are made in one place and sent to the restaurants. So a spinach pie in one is the same next door. A cook may add to it but same food. Pastries as well. Never had a bad meal in Tarpon! Enjoy!

Whichever one has the shortest line. Hellas will have a long line but if you get there early you may be fine. Demitris is good but again arrive before the rush.

Lived in the area for eleven years and found Costas to be great.

Without a doubt Hellas is the Best. (If I'm not in Greek Town in Chicago)

Mr Slovakis on Alt. 19 just south of the Dodocanese Blvd (street that takes you through the docks) The dish they call Greek Chow Mein. Very unique and not like what you think of as chow mean. Yuuuuuuuum
