Crystal River

In the latest Travel Insider Podcast, we visit Crystal River, a coastal city in western Florida. An hour and a half west of Orlando, Crystal River sits proudly in the heart of Florida’s Nature Coast. It’s a city that prides itself on presenting the old-time authentic side of Florida – before the ‘mouse with the big ears’ arrived!
