Naples

Located right on the Gulf Coast, in the heart of southwest Florida, sits a slice of paradise renowned for its exquisite beauty. Described as "surpassing the bay of Naples, Italy," according to 19th-century promoters, the area's natural brilliance has always been the main attraction in tropical Naples. As a result, the city seems to stretch out north and south along the white sugar beaches and endless crystal waters. Take a leisurely stroll along the city streets, amidst the scurrying lizards and rustling palm trees, to discover some of the best areas of this once sleepy, backwater town.
