High-end shopping, golf, nature trails and blinding beaches – we'd like to see you try and name something Naples holidays don't cover.
Sophisticated Sunshine State
Naples might have you picturing Vespas whizzing through narrow Italian alleys. But this city’s stateside – on Florida’s Gulf Coast, to be exact. And its charm is more classy than chaotic. The Mediterranean-style mansions and manicured golf courses have a European flavour. But the marshmallow-white beaches add Caribbean flair. It’s not called the Paradise Coast for nothing.
Beach babe
If there was a beach lottery, this place would pull the winning ticket. Its city beach bucks the trend with its supersized and super-soft sands. Plus, you can ogle gawp-worthy sunsets and dolphins from its historic pier. Then there are the minus-the-make-up stretches. Delnor-Wiggins State Park has a whopping 166 acres of untouched sand to play with.
Downtown digs
There’s no shortage of places to splash the cash in Naples. 5th Avenue’s people-friendly prom’s a good place to start. The fancy boutiques here are stuffed with designer clobber. Its shopping centres are just as flash – the shops are joined by sculptures and bubbling fountains. And you won’t be able to walk a block down Third Street South without stumbling upon an art gallery.
Green giant
The whole of Naples is practically one big botanical garden. Here, the palms, bougainvillea and shrubs aren’t reserved for parks. But if that’s not enough to satisfy your green fingers, there’s also a 170-acre botanical garden and a nature centre with a wildlife hospital. Plus, you can play spot the gator at the Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary or the Everglades – both are less than an hour’s drive.Recommended Hotels
