Naples is on the Gulf of Mexico, in the western part of Florida.
The cozy little city has no more than 20.000 inhabitants, but the number grows exponentially over the summer, when the tourism really makes its entry. The name Naples, which in Italian translates to Napoli, originates from the 1880s. Because of the geographical conditions, the place was compared to the Italian peninsula Naples.
If you are neither interested in nature or culture, then there is no need for despair, because Naples is also an unparalleled paradise in relation to its climate, beaches and parks. The climate in Naples is tropical due to its southern location. This means that on average during the summer time it is between 22 and 32 degrees Celsius, which must prove to be a fitting temperature. Since Naples has a lot of coastal line, it emphasizes the beaches, which attract many tourists to the warm country. Especially in the vacation area Paradise Coast, there is a large amount of prominent beaches.
If you do not feel like basking on the beach, there are also plenty of options for being active. Naples is called “The Golf Capital of the World” – and rightfully so. There is a wealth of golf courses in the city, and 80 tournaments are held there every year. It is said that the city has more golf holes per inhabitant than anyplace else, and the courses are even of the highest quality. If you dream of a golf holiday to the US, then Naples is the obvious destination.
The economy of Naples is based on tourism. The Everglades National Park, which is generally considered to be a paradise for alligators and many other exotic animal species, attracts a lot of nature enthusiasts, which is understandable, since the park is without a doubt worth a visit. Besides the Everglades, Naples has also based its economy on Marco Island, which is an island located in the Gulf of Mexico. The island is Naples’ most important one, because it holds two-thirds of Naples’ population and has a special, local culture. People often visit the island for two reasons. 1) Because the island’s climate is amazing, and also, the beaches are some of the best you can find. 2) Because large parts of the population have been or will become famous. The island has a tendency to foster significant personalities such as members of the Congress, athletes, actors, musicians, talk show hosts and many others.
As described above, Naples has a natural paradise in the shape of the Everglades National Park. In other words, if you are crazy about nature, Naples is the right place for you. On the other hand, if you are more into cultural things and enjoy experiencing the local culture, you can either visit Marco Island, or, for instance, The Naples Philharmonic Orchestra, the Equity Theater Company’s TheatreZone, the Philharmonic Center for the Arts or other artistic and musical attractions, where you will quickly become culturally enriched. In short, Naples is for everyone. The ones, who are interested in nature, as well as the culture-, the sport- or the charter enthusiast can all fit in. Naples is also an obvious destination to visit, when you travel to Florida.
