Naples : Learning About The Historical Landmarks

I made an afternoon visit in Naples where the weather that day was around 70 degrees Fahrenheit.

Naples is known as the crown jewel of Southwest Florida only a few steps away from island seclusion or the untamed tropical wilderness of The Everglades. It is nestled on the sun drenched beaches of the Gulf of Mexico. It is also popularly known as an ideal place for world class shopping, great dining experience, and abundant choices of challenging golf courses. 

The city also boasts as having one of the nation's best sandboxes and calmest seas. This makes Naples very popular with water lovers and recreationists. A lot of parks with lovely green spaces and recreational facilities attract sports, health enthusiasts, and picnickers.
