Gulf Coast Style

by catalysta - last update: Nov 29, 2004

Welcome to Naples...

It doesn't get much sweeter
...where La Dolce Vita meets the Gulf Coast of Florida. Once upon a time Naples used to be as sleepy as any other town you could find on the Gulf Coast. But in 1887, the entire town was purchased by a group of wealthy entrepeneurs from Kentucky, who reinvented it as a posh winter resort.

Celebrities such as Hedy Lamarr & Greta Garbo flocked to Naples gorgeous white sand beaches to escape the dismal winter seasons of their homes in cold northern climates. That hasn’t changed today; movie stars & ex-presidents all have multi-million dollar winter estate homes in the Port Royal area, at the southern end of town.

 You just gotta love Florida, except maybe during hurricane season. Excellent tips on hotels and restaurants. No new pages yet?
