The Parlante Group introduces you to Naples, FL.
Naples, Florida, the city on the Gulf Of Mexico started as
a small fishing village only decades ago. Situated on the
southwest corner of the Florida penninsula, Naples began attracting
wealthy businessmen in the 1880's. Individuals looking for
Florida's last frontier were rewarded with the variety of
fish and game that thrived along the edge of the Everglades.
Naples' warm winter months attract northern Americans from
the Midwest and North Atlantic states. They are referred to
as snowbirds by the locals. These winter residents nearly
double the area's population each year. Currently, more than
200,000 residents, including noted authors, artists, business
leaders and athletes make Naples their home year-round!
Naples Bay, Wiggins Pass, the Gordon River and the Gulf of
Mexico are some of Florida's MOST beautiful waterways!
With so much charm, Naples captures both visitors and residents
alike. More than just a beachfront, Naples thrives with community
activities and social gatherings.
 Annual
events such as Summer Jazz On The Gulf, Indian Pow Wow Days,
and the Swamp Buggy Races are just a few that residents and
visitors have a chance to participate in with good old fashioned
FUN! The Festival of Lights is a year's end celebration that
turns Olde Naples into a glittering wonderland of 50,000 twinkling
lights.
Naples has many venues for several different tastes. From
old world charm to convenient and modern shopping districts.
Recent additions to the area's shopping districts are a variety
of bistros, cafes and coffee shops that have opened this past
year along Fifth Avenue South.
Cultural treasures, such as the Philharmonic Center for the
Arts and the Naples Players, bring the night to life! Live
Jazz and local performers fill the evenings with music at
many area restaurants. Watersports, from fishing to skiing,
surfing to sailing are the highlight of Naples.
Golf may rank as one of the most popular Neapolitan pastimes.
With more than 50 courses in the Naples area, it's no wonder
that visitors who enjoy the game return again and again!
