When I was looking for places to visit I don't remember seeing of much
around Naples to recommend it. More than likely it is just because I
don't
know the area. I like good food (not fancy, just good) and historic
sites -
what do you recommend Dr. Tooth?

What kind of food? You almost can't go wrong with any of the places along
5th Avenue or 3rd Street South...but they're expensive. If you want a
specific type of food, I can make a more specific recommendation.


As for historic sites...
Naples has virtually none. It *was* a mosquito-laden town overgrown with
mangroves that relied on deliveries brought in via the 1/4 mile long
Naples
pier in the Gulf. You will not find the historic sites found in places
like
Williamsburg, Philadelphia, Savannah, etc. However, within a half hours
drive or boat ride you can visit the Edison and Ford mansions/museums in
Ft.
Myers, the Koreshan State Historic site in Estero, the Calusa Indian
island
made of shells (Mound Key in Estero), numerous Conservancy's and nature
centers, or travel the Tamiami Trail to Miami and stop at the old trading
post down in Chokoloskee.


Thanks.

Next time I pass through I will post for more specific info.
