Walking Tours of the Naples Historic District:
An historic tour of Old Naples and its role as a "summerland in wintertime".

Tour the original Naples on the Gulf and see it as it was at the end of the nineteenth century.  Walk along Historic Third Street South where the original movie theater, general store and gas station are now occupied by modern stores.  Visit the location where the Grand Naples Hotel once stood and hosted such guests as Rose Cleveland.  Stroll through the neighborhoods of Old Naples where notables such as the DuPonts and the city’s founders, the Haldemans, lived.  Originally known as a “sportsman’s paradise”, attracting fisherman and hunters alike, it was Naples’ pull as a resort town that captivated many famous and important visitors and brought about the nickname, “summerland in wintertime”.  The charm of Naples’ history that is revealed on this walking tour is part of what adds to the city’s appeal today.
