Weather

Naples has a humid (sub)tropical climate with warm conditions year-round though with some distinct seasons. Summers are from May to October when temperatures are mostly between 30 °C and 33 °C during the day and around 20-24 °C at night. This is also the wet season with 70% of the annual precipitation (1,300 mm) falling from June to September (around 200-250 mm a month). This precipitation usually comes in the form of short-lived afternoon thunderstorms, though you will see the occasionally gloomy, drizzling days. Also, the occasional hurricane can strike the area with massive destructions possible. November to April is by far a better time to visit, with days of 24-29 °C and nights in the 13-17 °C range. There is still a shower or two but with around 50 mm a month most of your days will be quiet, sunny and dry.

Getting There

By Plane

Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW), also known as Fort Myers International Airport, about 45 minutes north up Route 75, is the main gateway for Naples and the surrounding area, including Cape Coral and Fort Myers. It mainly has connections to other cities in the USA, but there are quite a few flights to Toronto and less so to Montreal and even Düsseldorf.

Getting Around

By Car

Driving is the easiest way to get around town as, except for a small downtown area, Naples is very spread out.

By Public Transport

By Foot

Except for downtown Naples, in the 5th Avenue area, Naples is spread very wide and walking is not a very convenient means of travel, especially in the Naples heat.

Eat

If money is not an important issue when it comes to dining, Naples has a lot to offer. Many residents, after travelling to exotic places famous for their foods, are happy to return the quality and selection on offer in Naples. Naples also offers a reasonable selection for those of us on limited food budgets.

Foxboro Tavern - this bar/restaurant is a great place to watch Boston sports, sometimes. On New England Patriot (American Football) game days, the owner throws huge events that include music and play-by-play commentary by... him. It gets a little in the way of watching the game, but many enjoy it. The food here is great. Bar food goes gourmet. High-quality New England favorites and other pub grub is on offer.
