Walkability is treasured in Olde Naples, and there are many desirable places to visit. The iconic Naples Pier, built in 1888, is the oldest structure in Naples, and just down the street is city’s oldest home, the historic Palm Cottage, constructed by Walter Haldeman, one of Naples’ founding residents, in 1895. With rich history and a vibrant downtown, Olde Naples is the beautiful blend of old and new.
Containing the city’s downtown historic district, Olde Naples is the perfect blend of city and beach. Coconut palms, banyan trees, and tropical flowers line shopping promenades while art galleries and theatres offer a different kind of culture.
