Naples is one of America's most luxurious small towns — Fifth Avenue shopping, the Ritz-Carlton beachfront, and an art scene that rivals larger cities. The drive from Tampa is 3 hours via I-75, and there's no better way to do it than in a Ferrari or Lamborghini.
The Tampa-to-Naples Drive
I-75 South is the most direct (3 hours). For a more scenic drive, take US-301 south through Palmetto, then west on the Sunshine Skyway across Tampa Bay (one of America's most photographed bridges), then south along the coast through Venice, Englewood, and Boca Grande to Naples. Adds 90 minutes but is unforgettable.
