WELCOMES YOU!

I t is with great pleasure that I welcome you to
the charming City of Naples. I am honored to be
serving this amazing city as the Mayor. Whether
you are a first-time visitor or a returning one, we are
sure that our town will leave a remarkable impression.
That is, if it has not done so already. While our city
may feel small, the opportunities are endless.

When it comes to Art and Culture, our city has it all.
While there are many classes and workshops held by
the Naples Art Association, it does not stop there.
You will find a variety of fine art galleries as there are
numerous hidden gems throughout our city. I also strongly encourage you to
plan a visit to The Naples Players at Sugden Community Theatre or Gulfshore
Playhouse to see a performance or two, for they have enriched our community
with culture.

As I am sure many of you are attracted by our year-round warm temperatures,
white sands, alluring beaches and breathtaking sunsets, I encourage you to take a
tour of our beautiful neighborhoods on the Naples Princess, Dolphin, or Liberty
or our fishing charters at the Naples City Dock. And if you love the outdoors as
much as I do, do not forget to plan a trip to the Naples Zoo at Caribbean Gardens
and the Naples Botanical Garden.

From our family-owned small shops, cafes and restaurants to our high-end
personable jewelry stores, there is no limit to what you will discover in Naples.
I am enthusiastic about the year ahead, as we continue to keep the City of Naples
the paradise that everyone knows and loves.

Many Blessings to all,

Mayor Heitmann
