Naples
You will find a slower pace in Naples, which just means more time to enjoy the breathtaking vistas visible from hidden gems like the Carolabarb Park scenic overlook. Three wineries are found in and around the village, ready for your group to do some tasting and shopping. Be sure to get a grape pie while in town. Naples is the grape pie capital of the world!
