This is one of the easiest structured day trips from Naples because the main attraction gives the day shape. Tour the estates, walk the gardens, grab lunch in Fort Myers, and come home without needing a late night.
Day Trip
Day Trip Idea: Edison and Ford Winter Estates
A Fort Myers history day with gardens, homes, museum exhibits, lunch nearby, and a clean same-day drive back.
Plan your Naples weekend before everyone starts texting.
Every Friday morning: events, local notes, and a few useful updates from around town.
