I have family in Naples, so I'm pretty familiar with that patch, but there's a piece I've always wanted to explore, just never had the time.
That's the Tamiami Trail (aka US41), south of all the development, thru the Everglades to Miami (connects with I-95 eventually). Took a short jaunt of a few miles down it once and was impressed by how quickly it turned to pure wilderness, flocks of disturbed egrets both sides of the 2-lane, and who knows what else. Pure old school Florida. Virtually no traffic, even in the thick of the tourist season, and I'm not sure, but I think it goes thru the Miccosukee indian reservation. So if you're up for a little diversion (and maybe some adventure), turn right at Exit 101, instead of left to Alligator Alley/Ft. Liquordale, and pick up US41 about 10 miles in toward Marco Island. Lemme know how it goes.
