Hi,<BR><BR>I'll be staying in Positano in early September WITH A RENTAL CAR.<BR><BR>Can someone please tell me approximately how long it will take to drive at that time of year:<BR>- From Positano to Amalfi?<BR>- From Amalfi to Salerno?<BR>- From Positano to Sorrento (around the peninsula)<BR><BR>Does day of the week or time of day make a big difference in how long these trips will take? I will be there mid-week.<BR><BR>Any driving/route tips would be appreciated also. <BR><BR>Thank you!

Hello David,<BR><BR>Approx. drive times are:<BR><BR>Positano-Amalfi ...... 40 mins.<BR>Amalfi-Salerno ....... 70 mins.<BR>Positano-Sorrento .... 40 mins.<BR><BR>If you avoid the rush hour you should be OK.<BR><BR>Hope this helps ...<BR><BR>Steve

Thanks Steve, that is really helpful. <BR><BR>What time span is considered "rush hour"?

David - I'd say avoid before 09.00 and 17.00-19.00.<BR><BR>Driving tips? DON'T BLINK!<BR><BR>Hope this helps ...<BR><BR>Steve<BR><BR><BR><BR>

Hi David. Allow a little time to find a parking place in some of the Amalfi Coast towns. Sometimes the lots can be crowded and street parking scarce, so you may have to spend some time looking for a place. JUst in case you need to make a reservation.

david--do text search on "Rules for Driving the Amalfi Coast" for humorous observations/tips on driving the AC.<BR>you'll have a great experience.
