Rome to Positano by car?
 
Does anyone know how many hours does it take from Rome to Positano by car?

saps Oct 16th, 2006 03:14 PM

about 3.5 hours (without traffic) plus add some extra time for getting lost several times.

You can make it in 3 if you hustle, but why do you want to make that drive?

Why not Bob? We'll be doing the same thing because we want to have a car in AC. Do you suggest going by train to Naples and rent a car there?

JoyC,
I think bob may have been trying to discourage even having a car on the Amalfi Coast. From a previous post of yours I see that you have driven the Amalfi Coast before so you know what the roads and towns are like.

The drive from Rome to Naples is very easy and a straight shot. If you already have a car then you should be fine.

If you don't have a car already the high speed train is a good choice to Naples.

OK, so be it. I have done that but find it is just too much hassle to manage the car.

I for one always have a car when I'm in Italy and do not think of it as a hassle. If you haven't been there, stop in Pompeii on the way.
