What to expect

Your driver collects you from Rome and begins the eight-hour journey south. Most services include a stop at Pompeii, where you can wander the excavated city independently or book a two-hour guided tour for additional cost. The archaeological site demands comfortable footwear and a couple of hours minimum. After Pompeii, you continue toward Positano, with views of the coastline opening up as you approach the Sorrentine Peninsula. The drive includes motorway stretches and winding coastal roads. You'll arrive in Positano with daylight fading, depending on departure time.
