Driving Time from Positano to Pompeii Using Highway

[gemz]

Thought I had everything worked out timewise until I found out that the pizzaria restaurant at the Hotel Montemare in Positano doesn't open for lunch until 12:30 pm. I would like to eat lunch and drive up (Rome in Limo) to Pompeii and spend a maximum of 2 hrs there and be back at the ship by 5:30 pm. Would anyone know what the driving time on a Friday afternoon in late September be if we use the highway to go back up to Pompeii?

 

Thank you!

From Positano it's faster to retrace your steps back to Sorrento and head to Pompei that way, I'd figure on an hour, maybe a little less.

 

If you were further down the Amalfi coast road when you were ready to turn around, then it would make sense to keep going on to Vietri Sul Mare and pick up the highway there, but not from Positano.
