i thought it KAH-pree

When I was there last summer, that's how I was told it was pronounced multiple times.

We didn't go to KAH pree as we were told it was going to be miserably packed. I've heard the same from others in summer time.

We stayed on the northern part of the peninsula - just above Punta Masa Lubrense - as we wanted a little quieter area and it was amazing. Did a private boat day down the coast from Nerano to Maiori and back, and the major spots(Positano, Amalfi, etc) were absolutely slammed every time we passed. It just didn't seem worth it to me, but to each their own. Granted, that was seeing it from the water, but lines getting to every dock and people everywhere.

Get a private tour guide if you go to Pompei. Very much worth it.
