Karavomylos is a picturesque fish village in the west part of Sami and 1 km from the harbour.
The village is a big attraction for visitors as very close to it are some of the most famous natural sights in Kefalonia. The cave of Drogarates and the lake of Melissani. Karavomylos has a small circular lake, with lush vegetation and fresh water which flows into the sea.
The surrounding area has quaint geological phenomenons. Really impressive is the cave of Drogarati with rare stalagmites and stalactites. The interior can easily host a concert. The acoustics of the cave is similar to that of ancient theatres.
Very close to the cave is the underground lake of Melissani, which was discovered in 1951 by the speleologist Yiannis Petrohelos. A large part of the roof has fallen making it easy for exploration. This lake is a really impressive sight and not to be missed.
