Here the water from Argostoli flows into the lake before flowing back into the sea.

The Karavomilos Lake is an idyllic brackish lake in the coastal village of the same name on the Greek island of Kefalonia, about 2 km west of Sami. It is known for its tranquil atmosphere, lush vegetation, and its fascinating geological connection to the famous Melissani cave lake.
The lake is fed by an underground karst system. Seawater that disappears on the other side of the island near Argostoli (Katavothres) flows underground across the island, mixes with freshwater, and reappears here and in the Melissani Cave.
