Karvounari (Greek: Καρβουνάρι) is a village and a community in the municipal unit of Paramythia in Thesprotia, Greece.

Like all other Muslim Cham communities, the population was affected by the annexation of the region by Greece.

[2] In 1928, representatives from the Cham communities in Paramythia, Karvounari and Filiates, requested the opening of two Muslim schools which they would fund themselves.

The Greek authorities officially rejected the request, arguing that "these Muslim schools would serve Albanian state propaganda by promoting an anti-Greek sentiment among the Chams of Greece".

Regardless, the Greek government allowed their operation unofficially because it could close them as illegal at any time, and could also claim that their function fulfilled demands for Albanian schools in Chameria.
