History
The village was founded by the Ottoman Turks, it was known as Emirler (Емирлер in Bulgarian). After a brief period of Bulgarian rule between 1913 and 1919, it became part of Greece. As a result, its Bulgarian and Turkish population was exchanged with Greek refugees, mainly from today's Turkey. Kavyli joined the municipality of Vyssa in the late 1990s.
