Pinsteps. Aiolou street meets the Voreou
Places to visit in Athens. Languages: en

The area at the intersection of Voreou and Skouze Streets is known for their vibrant mix of shops, restaurants, cafes, and other local businesses.

Voreou Street is known for its eclectic mix of shops and businesses, including vintage clothing stores, local speciality shops, and charming cafes. Here, you can find everything from vintage clothing to handmade jewellery and artisanal gifts. The street is also known for its vibrant nightlife, with many bars and clubs open late into the night.

Skouze Street, on the other hand, is known for its bustling street market, where vendors sell everything from fresh produce to handmade crafts and clothing. The street is a hub of activity and is a great place to experience the bustling energy of Athens. Here, you can sample delicious local food, browse the wares of local vendors, and soak up the unique atmosphere of this historic city.

Voreou Street is thought to have been named after the ancient Greek word "vorreia," which means "up north." This name was likely chosen because the street was once located on the northern edge of Athens and was a main route out of the city.

As for Skouze Street, its origin is somewhat of a mystery. Some believe that it may have been named after a famous Athenian merchant or politician who lived in the area, while others believe that it may have been named after the Turkish word "skutze," meaning "market." This latter theory is supported by the fact that the street was once a busy market area where vendors sold their wares to residents.
