'''Aiolou Street''' (Greek: Οδός Αιóλου) (also '''[[Eolou Street]]''') is a street in downtown [[Athens]], the [[Greece|Greek]] capital. It is named after [[Aeolus]], the god of winds in [[Greek mythology]]. The street is one-way and originally ran entirely southbound but since the closure of [[Athinas Street]] in the late-[[1990s]] as part of the renovation plan, the part north of [[Lykourgou Street]] is one-way northbound. The street begins in Pelopidas Street further south of [[Ermou Street]] and ends in [[Panepistimiou Street]] (Eleftheriou Venizelou Avenue) and north of this street is 28 Oktovriou or [[Patission Street]].

==History==

The street was first laid in the [[19th century]] and was the first street in Athens to be paved. Neoclassical buildings were built then as well and are still present today in the southern and the central part of the street. After [[World War II]] and the Greek [[Civil War]], modern eight to ten storey buildings were built in the northern part and traffic lights were installed on Adrianou, Ermou, Evrypidou, Sofokleous, Stadiou and Panepistimiou/28 Oktovriou (Patissi) intersections.

The General Post Office of Greece is situated at number 100 Aiolou Street.
