Stadiou
Stadiou {Σταδίου} street, in much older times, was hard to cross due to the flume which ran there. It was paved in the 19th century and it was named "Fidiou" {Φειδίου} street. It was later renamed to "Akakion" {Ακακιών} street and then to "Stadiou" as according to the intitial plan for Athens, which never materialized, the street would reach the Kallimarmaron Pan-Athenian Stadium {Καλλιμάρμαρον Παναθηναϊκόν Στάδιον} [The Stadium].
