During the interwar period, around Vourla, there were various café-taverns for patrons, sailors, and fleet sailors who came to Piraeus to enjoy themselves. However, they reveled alone, without female presence, because the prostitutes were confined in Vourla. Thus, cabarets gradually sprouted in Trouba; to entertain with women and, most importantly, to spend money. And when Vourla closed, the heyday of Trouba began. Many things have been said about Trouba. For the Church, it was a place of debauchery. For the state, the immoral hindrance to its work. For the respectable residents, the shame of Piraeus. For the sailors, a place of entertainment and revelry. For the adolescents, the initiation into love. For the prostitutes, the refuge from society's contempt. And for the madams and pimps, the easy way to make money.
