Eleni Varoufaki, closely tied to her beloved Palaio Faliro, walks its streets. Not only does she pass through all of them, but she also stands for a while in each one, commemorating the historical and mythical figures that have lent them their names. Through this book, she wanted to share this walk with her fellow citizens, the visitors to Palaio Faliro and her readers.
From 1986 onward, she was continuously elected as a municipal councillor in Palaio Faliro, and from 1998 to 2000 she served as Deputy Mayor.
She was married to Professor George Varoufakis, with whom she had two children: Yanis Varoufakis, a university professor, politician, and former Minister of Finance of Greece, and Trisevgeni Varoufaki, a judge of the Council of State, Greece’s highest administrative court.
