She has published the books: "Without Identity" (self-published, Athens 1983), "Iridescences" (Govosti Publications, 1990), "Eos" (Govosti Publications, 1992), "The Journey of Love from Olympus to the Waves of the Aegean" (Olympus Publications, Katerini 2008), among others. Her articles on cultural topics have been published in many print newspapers in the Pieria region.
