Eleni Balerba was born in Athens, near the sea. As a child, she used to spend her holidays on the beach where she started to embellish her own swimsuits with little stones, shells and seaweed she found around her, and sooner all her friends wanted her to do the same for them.
Later on, she met captain Elias Pipinos, they married and together they embarked on and adventure all over Greek Islands with a typical greek boat, named Les Enfants de Pirée. Many visitors had the opportunity to discover this amazing country guided by Eleni and Elias.
