Politimi is the mother of a 12 year old daughter, Notary Secretary and a Vathy local. She loves Ithaca, the place she was born and raised, her job, which she has been doing for 15 years, and most importantly, her daughter, Effi, who she proclaims looks exactly like her niece Vikki (another Vathy local). Politimi can't imagine living anywhere else, Ithakis lifestyle suits her and her daughter down to the ground. The meaning of the name Politimi, in a basic translation, means 'much value', and after speaking with her, there is no doubt of her value to the island and the community of Ithaca..
