She published her first album of her own compositions (Η Αρλέτα τραγουδά, Arleta sings) in 1966 and became one of the leading figures of the Greek New Wave during the 1960s. At the beginning of her career she worked with many well-known Greek composers like Giannis Spanos, George Kontogiorgos, Manos Hatzidakis and Mikis Theodorakis.

In 1997 she published a book, Από πού πάνε για την Άνοιξη(How to Get to Spring), which was based on her songwriting and included her own illustrations.
