This will be the first visit by an Indian Prime Minister to Greece in 40 years.
Modi arrived in the Greek capital from South Africa this morning, where he attended the 15th BRICS Summit and held bilateral meetings with several world leaders to further cement India's relations with those countries.
After his arrival, members of the Indian diaspora accorded a warm welcome to PM Modi outside the hotel in Athens where he will stay during his one-day official visit.
Later in the day, Modi will receive a ceremonial reception upon his arrival. He will also visit the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, where he will lay a wreath.
