You can use an input method:  run toggle-input-method with a prefix (C-u 
C-\) and select greek.  Toggle back to latin with C-\.

Leim?

,----[ <info://emacs/Input+Methods> ]
|    Input methods are implemented in the separate Leim package: they are
| available only if the system administrator used Leim when building
| Emacs.  If Emacs was built without Leim, you will find that no input
| methods are defined.

Of course, assuming that you have "leim" installed in the first place.

Typing "C-h C-\ RET" should display a ``picture'' of the keyboard
where each key is labeled with the Greek character it produces.
