Not really nothing is really similar to Greek. Latin is the most similar language to Greek so therefore Italian and Spanish are the most similar languages today to Greek but Greek is probably the 7th most language similar to them.
Some words are the same though, e.g Piscina, fantastica, technologia, putana, programa, fantasma, porta, moderno.
A lot of the surnames are similar though.
