Are there any groups of people in any part of the world that still truly believe in Greek gods and goddesses? Is there is a religion in existance today that still believes in the Greek gods and goddesses?
If not, what is now the predominant religion in Greece?
If so, elaborate...

There are many forms or so-called "paths" in neo-paganism. Greek traditions included: http://www.greekwicca.com/
The dominant religion in modern Greece is Greek Orthodox Christianity, an early offshoot of Roman Catholicism.

Last I checked the predominant religion in Greece was Greek Orthodox Christianity.
As to sincere worshipers of Pagan Gods, Greek and otherwise, there are Pagans all over the world, since you specify the Greek I might suggest you look into Dianic Wicca, which centers around the Moon Goddess, Diana to the Romans, Artemis to the Greeks.
For the record the Icelanders still worship Odin, and there is at least one nation in Africa which has adopted Voodoo as it's National Religion.

No the Greek goddesses and gods are just that, mythology. Now Greece is Greek Orthodox, a type of Catholicism, ie. Christian.
I believe that the Delphic oracles really did make prophesies.

Not so much still, as again. There are some neopagans who worship the Greek pantheon. In modern Greece the predominant religion is Greek Orthodox Christianity.

There are different groups that recreate with as much accuracy as they can the ancient polytheistic religions. It's not dominant by any means, but it exists. Try doing a Google search. There are also many Pagans and Wiccans that invoke the ancient Goddesses and Gods.

I don't think anybody still believes in those gods. Greeks now are Orthodox Christian. Greece was one of the first places Paul began preaching.

I know a lot of the neo-pagans pay respect to the older Gods and Goddesses but I don't know that I would call it worship.

I don't believe in them. I love to read them. I like to learn all I can about the culture of ancient times. The story of Romulus and Remus of the Romans is one of my favorites. Also the Norse Gods, Odin and Thor. Any and all of them. That doesn't mean I believe them, just enjoy reading about them.
