The flight from Germany will land two days before Greece is officially scheduled to open its regional airports to passenger traffic on July 1.
Greece has registered fewer than 200 deaths attributed to COVID-19.
With a quarter of the nation's economy dependent on tourism, the government seeks to reassure potential visitors they can safely vacation in Greece as Europe begins to open back up to travel.
Nearly 80 hotels nationwide have been set aside to exclusively accommodate COVID-19 cases, state TV ERT said.
Hundreds of tests are to be conducted daily at regional and island airports around the country, according to the civil protection authority.
Passengers will have to fill out locator forms, including their address of stay, at least 48 hours before entering the country.
The EU has yet to determine a list of 'safe' countries allowed to visit Europe.
The proposed list so far includes Algeria, Australia, Canada, Georgia, Japan, Montenegro, Morocco, New Zealand, Rwanda, Serbia, South Korea, Thailand, Tunisia, and Uruguay.
