The New Democracy party leader attended the ceremony at the presidential palace on Monday with his wife and three children, before heading to the prime ministerial office for a handover with outgoing leader Alexis Tsipras.
It followed a comfortable win for the party in Sunday's general election, which took 39.85% (99% of the ballots counted) of the vote.
The ceremony on Monday was led by Archbishop of Athens, Ieronymos.
