As Greek voters head to the polls this Sunday for the European Parliament elections, the country's major political parties are holding last-ditch rallies to drum up support and maximise turnout.

According to the latest opinion polls, the ruling centre-right party, New Democracy, led by Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, is heavily tipped to lead the results.

Left-wing party Syriza is expected to take second place, with centre-left Pasok trailing in third.

The election comes after a campaign that largely revolved around the country's cost of living crisis.
