Mr Obama is embarking on a farewell tour of Europe and will also attend a summit with Asia-Pacific leaders to reassure concerned allies after Donald Trump's election.
The US president this morning arrived in Greece, where he will hold talks with the country's leaders.
Obama is to visit the Parthenon, deliver a speech on the challenges of globalisation.
Security is tight in central Athens, with thousands of police officers on the streets and traffic cut off for several hours.
Civil servants, communists, far-left groups and anarchists all plan to hold demonstrations as Mr Obama travels to the Greek capital.
He then heads to Germany for key discussions with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, long one of his closest foreign partners.
He will also meet there with French President Francois Hollande, British Prime Minister Theresa May and Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi.
The leaders plan to discuss the crises in Syria and Ukraine, as well as the fight against the so-called Islamic State group.
