τι νέα; (ti nea?) [also: τι κάνεις; (ti kaneis?) πώς τα πας; (pos ta pas?) πώς πάει; (pos paei?)]


Explanation:
The most accurate Greek translation that matches the explanation you are giving is:

Tι νέα; (ti nea?) (=what's new?)

Nevertheless, in everyday language, when Greeks address other people and want to ask the same question ("what's up"), they also use the following phrases:

Tι κάνεις; (ti kaneis?) (=how are you, but you also expect the person to tell you what's going on in his/her life)

Πώς τα πας; (pos ta pas?)/Πώς πάει; (pos paei?) (=how are you doing?)
