How to type greek in LaTeX environment?

Question

I'm Greek. I want to be able to type various sentences and phrases in greek in TexMaker preferably. Is there a way to do so, by installing additional packages, or configuring those already installed etc?
I had these installed
usepackage{lmodern}
usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
usepackage[LGR, T1]{fontenc}
usepackage{textgreek}

But i get many errors with the greek letters, such as "textomicron unavailable in encoding T1. See the LaTeX manual..". I've tried various things to no avail. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Use babel:

documentclass{article}
usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
usepackage[greek,english]{babel}
usepackage{lmodern}

begin{document}

This is in English, but we also have
textgreek{μια φράση στα ελληνικά}

end{document}
