Can I leave the airport during a 24-hours layover, traveling to Greece through Frankfurt, using a national D visa?

Accepted answer

Yes, you can leave the airport. You will have to pass through immigration controls in Frankfurt in any event to reach your departure gate. You must therefore do so even if you don't leave the airport, and you will not pass through immigration controls in Greece.

Your flight from Germany to Greece is an internal Schengen flight, effectively a domestic flight. Therefore after you return to the airport you will not pass through a passport control checkpoint.
