The present tense in Greek does double duty as both simple present and continuous present tense. That is, if you say
Αυτός γράφει ένα γράμμα.
You may translate it as either “He writes a letter” or “He is writing a letter,” depending on your meaning. There's no distinction between these forms in present tense.
FYI: the name for present tense in Greek is:
ενεστώτας
