As is the case with all gods, they are real to the people who worship them. To the ancient Greeks, their gods and goddesses were just as real as the Abrahamic God is to modern Christians, Muslims and Jews. They worshiped and prayed to the gods whenever the need arose. They believed that if they offended any of the gods, then disaster would befall them. In the scientific sense, gods and goddesses may not be real, but faith made them so in terms of their effect on people's lives.
No, the Greek gods and goddesses are not real. In the ancient times, the Grecian people did not know the reason behind simple events, such as thunderstorms. As a result of this, they made up the gods and goddesses to give meanings to various events, not only thunderstorms, but also drought, famine, and death. It is said that creating these myths gave the people a sense of comfort and knowledge because it showed that everything had a cause that was logical to the Greek mind.
