There's not enough in this for me to cancel a trip if I was headed to Greece, but I'd certainly be thinking through a few strategies, including those already mentioned (i.e. taking extra cash to not rely on ATMs, increased personal security and a flexible travel plan). I never use an ATM when I travel, and always bring enough cash for spending money, so I’m not too concerned about that. I do use my credit card to purchase optional tours and more expensive items, but I guess I won’t be making any large purchases this trip. I’m not concerned about using my credit card for the optionals.

I think the next phase of this crisis will be one of inactivity. Germany and the other creditors will no doubt respect the democratic statement made by Greek voters, despite the deceitful, loaded question presented to them. But the creditor nations also have to respect their own voters.
Accordingly, why not leave things in the hands of the Greeks to present a credible idea? The Greek banks are almost out of cash and the vaults will possibly be empty by Tuesday or Wednesday. So the ball is in Greece's court to come up with something feasible to get an injection of cash. Just wait until the pressure mounts on Syriza when the cash crisis drags into another week and the people are starting to get desperate. Tsipras will come under immense pressure to reopen the ATMs and the creditors will understandably demand the same things as before the referendum. Nothing really changes.
Ultimately, Tsipras will be dragged back to the same type of stipulations as before. Maybe that will cause him to resign. If not, Greece is fast running out of options and it's just wasted a lot of time and caused unnecessary trouble with this foolish stance.

I doubt it, Chech. The Greeks don't seem to have learned any lessons from a couple of millennia back.

Methinks they're about to relearn an old lesson.
