The overwhelming "No Vote" hasn't changed this new grinding reality for Greek people: the regular slow shuffle towards an ATM to withdraw just 60 Euros a day.

Some are losing patience. These men were arguing about who was next in line.

The cash shortage is a serious frustration for everyone involved in small business.

Andreas says business here at the fish market has plummeted since Capital Controls was introduced.

This is a country potentially on the brink of economic ruin, but so far there's no outward appearance of panic. Greeks are approaching these next crucial few days with a steady, stoic calm.
