This sort of reaction can be good or bad, depending on your point of view. For those who are determined to go to Greece, it might mean more hotel rooms available, and at more negotiable prices. For those in the Greek tourist industry, it's bad. When travelling to Greece, it's always wise to have a Plan B for everything. You never know when there might be a strike that will affect you. For example, there's a 24-hour general strike scheduled for May 20. Basically, no transportation will move on that day. For tourists, the "turmoil" is not really a matter of safety, but of convenience. You're going to be inconvenienced in Greece even in the best of times. Consider it an adventure.

As all over the world we always listen to the bad news on the news but tend to forget that nothing has changed that effects the tourists besides those who will choose to stay in the center of Athens should a strike take place. In conclusion I would like to let you know that the Greek outdoors are a fantastic place to visit especially for those who are on a budget since the prices are not as high as the popular Greek Islands and there are plenty of sites with majestic beauty.
