Grecia, Costa Rica

"Retiring in Grecia can be a rewarding experience for expats due to its mild climate, low cost of living, and relaxed lifestyle. However, there are a few key considerations that should be taken into account before making the move. Firstly, expats should be aware that the majority of transactions are conducted in cash, so they should make sure they have access to enough cash on arrival. Additionally, expats should be aware of the high rates of crime in the area, and they should take steps to ensure their safety. Finally, expats should familiarize themselves with the regulations in the country, such as the visa requirements and how to obtain residency," wrote a member in Grecia, Costa Rica.

"Have lived in Grecia for 7-1/2 yrs. It is a small city and in my opinion the best unless you insist on beach area which is too hot for me. No a/c necessary where I live. Easy to get to know people if you are friendly. I can't walk down the street without people I know honking or waving. I live happily without a car which means not using all my pension on repairs and high gas," commented one expat who made the move to Costa Rica.
