"Expats in Grecia often find it challenging to adjust to the laid-back and relaxed Costa Rican culture, which is significantly different than the fast-paced lifestyle that many of them have come from. It can be difficult for some to get accustomed to the slower pace of life and more relaxed attitude. They also may find some of the local customs and traditions confusing and difficult to understand.
