"Life for expats and digital nomads in Atenas is often described as relaxed and peaceful. The town is small and quiet, offering a slower pace of life that many expats appreciate. The climate is considered one of the best in the world, with warm, sunny days and cool nights. Atenas is known for its friendly and welcoming community. Expats and digital nomads often find it easy to integrate and make local friends. The town also has a number of expat groups and clubs, providing opportunities for socializing and networking. Despite its small size, Atenas has a good range of amenities. There are supermarkets, restaurants, and cafes, as well as a weekly farmers' market. The town is also conveniently located, with the capital city of San Jose and the Pacific coast both within an hour's drive. For digital nomads, the internet connection in Atenas is generally reliable, although it may not be as fast as in some larger cities. There are several coworking spaces available, as well as cafes that are suitable for remote work. The cost of living in Atenas is relatively low compared to many Western countries. Expats often find that they can live comfortably on a modest budget. However, it's worth noting that imported goods can be expensive.
