"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. Additionally, getting used to the local language and dialect can be a challenge for expats in Grecia, Costa Rica as many locals do not speak English and the language barrier can be a hindrance," said a member in Grecia, Costa Rica.

"Communication, lack of mobility, the total inconvenience of it all. Also, trying to make ends meet financially. The phrase Retire for Less and only needing $1000.00 per month is bogus. In both locations supply and demand caused prices on consumer goods to spike, rent is on the rise. Only utilities were in line with the advertisements," remarked another expat who made the move to Grecia, Costa Rica.
