To many people, Grecia, the next one on the list of best places to retire in Costa Rica represents an ideal retirement destination thanks to the fact that the city isn’t crowded, has a friendly community, and offers a slower paced lifestyle with lots of attractions and activities to keep you occupied. Even the weather is great, with temperatures being optimal and stable through the whole year. Of course, this comes with the price, since Grecia boosts one of the biggest costs of living on the list.
