A clean city
The quality of life is one of the things that make this city special in this area. Grecia has been known as the cleanest city in Latin America for three years in a row, and the residents are famous for their friendliness.
The majority of “Griegos” are farmers. Sugar is the main crop here, closely followed by coffee, and vegetables. The city covers a huge area, it is one of the largest counties in the Central Valley and has many different altitudes ranging from 2800 ft to 5000 ft. If you sit in the park in front of the famous metal church, you will see farmers gathered talking about the price of sugar or cabbage, and kids playing and eating ice cream.
Shopping
It has a very successful outdoor market (Mercado Municipal) for fruit and veggies, meat, cheese, and fish. Or you can go to the Feria del Agricultor. Shopping in Grecia is not as great as in Escazu, where you can find fancy articles and up-to-date fashion stores, but it offers all your lesser fancy needs that you will be looking for if you like the laid-back lifestyle of living in Grecia. Grecia is the most cosmopolitan of all the small towns west of the Central Valley. Grecia features two malls.
Many expats
