Have you lived there for a longer period of time? I started considering buying a house somewhere on a beach-rich country and Costa Rica and Greece are at the top of my list.
BUUUUUUT, I kept hearing from people that house invasions and burglaries in the non-city areas of Costa Rica areas are a high amount. 
Any idea if it’s true?
I was only there for about a month (and this was in 2008, I think) but in any case we didn’t experience any crime during our visit. I have no idea about the current situation. Sorry!
Had to try. Thanks for responding! 
If you spend $200K on a property you get automatic residency in Costa Rica (iirc). But then saying that you are already in the EU so doing that in Greece wouldn’t be an issue for you…
