The Cool Projects Studio on Aegina offers a unique blend of artistic exploration and quiet contemplation, operating on a pay-what-you-can model. Just a short walk from Aegina town, this studio space is designed for creative minds and those seeking a different kind of retreat experience. Spread across two 120m2 floors, the studio houses a ceramic workshop and a fully equipped painting studio. Beyond the main building, a traditional yurt in the backyard, nestled beside pistachio fields, provides a secluded spot for individual work or quiet reflection. It's a place where art and introspection can intertwine, offering a refreshing alternative to more traditional meditation settings. The emphasis here seems to be on fostering creativity and providing a supportive environment for personal projects, with the added benefit of a peaceful, island setting.
