It’s no secret that Aldemar Resorts on the island of Crete are where celebrities chose to spend their moments of respite. And this year could be no different with Russia’s renowned cosmonaut Yuri Malenchenko returning to the five-star Aldemar Royal Mare Luxury & Thalasso Resort for some fun in the Greek sun.

Together with his wife and daughter, Mr Malenchenko had the chance to take a break from his strict routine and receive customized rehabilitation treatment at Aldemar’s award-winning Thalasso & Spa Center, set up by his medical team in collaboration with the center’s qualified supervisors.
