Hi Chris
What a wonderful week we had at your
spacious and well equipped apartments. It is always exciting to find out
whether "suited for wheelchair users" is in fact true but this time it
turned out to be true. C&A is a place worth a stay both because of the
surroundings but most certainly because of your and all your wonderful
family. We felt welcomed from the first moment.
We enjoyed Eva and Nitsas cooking some of
the days but also felt very welcomed at the nice restaurants in Polis
town. We shall certainly come back.

Rudez Dear Chris,
We had a wonderful time at your
place! It took us 2 connecting flights to get to Larnaca, but
your father Andreas awaited us there and made us feel
comfortable right away. After a 2h drive in his airconditioned
wheelchair taxi with years of experience, Andreas brought us to
your place and we were welcomed like family. I remember that it
was quite hot that day, and we were quite exhausted from the
trip. We received a glas of homemade lemonade, and were
commanded to go straight into the pool, before doing anything
else. I have never experienced that those two things could
refresh you that well! After the swim and the drink, we enjoyed
a very tasty dinner prepared by the family chef-cooks Eva and
Nitsa. Wonderful food, like I was used to from my mother's and
grandmother's kitchen. Accommodation was great, even the older
appartments are all you need. Spacious enough even when you are
in an electric wheelchair like myself, and all accessible (Plenty
of information of the website, which is very assuring if you
book the first time). Hoist at the swimming pool can easily take
you in and out of the water, and the sunbeds have extra tall
matrases if you like, to transfer easier back to your chair.
Both the accomodation and the area look very modern and
beautiful. At the complex, some nice palm trees and flowers.
Very relaxing. Another important thing is that you are not bound
to stay at the complex, but you can head out to the town for
tasty food. Restaurants are accessible and the owners very
friendly if you need assistance. Outside activities are also
possible. We went parasailing. Great experience, but I would
suggest to go on a non-windy day. Altogether, it was a great
experience for me and my girlfriend Annelies (first time Cyprus
for us), and we only regret one thing: that we did not book for
longer that 1 week! That is a mistake we are not going to make
again when we book another stay at CA Appartments. Chris, I
really admire you, both your personality and what you have
achieved in life despite of your disability. You have a lovely
family, all of them. Saying goodbye was difficult for us. Hope
to see you all soon again! Be well! Oh yeah, congratulate
Dimitris for the win of his favorite Spain :-)
Greetings from Holland!

kelly Hi Chris
This has been the best holiday we have been on.
Accommodation was clean and spacious, atmosphere was friendly at all
times, family and staff were helpful and accommodating. Airport
transfers was hassle free and friendly. Equipment and adaptions were
the best we have had on holiday. Boat trip is a trip not to be
missed. We all enjoyed this holiday so much we did not want to go
home, we will be returning as soon as we can. Excellent holiday
would rate this 10/10.

Chantelle Nassari Hi Chris
We had a wonderful stay at your apartments. As a wheelchair
user I have travelled to many places which declare themselves as
"wheelchair accessible" however on arrival one finds that this is
not the case, on arrival at C&A tourist apartments I was immediately
at peace. The design of the place has been well thought out but
your additional speed and willingness to provide or resolve any
specific disability equipment or access issues was reassuring.
Myself and my 2 year old daughter Maya felt so happy and welcomed
by you and your lovely family. The apartments were comfortable,
clean, spacious and well equipped. By day the pool and frappe's by
night the wonderful Cypriot food and company. Eva and Nitsa's
cooking has no rivals. We have returned home refreshed, tanned,
slightly fatter and very content. We will be coming back so stock
up on the ice cream and baklava :o)Much love to all of you

Stavros P. Sideras Dear Chris,
We are back in
Nicosia with our “batteries” fully charged after our stay at your
great place. Every worry that I had regarding accessibility before
coming there was proven false.
It is great to know that such a place is available for a relaxing
holiday not only for people with disabilities like me but also for
able people and children (Martin, like Mima and me loved the pool as
well as Eva’s cooking).
A best proof
for the great time we had at your place was what a friend told me
when we meet last night, “… you look relaxed and fresh …” so does
Mima and Martin Best Regards and a big thanks to you, Eva and the whole group that keep C & A alive and provide such wonderful service to us Stavros, Mima, Martin

Hi Chris arrived home to a warm and sunny Manchester last night, the flight was good, left on time and we arrived back in Manchester early. The sun is shining this morning and it is lovely and warm, not HOT as in Cyprus, but very pleasant. I miss the pool, we enjoyed our dip before breakfast yesterday, we should have done it every day! Thank you to you, your Mum and Dad and sisters for making our visit such a wonderful experience, tell your Mum I will send the recipes when I am more organised. Up to my eyes in laundry and I've loads of correspondence to deal with- and for some reason my car battery has gone flat so I have to get that sorted before I can go any where. Unlike Polis we don't have shops and restaurants just round the corner, the car is esential. I wish we were back in Cyprus! Many many thanks, best wishes Derek and Lyndsay

it feels like when you stay with Chris, Eva, Andreas and their

between just 'staying' and being part of the family.

We would like to say thank you very much for a most enjoyable holiday, we enjoyed the walks by the sea and the hospitality we received staying at C & A apartments and everything worked out very well for us.

Chris Many thanks to you and your family for making our stay with you so enjoyable. We landed home this morning at 3.30 to a chilly 14 degrees - when we got home I had to put a blanket on the bed to warm me up! Certainly a lot different from the temperatures we left behind in Polis! There are clouds in the sky here, and the sun is nowhere to be seen! We will look forward to coming over to stay again! Love to you all Joanna and Colin

I think you are all really nice and friendly, and the food has been absolutely lovely. I am sad I am going home, but would love to come back again one day" Keiron and I would like to say thank you to yourself and your family for the wonderful hospitality that you all showed us during our stay.

Thank you all –
Chris, Eva, Andreas, Nitsa, Charoulla, Dimitri and Kumar – for yet
another great holiday at C an A. We arrived feeling tired and
stressed and went home (to a very cold UK) relaxed, well-fed and
happy! It was a real treat having our room serviced this year. I
haven’t spent such a lazy fortnight in ages! Thank you so much –
looking forward already to next year!
Best wishes
Dear Chris and
the family, There were many reasons for. For me personally: I was very tired, different weather and also: missing you and your family and the lovingfull kindness that we enjoyed for the second time . We where a little bid nervous when arriving on 12th of May: Could it be as good as last year, were our expectations not to high..??? But from the moment we arrived till the last moment at the departure it was clear: nothing was really changed, the good feeling was there immediately. Polis (and your place) is still a paradise! And you are the angels there. There are so many good things to say, too much to write it all down. Just this: go on you all, you are doing a very good job. Thanks to you all & our best regards,

Dear Chris,
Nitsa, Eva, Andreas, Domitri, and the rest of your wonderful family! We didn't get our flight home until 24 hours later, we were taken to another Hotel. I wasn't impressed with it, as it didn't have the family feeling or the friendly atmosphere that we shared with all of you. We certainly wouldn't choose any other Hotel in Cyprus! Is Domitri being a good young man, and helping like he was when we last saw him, tell him we will see him next year, we look forward to seeing all of you At last the sun is out here and it is very warm for a change, though it won't last. I enclose photos we had taken with you, all those happy memories to repeat next time! Chris, you look great in you photos! God Bless and our love to you all, Chrissie and John. xxx

It was good to see you all again, our second stay so far this year.....and its only May ! accomodation was up to your usual very high std and the food was tremendous Eva and Nitsa excelling as/usual. An added extra bonus for these holidays early in the year is taking my early morning swim in the "heated" pool, the warm water is good for my decrepid bones/joints ! The above comments are par for the course when staying with you as is the fact that we come away having made more good friends with fellow visitors it's amazing how many people meet at your place and remain good friends keeping contact long after the holiday is over. Thank you and see you June/July for our main family holiday ! Best regards Wayne & Linda.

Dear Chris and family, I have now been home for a week and have gradually returned to the old routine. I can't wait to return to Polis. I had such a good time. My photo's were printed yesterday and they brought back the warmth and the air scented with orange and lemon blossom along with the good times with friends who became family. It was difficult to leave. I recall the breakfasts in the sun with home made breads and jams, afternoons sharing recipes with Nitsa and Eva, evenings sharing dinner with the family and through out the wonderful hospitality that you gave . The accessibility was wonderful and so was the electric wheelchair that I hired. I was able to whizz along to Latchi along the coastal path. Groves of giant wild fennel and fields of yellow flowers flowed down to the blue sea. I also loved the little restaurants and cafes in Polis which is very Cypriot and full of character. The swallows arrived within a day or two of our arrival and by the time we left they were busy nest building swooping and chattering across the square. I must recommend the trip that we did with Andreas to the new museum at Steni which shows Cypriot village life. The window that it gave to the past was enhanced by visiting with the family who were able to relate their own memories of how it used to be. On this trip I travelled with a friend . Usually I am an independent wheelchair traveller. I now know that Polis and C and A apartments can be a good holiday for the independent wheelchair traveller. Thanks again for a wonderful holiday and you will see me again. With love to you all. Peter.

Bill Hall We'd both like to thank you and your family for a wonderful week at your lovely apartments. It's so comforting to have found somewhere that is so exactly set up to the demanding standards of those who need them most. You cannot believe how much stress and strain that takes away from travelling into the unknown. As a result we relaxed far beyond where we thought we would get to! It was also so nice to be taken into the warmth of your family set up and the close knit experience that you all so obviously enjoy together. We will come again - we just don't know when. Until then, keep up the good work! All our very best. Carolyn & Bill

November 2009 -- the James family, 2 able-bodied and Adrian in a wheelchair. An excellent holiday starting from the time the booking was done via Chris (excellent communication) on the Internet. Have plenty of confidence in Andreas, who did a superb job of transporting us all from Paphos airport to Polis and back in a specially adapted vehicle. He was extremely friendly, and a mine of information, informing us that there was little he could not do within his "department" in the family-run business. On arrival at Eva’s Apartments we were made to feel most welcome initially by Chris and his mother Eva and soon after by the remainder of this lovely Cypriot family, not forgetting Kumar who was always around and so helpful in every way. We had reserved 2 one-bedroomed apartments which even exceeded our expectations, being exceptionally clean, quiet, functional and spacious. They are also well equipped for self catering but we discovered Eva’s breakfasts far too tempting to miss, not only for the range of food available but also presenting the opportunity for socialising with the rest of the family as well as other guests of different nationalities - the world was put right on more than one occasion! We were extraordinarily lucky with the weather and arrived in time to benefit from the now heated pool - superb in all ways including the hoist. Hiring a scooter via Chris is easily done and proved worthwhile in getting around especially along the coast via a recently constructed footpath to Latchi. Of course the beautiful Akamas Peninsula is close at hand. Local restaurants are excellent and friendly as are the locals themselves, factors which have attracted us back to different parts of Cyprus over many years. Thank you so much Chris, Eva, Andreas (busy when we left either in drying out his supply of pecan nuts or visiting his favourite coffee house!) and the rest of the family – and, of course, Kumar - we hope very much to meet you all again before too long. Thank you again for a most memorable holiday and we hope that members of the family who are receiving treatment are making good progress. You can be very proud of the facilities that you provide. Douglas, Avril and Adrian

I would like to sincerely thank you very much for the very enjoyable time we had in C&A Apartments. The apartment we stayed in was very well laid out, specially for two wheelchair users. Eva and Nitsa must be two of the best cooks we have experienced. I remember the beef and Yorkshire pudding with all the trimmings dinner which was scrumptious, a taste of home in Cyprus. We would like to personally thank you Chris for being a very pleasent, helpful and approachable host, who went out of his way to ensure you had a great holiday. We would also like to thank Andreas for the transport to and from the airport and the trip to Paphos Market and the Paphos Mosiasc. But most of all for being so jolly and great fun to be around, a true gentleman! Kumar the handyman who made a few adjustments to Clares wheelchair, who we could not compliment enough for his care. We would like to compliment the Bulgarian cleaning lady for her diligent work in the apartment. A great location with great restaurants all around Polis Square, very accessible. Not forgetting our little friend Dimitri, who was great fun to be around, who holds more information then a IBM Computer. I hope we did not leave anyone out. We will hopefuly return in the not so distant future. Luv From Clare & Ollie xxxxxxxx Your Irish Buddies

Last time we
visited it was Spring 2007 and it was a perfect temperature, hot but
not too hot, and all the blossom was out. After a tough couple of
years with multiple operations the medics finally gave the all clear
and we headed straight back to C and A to enjoy your lovely studios
and pool. Andreas met us at the airport and we were whisked from
Paphos to Polis in your brilliant transport. We were curious to see
the new block and wondered whether it would change the feel of the
place as we remembered it. The architects and builders have done a
remarkable job and you would never know it was newly built as the
fabulous trees link the whole site together. The new dining room is
wonderful and enables guests to enjoy not only Eva's famous
breakfasts but also evening meals.
Many of the best memories of our holiday were connected with the
family and other guests. You will know what I mean when you spend a
holiday at C and A Apartments.

Hallo Chris and family,
Back on Dutch
soil where it is now fall, 13 degrees, with great pleasure we look
back on our second holiday to Cyprus. Weather and relax and a richer
experience: parasailing, it was fantastic. Flat tires of the
wheelchair was no problem, everything was settled immediately, the
hiring of an electric wheelchair is definitely recommended, it makes
transportation easier. The journey to and from the airport without
problems thanks to Andreas. Greetings from Jan and Jannie Lubbinge, Hessel and Lotty Nijenhuis

Hi Chris and Family, I've been home a few weeks and thought it was about time I thanked you for the great holiday and hospitality at your little haven tucked away in Polis. The moment I arrived I knew i would enjoy my time, your Mothers warm welcome and all the friendly people made me feel comfortable instantly! Being in a Wheelchair I was delighted to find your apartments to be as accessible as my own home. The excursions you put on for people are great especially in your Taxi's fitted with ramp and clamps which your Father drives (he's such a character!! ) Everything is well organized and your family put a great deal of effort in. I found everyone socialized and the food your sister cooks is amazing (thanks Nitsa) mealtimes are a joy, with all your family integrating with guests and helping people mix and make friends! The Authentic Greek barbecue your dad does is amazing and is very popular among all the guests, the turnout for them is always good. You can have a worry free holiday at C&A which you don't find in many places. Knowing that Mobility aids like Scooters, Electric Chairs, Hoists etc are readily available, And there is always someone on hand to help if any problem arises! Thanks to your Mum, Dad, lovely sisters, and ill be seeing you all next year! Brian

Hi Chris, Most disabled people (and their partners) are often disappointed at the standard of accomodation provided when they book a holiday.Hoteliers often exaggerate (or even lie!) about facilities they offer and the poor old customer has to make the best of it. At the C & A apartments every word on your website/brochure is true. Facilitiesare first class in every way-the apartments are roomy,have all the space and equipment needed for all types of disabilities. The bonus to all this, of course,are the people providing these facilities.Yourself,Eva,Andreas and family are the' icing on the cake '.Nobody could offer a warmer or more caring environment for those people with special needs. Needless to say you will be lumbered with our presence next year and the fact that we cannot have the room requested despite booking 12 months in advance shows how popular you are! Best Wishes-Charles and Judy from the UK.

Hello Chris and the rest of the family, We like to thank you again for a fantastic holiday. We love Cyprus and especially Polis. Here with C&A appartments we have everything we want. A good accomodation, a swimming-pool suitable for Piet and also the beach, we like that very much. And also very important you and the whole family. Every time we come we feel like to come home. Eva and Nitsa with the cooking and backing ( the cakes). Andreas and Charoula for the helping with the barbecue.( we hope that she is not angry with us about the rose wine) And not to forget you, Chris. It is always pleasant to talk with you. Although there are much more clients you have always time for a little chat. It is also very nice to get clean towels and sheets without asking for it. So we also like to thank Katja and Kuma. Probably we will come again next year but it depends how it goes with Piet and also which period I can get free from my work. We saw that you had already put our picture on the guestbook.

Hi Chris We just wanted to say how much we loved our stress free holiday at your appartments, for the 4th time. As always the appartment was immaculate, as was the swimming pool and of course the wonderful hospitality shown to us by all of your family and staff. This year, my husband Nigel and I renewed our wedding vows while on holiday to celebrate our 10th anniversary. I have to say that if anyone else is either considering getting married, or renewing their wedding vows in Cyprus then DO IT!!! It was the most amazing experience,and certainly one we will never forget. Special thanks has to go to Nitsa,who planned and organised everything for us mainly through emails and phone calls. She is a true diamond,and made sure everything went smoothly. Also special thanks to Eva who cooked us the best roast pork dinner we have ever tasted! As ever, Andreas (or taximan as my children love to call him) was always able to take us where ever we wanted to go, and met us and took us to and from the airport with no problems whatsoever. So to sum it all up- FANTASTIC!! Helen from the UK

hi chris,
Guest's Name:
MrWayneNorwood@aol.com Hi Chris, With reference to our latest "stay" with you, thank you once again for a tremendous two weeks ( 27'th June-11'th July ) and congratulations on the success of the expansion to the set-up at C & A. I say congratulations because there was always a doubt that "small was good" and would it be possible to maintain the high standards set with the original apt's but we need not have worried because as usual there were no problems with transfers ( Andreas on the ball as usual ), hired hoist, and powered chair, and the new appartments are even better than the old ones, being more spacious with fixtures and fittings to a very high standard. We feel the extra room in the patio areas and around the pool is a real bonus and the fact that there are more clients means that people are mixing better and making more friends. The evenings in particular were really good fun with a lot of people taking advantage of the improved kitchen/dining arrangements, whilst there is nothing wrong with the tavernas in the town and would recomend most of them to anyone the fact is that Eva & Nitsa's cooking is superb ! So it would seem that facilities have actually improved at C & A, but one thing that remains the same is the friendly service and family atmosphere where nothing is too much trouble to your family and staff if it concerns the comfort and well being of your guests. Once again thank you .....from your friends in the frozen north ! Very best regards, Wayne Linda & Stephen ( Northumberland ).

Hi Chris, It doesn't seem possible that we have been home for two weeks. Once we went back to work it seemed as though we hadn't been away. Thank goodness we have some lovely photos to remind us. We have looked at the photos you have posted and it was lovely to see there the people we met while staying with you. We all had a great time, especially Louise who was able to be independent and not worry about people staring at her, especially when she was going into the pool. She really enjoyed the pool as she never goeas swimming here.It was so easy to get her in and out there because of the hoist .The facilities at the apartment made it so much easier for us all that we were all able to relax and have such an enjoyable stay. We would especially recommend that guests hire a scooter ( if suitable for them). It saved Peter and I having to push Louise around in her wheelchair in the heat and it gave her independence. Thank you so much for letting us use the larger scooter as while as the one ordered. You certainly knew best about that! Thank you to all the family for being so helpful and making us so welcome. We will certainly be back - finances permitting! I promised Nitsa a recipe for Mars Mousse which is attached. I hope she enjoys making it, and eating it! Best Wishes to everyone Brenda, Peter & Louise

Hej til alle på C&A Fra Bytoften, skal der lyde den største tak til familien i Polis, for en rigtig fantastisk ferie, for Hanne og Gert, samt Bodil og Tina. Det har været en rigtig oplevelsesrig uge, både på indtryk og dejlige minder. Familien på C&A er super fantastiske til at få os til at føle os som en del af deres familie. Vi har haft en utrolig dejlige uge i et hyggeligt selskab, og vi har fået set alt det vi gerne ville se, og som vi kunne nå og se denne gang. Håber at vi en dag får mulighed for at komme en tur til Polis igen,det er helt sikkert et sted man sagtens kan komme tilbage til. Vi kan kun sende de bedste anbefalinger til alle der overvejer en tur til Cypern. At vælge en ferie hos C&A, er ferie. De bedste hilsner fra Hanne, Gert, Bodil & Tina

Hej Chris! Mange tak for den dejlige uge vi havde hos jer i april 2009. Kirsten og Kirsten var ledsager for Lone som sidder i kørestol. Lone syntes selv at hun havde en fantastisk tur, alle steder var man imødekommende og forstående over for hendes handicap og alle var utrolig hjælpsomme. Hotellet er rigtig godt indrettet for en person i kørestol og hjælpemidlerne er ok. Der var en hjertelig atmosfære på hotellet og vi følte os som en stor familie. Det var for Lone og os selv en stor fornøjelse at møde nogen fra andre lande som også er handicappet. I byen er der mange muligheder for at komme ind i butikker og på restauranter selv om man sidder kørestol. Her i Danmark har vi rost jeres hotel meget også til Christravel, så vi håber i får besøg af rigtig mange danskere. Vi havde en rigtig god tur hjem.
Hilsen pigerne fra Danmark

We've just come back from our fifth visit to C & A apartments and it was the best yet! We relaxed the minute we got there and enjoyed a fortnight of good food, relaxation and, best of all, the company of people we've come to know and love. The apartments are just right, the local restaurants friendly and keen to make themselves as accessible as possible. Roll on next year's holiday!

Du kan hyra de hjälpmedel du behöver. Det är en härlig omtänksam familj du kommer till, stämningen är varm och vänlig. Vi är inte handikappade utan hittade hit av en slump.

Liebe Eva, lieber Chris und die gesamte Familie,
ein wunderschöner, 2-wöchiger Urlaub ist viel zu schnell zu Ende gegangen. Ich möchte euch allen von ganzem Herzen für diese eindrückliche Zeit danken! Das neue Haus mit den großzügigen Appartements ist sehr gut gelungen. Alles was man zum Wohlfühlen braucht ist vorhanden, das Bad, der große Wohnraum und das geräumige Schlafzimmer sind einfach gut durchdacht. Das Beste aber ist die Atmosphäre in eurem Haus! Dieser liebevolle und empathische Umgang mit den Gästen vermittelt ein Gefühl von Geborgenheit und Toleranz! Ich habe wunderbare Erinnerungen an die Zeit mit euch, an die Bootsfahrt, an den Ausflug zu Aphrodites Bad, die herrlich Gegend um Polis und Zypern. Die Möglichkeiten die bei euch geboten werden, auch ohne Auto, die Insel kennen zu lernen, sind einfach toll. Ein besonderes Lob geht an Eva und Nitza die uns mit super Essen und Backwaren verwöhnt haben und nicht nur die, alle, Andreas, Chris und Chris, Carol, Mandana, Andrew, Sarah und Dimitri der beste Skippo Spieler von Polis, sowie Kuma haben diesen Urlaub zu einem einmaligen Erlebnis werden lassen. ICH DANKE EUCH DAFÜR! Und ich komme wieder, versprochen!

Rachel Barker Dear C & A Tourist Apartments Our holiday with you was more than we ever imagined possible. The new apartments/studios were amazingly designed to make life easier in and around them, especially for the wheelchair user. Wide doors, 'space', roll in shower with fixed shower seat, and even rise and fall grab rails at either side of the toilet! The pool was great and even had a hoist, what a treat for my stepdad Pete. From landing at Pafos, and been greeted by C & A's accessible taxi, we knew we were going to be well looked after. Andreas had the powerchair we'd booked through GC Paraquip. What dedicated service. We had all our breakfast catered for in the new extensions dining room...a well deserved treat for my mum. We had a BBQ, this was great, all home cooked and catered for by the family at C & A. Highly recommend it ! We enjoyed a stroll to Latchi on the accessible beach walk and went on the glass bottomed boat, even this had a hoist on board We are so much looking forward to a return visit in October, cant wait. On behalf of me and my family, thank you for making so many things possible, Rach, Jay, Dawn and Pete

Trevor Davies Chris We arrived back in Bristol safe and sound. The only problem with our holiday in Cyprus was that it was not long enough and we had to return to a frosty England. We could not have asked for anything more; the apartment had all we needed Pam was able to manage all the facilities and was particularly impressed with the bathroom and shower. Sitting in the sun, enjoying the company of you, your family and the other holidaymaker was just great. Andreas was very helpful, having a minibus with a lift that works was a great relief (so often her in the UK we have to put up with ramps that do not wok on our unlevel surfaces and are to steep). The excursion we did he was very attentive and flexible in meeting our specific needs, we saw so much more of the island and its life that you could not get on a set tour. We shall certainly look to visit you again, may be not next year as we already have other plans and have already passed on your flyers to our local MS Centre which Pam attends and have mentioned you to other who would welcome your type of holiday. Good luck with completion of the building work, best wishes to you and all your family and collegues. bye for now Trevor and Pam

dan stanton Hi chris and family, we arrived safely back in England,but had to scrape the ice of our van,before we could drive it.Dan would like to say a few words. Iwould like to thank Chris and his family for making my first holiday abroad one to remember,you could not have been any more helpful,we were always greeted with a warm smile from Chris,and the guided tours with Andreas were especially informative,his local knowledge of the fruits of the forest was very interesting,i will certainly be recommending your apartments to my friends,the only negative point was when we tried to go paragliding,i think for the more severely disabled a visit to the centre to discuss the procedures of paragliding first would be more appropriate,we were a bit rushed and the people on the boat were a little afraid of my frailty,other than that it was 10 out of ten for your staff and facilities,hope everything goes well with your extension. yours thankfully Dan and steve

I do not know where to start to say what a wonderfull two week holiday that we spent with you all at C&A apartments.It all began with being met by Andreos at Paphos airport he took care of everything for us.The apartment had everything you required.We both had a scooter wish was fantastic.We were able to do so much ,when we are at home I have to walk everywhere and push Franks wheelchair.This gave us so much freedom to see so much.We were able to go to the beach also in to Latchi when we wanted to.We had a wonderfull day out with Andraos to the Troodos mountains .What a wonderfull expereance that was Andraos tells you so much about everything.Stopping every so often to pick fruit from various trees for us to try.Frank was able to go swiming every day,somethink he has not been able to do for many years.We would like to say thankyou to Eva for wonderfull breckfasts every morning what a good start to our days.We really enjoyed the barbeque evening by the pool.The food also your family were great.The restaurants in Polis were very all very good also they are all wheelchair friendly and can not do enough for you.Well Chris i could go on forever saying what a wonderfull two weeks we spent with you,you all made our holiday one we will never forget and hope to see you all next year.

Have just returned from a wonderful two week break in Cyprus at the C & A Apartments. I don't think we have had a holiday which has gone so smoothly for a long while. I really enjoyed being able to use the pool by means of the hoist. It was brilliant! We visited some lovely restuarants during our stay. We will certainly do all in our power, to return soon. Thanks Chris, Eva and Andreas for a relaxing and great holiday. Love Maxine and James xx

Mr and Mrs
Moir Stuart and i visited C & A apartments for the second time there for 2 weeks, and as we were planning to get married this year in Polis, I knew C & A was the place to go, as everyone is so friendly and cant do enough for you. With Stuart being confined to a wheelchair it is definately stress free coming to stay here, as i know if i have forgotten anything or if anything goes wrong (like a wheel puncture), as it did on our trip to Paphos this year, i know that with the help and dedication from yourself Chris, your carer Kuma and your parents that the problem would be sorted which it was. It meant the world to us to have had you at the wedding celebrations, as it is just like being with family when we are with you, and we know we just have to say "Honeymoon Night tonight Chris" and we get complete peace although knowing that there is allways someone there to help if neede, all be it yourself, your dad Andreas, your mum Eva, your sister Nitsa or her husband..... Everyone is so friendly and welcoming. It really was great to know i had nothing else to worry about except the wedding, where as going to some other country and not knowing if they are proarly equipt for Stuart, and this also helped with caring for Stuart and allowed him to have a relaxing holiday...... From the moment we are met by Andreas at the airport to the return to the airport we are looked after in a very special way....Sadly we wont be back next year as with the little one on the way but we hope to see you all again in 2010...All of our love from the newly weds ......xxxx

My husband Johny has primary progressive MS. We hadn't been on holiday since our honeymoon in 2005, mainly due to the thought of travelling and dreading arriving to find our accommodation wasn't suitable and having a complete nightmare. But C&A Apartments was absolutely perfect. Chris is a very funny, charismatic guy and an inspiration to anyone finding themselves disabled and feeling unsure about how much they can do in life (we even went parasailing). We really enjoyed his company and of course Eva, Andreas, lovely Nitsa (Chris's mother, father & sister) and Dimitri (Chris's nephew - what a character, all that energy - is he solar powered?!) and the ever-smiling Kumar, Chris's carer. They have just got the balance completely right - it's a genuine family atmosphere which you feel a welcome part of immediately, but it's very relaxed and also easy to go off an do your own thing. And I have to mention Eva's cooking - it's just to die for! We met some wonderful people in the two weeks we stayed and learnt something from all of them. Helen & Spiros, with his unending supply of jokes. The Hayes: Suzanne, Steve and their beautiful Madeleine and Marie Laure; the Russells: Carolyn, Pete and the unforgettable Lana. And Andy and his wife Xena (Warrior Princess!) and daughter Giga. Andy taught Johny to swim without floats by not trying to use his legs, which was brilliant! So we are hoping to return next year and repeat the experience as we had such a fab 2 weeks. Thank you!! Big love Claire & Johny

been to, the hospitality you and your family show is fabulous,
nothing is too much trouble. The meals are scrumptious, the
apartments are my second home. All being well hope to return again.

MrWayneNorwood@aol.com Hi Chris sorry it's taken a while to get back to you but we've been busy with work and getting Steve sorted in his new house. Having stayed with you for a second time ( 11'th to 25'th june ) in "No' 4" I am pleased to say the holiday was a complete success, due mainly to the accessability of the apartment and the availibility of relevant equipment ( electric wheel chair and hoist ). Add to this the sunshine.....the people......food.....beer....and all the other reasons we love coming to Cyprus how could the holiday fail ? But the major thing that made this year was the fact that Stephen got to swim in the sea for the first time in his 33 years ! and he followed this up by going parasailing the next day !!.....believe me the whole of the north of England has heard of his exploits as he has not stopped talking about it since his return. Your apartments and facilities open up a whole new world for the disabled and those who care for them, once again thank you to you and your family,
Wayne, Linda & Stephen.
PS. It is also worth a mention that the work to the new apartments did not disturb our holiday at all. I hope that Demitris ( the boss ) is keeping you all on your toes ( and that Nita has not yet strangled him ) also give our love to your lovely daughter Sarah.

Ook de tweede keer was het een waar genoegen om Eva, Chris en Andreas te ontmoeten. Wat een gastvrijheid niets is deze mensen teveel.Het is al moeilijk genoeg om met 2 rolstoelers op reis te gaan en dan ook nog iets te vinden, waar alles wordt gedaan om het zo aangenaam en aangepast mogelijk te maken. De verzorging 's morgens en "s avonds was vooraf geregeld en door haar flexibele opstelling konden we ivm met tripjes schuiven met de tijden.Voor ons was het een paradijsje om te relaxen en te genieten van de warmte en de geboden mogelijkheden.

The apartment was great, very clean and spacious and the facilites were second to none. Nothing was too much trouble for you guys and Eva's breakfasts (and baking) were superb! My mum, dad & I had a great time. Superb environment for a holiday for disabled and able bodied people!
We'll be back to Polis later on in the year and are looking forward to seeing you all again. Good luck with the new apartments. Say Hi to Sara too!

Once more we have to say what a thoroughly enjoyable time we had whilst staying at your fabulous complex. You never cease to amaze us with the careful thought and consideration that is put into making the holiday so enjoyable, not just for the disabled members of the parties, but for all concerned in the holiday, be it other family members or carers or friends. All my husbands needs were met once more. We could not ask for anything else. The family is so welcoming and generous. One of our favourite days was one spent with the 'TOUR GUIDE' Andreas....what an absolute star that man is. He leaves no corner of the island untouched,. He can tell you anything you need to know about the flora and fauna. Dont book a tour unless its with Andreas. He took me and my hubby Pete to places off the beaten track that we could never have found. Nothing is too much trouble. We love him to bits. Eva and Nitsa, busy as ever ensuring that all the guests are happy. The fabulous cakes still freshly made for the guests to enjoy on any afternoon. The swimming pool, as enticing as ever, so clean and crystal clear, great care taken to ensure all around the complex is scrupulously clean and very well maintained. Even though there was building work going on, it didnt disrupt our enjoyment what so ever. We cant wait to see the finished results of the new apartments, just from the 'shell' at present they look like they are going to be superb....well done Chris for all your thoughts, determination and hard work that has gone into making C & A Tourist Apartments the best ever place to stay, with or without a disability Chris (the boss)please say hi to Eva, Andreas, Nitsa, Dimitri, Chris, Andrew (especially from Rach !!)Charoulla, Mandana, Kumar (thanks for helping Rach with the mobile) and the most beautiful of all, Sara. Last but not least, all the geusts that we were so fortunate to meet whilst we were there. Due to my husbands MS and its severity, there is no other place on earth that I would feel safe and happy to holiday, other than with you guys. Thanks , Till we meet again, forever in our thoughts, love Dawn, Pete and Rachel Ulleskelf, North Yorkshire, UK

Our first stay
with C & A and we were confident it would be a vast improvement on
standard holiday accommodation but it was even better than we hoped,
the ramps and bedroom and bathroom access that are normally such a
chore presented no problems at all. In fact we did not manually have
to lift Stephen at any time over the whole holiday, as well as
taking the strain off Linda and myself it meant life was much more
comfortable for Stephen.

Before coming
to C&A apartments we have had a recommendation from a distant
contact. We had also looked at the website. It sounded too good to
be true. With Hugh permanently in a wheelchair we had had many
adverse experiences. But the combination of Chris's own experiences
as a wheelchair user and Eva's welcome and genuine concern made the
holiday unforgettable. Hugh was constantly in and out of the pool

brian cunningham Dear Chris, Andrew and I are always slightly apprehensive going on holiday somwhere new. No matter what reassurances are given, until you see the accommodation with your own eyes you cannot judge what you are going to. We need not have worried! On arrival at Paphos we were met by Andreas with my name on a board and transferred in his wheelchair accessible taxi with air conditioning to the appartments. We were delighted with our appartment. The beds were exactly the right height for me and I was able to get around easily with my Zimmer frame or the chair as required. We took my bed lever from home but would not bother when we go again as they can be hired there. The bathroom was spacious, had grab rails as well as a raised toilet seat and a shower chair. It is one of the few bathrooms where I managed independently.It was hot and we needed the air conditioning at night to sleep and it also restored me to near normality after our outings. We enjoyed our breakfasts by the pool. Eva was so hospitable, always ofering us more. We liked Polis, it was easy to get around, not too busy and unspoilt. We went for walks to the Beach and to Latsi, both easily accessible. There are several good restaurants and the food was delicious. Chris and his family made us most welcome. We look forward to returning.

Nothing was too much bother for you. We found the accomodation was perfect for Alan, he was able to get around so much easier than other resorts we have been to. We enjoyed our nights out in the Square. Lovely food and we found everyone to be so helpful. I'm sure we shall see you again soon Doreen and Alan Northumberland UK

What can I say,
returning to the C & A Apartments was like returning home to
family. Second time around it was just as good. Apartment was as
usual clean and very comfortable. Weather great with plenty of
swimming to cool us off. The family atmosphere with meals around
the pool in the evening mixing with the other quests was
marvelleous. Andreas' taxi service was as reliable as ever and Eva
and Nitsa's cooking wonderful. Can't wait to return again.

vanessa Hi Chris We have just had another wonderful holiday at C & A apartments. You make us so welcome! We really do appreciate staying where it really is wheelchair accessible, where we have no problems and are able to really enjoy our stay. I really appreciate not having to prepare breakfast and it is great to be able to enjoy breakfast round the pool thanks to Eva! The barbecue round the pool was good as well, a truly enjoyable evening. As you know I really enjoy going into the sea and thanks to you and Mike disabled people are able to do just that. We are looking forward to our next visit. best wishes Vanessa

Hi Chris We had a great flight home and all is well. Margaret and I have had a really great time with you and the family. We have travelled extensively in the 30 years since my accident and we can both honestly say that the layout and equipment in the apartment that we stayed in was superb and most importantly 'hassle free'. For the first time in my life, I have used an electric wheelchair. I must say that it certainly opened my eyes and also most of the people in Polis who were busy jumping out of my way!, but seriously since Margaret was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthrtytus we wondered how we would cope, the answer was very well. The pool hoist was brilliant, the pool itself was excellent and well maintained. The whole family made us most welcome, from our collection at the airport by Andreas to our welcome at the apartments by Eva and the family. The restaurants in the town are excellent and most easily accessible. Thank you all for a wonderful holiday, we will be back I am sure. Please send our love and best wishes to 'The boss', we hope he makes a speedy recovery. Let us know how he is when you can. Cheers Dave and Margaret Powell

Andrew Chris, Fantastic transfer service, Andreas was at Arrivals when we landed. The service takes all the stress away from taking an electric wheelchair on holiday. I would recommend this service to anyone - world class! In addition we hired a manual chair for Max. Again a quality piece of equipment and excellent value for money. Finally, the boat trip which Chris recommended was superb - Max has difficulty walking on sand but loves swimming in the sea. The hoist allowed him a memorable experience swimming in the blue lagoon and one memory that will live with us all for a long time. This family are amazing lovely people who have done so much to enable less able people to enjoy holidays abroad. Andrew, Frankie, June, Jess & Max

The facilities were second to none - for the first time ever on holiday I was able to get Bruce in and out of the shower with no problem. Chris's suggestion that we hire an electric wheelchair was just the best. It made the holiday for me as I would never have managed with the manual wheelchair in the heat. Eva's lovely breakfasts round the pool and her daughter's delicious cake were a real treat. The village of Polis is great - all the people were so very friendly, kind and helpful. All in all the holiday was perfect and we really look forward to returning before too long. Love to Chris, Andreas and Eva xxxx

Reeds vele jaren gaan Winnie ( rolstoelgebruikster) en ik, samen op reis. Steeds op zoek, naar een toegankelijke accomodatie, met wisselend succes. Na een tip, gingen we dit jaar naar Polis in Cyprus en vonden er .... een klein paradijs ! Om te beginnen,overal in en rond de gebouwen, een hellend vlak, kamers met brede deuren, ruime aangepaste badkamer en vanop het terras zicht op de zwemdok. Een zwemdok met lift en rondom, hogere ligbedden. En overal een zee van bloemen, citroenbomen, palmen en andere zuiderse planten. Maar bovenal, wat een warmte! ( en daarmee bedoel ik niet de zon die reeds van de vroege morgen scheen)) Het onthaal, de gastvrijheid, eenvoud en hulpvaardigheid van de ganse familie, maakten, dat we ons reeds van de eerste dag " thuis" voelden. Een UNIEKE ervaring ! Nog nooit meegemaakt. Proficiat en héél veel dank , Chris, Eva, Nitsa, Andreas and Kuma! Hopelijk, tot een volgende keer !!

What can I say, from the moment Andreas met us at the airport all my worries about taking a disabled person on holiday were alaid. Elizabeth and I were able to have a normal holiday besides this all because Chris, Andreas and Eva looked after us so well. From everything from breakfast to dinner Eva looked after us like a mother. Chris helped organise any outing we wanted to go on and Andreas (God Bless Him) did all the driving, tours included with his own personal humour ( this included any toilet stops that were required. We cant wait to go back knowing that we will be so well looked after. Elizabeth (although unable to walk) managed a swim in the sea and the pool. We both went on a boat trip and a tour to winery and Pafos market with everything to see there. Hope to see our new family soon. Lots of love from Elizabeth and Denise

We booked expecting it would be too cold to swim in March/April, but hoping to find the sun and be able to eat outside and relax after a difficult eight months. Eleni had recently had two serious operations and nine weeks in hospital so we arrived feeling stressed.
The web site looked fantastic, but one is never really
confident that facilities will match up to one’s own needs. It was a
huge surprise to find everything absolutely perfect for a relaxing
time. Much of the success of the holiday was also created by the way
in which guests enjoyed each other’s company. We were free to go off
alone but whenever we wanted a companion, to walk/wheel along the
scenic coast walk, or to try out a new eating-place, it seemed
someone was ready to come too. We shared bottles of wine and played
cards and swapped books and laughed endlessly and didn’t want to go
home!

Approximately six months ago, my 82 year old father who is disabled decided that he wanted to travel abroad and gave my husband and I the task of finding lodging with suitable accommodations in a country that he has not previously visited. We researched many countries and properties, however, none of the facilities compared to what C & A had to offer. All our needs were answered. Chris and his family provided the equipment rentals, personalized excursions, airport transfers and rental vehicles if needed. Our entire family was overwhelmed by the generous hospitality we received from Andreas, Eva, Chris, Nitsa, Chris, and Dimitri. We had such a wonderful time getting to know everyone. We had fresh oranges every morning. Chris introduced us to Meze at one Moustakallis Tavern and took my son, Adam, for ice cream. My mom and Eva shared recipes and baked a cake together. Andreas taught me how he makes lemonade, olive oil, and capers. I enjoyed three pieces of Nitsa's very special chocolate cake. The verdict is still out on who makes the best cappuccino, Nitsa or Chris. My son, Adam, made a new Cypriot friend, Dimitri. Our trip to Cyprus was much more than expected. The memories of our friendship will be our greatest treasure.
With Love and Thanks, Scott, Diane, Adam, Sybil and Dave

Eva's breakfast, her speciality day by day, is fulfilling. Polis Village, people are nice & frindly , Choice of bars, restuarants, nice to have such choice in such a small area. The beach, walk way, & hard surfic along the way to Latchi, fishing Harbour , such wonderful views. The boat trip, with hoist into sea, great , also hoist into swimmingpool, all so wonderfully worked out for those indeed. The mix in the complex also work wheather disabaled or not. A place i will return to. They said never, thunder, lightning or heavy rain known in October, its happened i was there to prove it. Thankyou to the family, for such a welcome, with kindness & good humour Mark

Jmnhenry My parents and I really enjoyed our holiday. What made it so enjoyable was the friendliness of you and your family, the people who were there at the same time as us and the fact that I was able to get around the place on my scooter with no problems! The location was perfect in that it was away from the hussle and bussle of the restaurants and shops but only a short walk away for when we wished to eat or shop. We much prefer smaller apartments to big resorts. Trips were made possible with the minibus and for once it was nice to interact with the people from the apartments which is something we've never really experienced before. And I have to say, your mum and dad do a fab bbq!
Hope to see you again in the near future, from the 'wee' irish family, Ruth, Jim and Bea

Dear Chris We really felt that we were guests of your family and that we were staying in your home. That is something that money can't buy. The small town of Polis had enough to do, but the restaurants could work on their disabled loos! The glass bottom boat was really fun and the hoist allowing Laura to swim in the sea made it a real day out for us both. It was really good to have you and your family there to help with things like car hire and "stuff". It all helped to make it a fantastic – stress free holiday for us both. I think we can safely say that we will be coming back again, and thank you. Rob and Laura

Dear Chris and family, These few words to let you know that we all arrived very safely home. All tiered but so full of emotions and very happy. You deffinately did so much to make our stay a pure wonder and an apsolutelly unforgetable experience.We felt at home as from the very moment Andreas picked the 12 of us up at the airport, dropping out from Switzerland. Sharring the life of people as if we all were members of the same familly. What touched me a lot too was to see some of our fellows make progress , go beyond their fears ( Christopher dive into the pool from his weel-chair , François say almost full sentences, Nelly walk on difficult and rough ground ( the beach stones beyond the ramp)...etc...etc...! We will not forget you and all those that we met ( Anne, Gieseppe, Dave and their families) It was for me an oasis of love, peace and fellowship in a world where those values are sometimes dificult to find and experience. I would like once more to thank you all, the whole family, from the deapest part of my heart for what you did. THANK-YOU !!! With love and warmest regards, Etienne.

Having just returned from a most enjoyable, relaxing fortnight staying at C & A Apartments with Chris and his parents Eva and Andreas, I felt the need to say a few words. My husband Jim suffers from COPD (Emphysema) and needs help with washing and dressing due to shortness of breath. In the past we have always gone self-catering to the Greek Islands, but more recently found that the size (or lack of size!) of the rooms and bathrooms made it difficult for me to assist him. Whilst browsing on the Internet, Jim found Chris’ website and it looked so good we decided to book. Best decision we ever made The rooms are spacious, the bathrooms large and equipped for every disability need (and anything else you can think of is rapidly provided). As it is a family –run enterprise, we felt more like invited guests, and all the other guests at the time, with a variety of needs, were well catered for. And talking of catering – Eva’s cooking (assisted by her daughters) is second to none. We had the most delicious cakes served with coffee at the pool in the afternoon, the breakfasts were big enough to last you all day, and in the evening one could have either Andreas’ famous South African style barbeque (Braai) enhanced with more of Eva’s selection, or delicious curries and roast chicken Cyprus style The pool was great, equipped with a chair-hoist to lift those who needed it in and out of the water. Everything is wheelchair accessible, and the whole surrounding and atmosphere was one of peace and quiet.

elaine.harrison Hi Chris In June 2006 we hired a wheelchair for my Dad who has Parkinsons Disease. Although Dad is able to walk short distances we decided that having a chair " just in case" would let us see more of the island. Our initial email was met with a prompt and professional response so we weren't surprised when on our first morning in Polis the wheelchair was delivered. What we weren't expecting, however was the totally personal and friendly service we received. The service you and your family provide Chris is much more than hiring equipment - you genuinely care and seem committed to ensuring that everyone can enjoy their time in Cyprus. We would recommend: The boat trip - it was so refreshing to go out with a group without worrying whether we were holding people up or whether we could get on and off okay.

What can we
say…our second visit to the apartments and it really felt like
returning home! Mum is so much more disabled this year than last (a
stroke on top of MS is NOT funny) so returning to see everyone in
Polis was easy for us, we knew exactly what to expect. Andreas was
at the airport to greet us all (sorry for the late arrival Andreas)
and we soon fell into the ‘it’s no problem’ way of life! Eva’s
breakfasts are just as we remembered them; despite protestations of
‘I’m only having toast’ we all ate too much!! Our two week stay
went by far too quickly and we made some great friends too.
Charlotte’s fall into the pool will probably be best remembered
thanks to Paul’s quick dive to the bottom to retrieve her (despite
her bobbing up quickly with her arm bands on) and her agreement to
want to move to Cyprus despite having to learn a new sandwich
(language!) is likely to cause giggles across the world for a while
to come! To anyone considering visiting Polis for the first time, do
it! The apartments have everything you need for a peaceful holiday,
all of the equipment you could ever imagine needing for someone with
a disability is on hand, the weather is hot, the pool is warm,
Andreas is the happiest taxi driver we’ve ever met, Eva is a
wonderful cook (supported brilliantly by two daughters and a very
helpful grandson) and Polis itself is more than geared up for
wheelchair accessibility. Pafos is well worth a visit if you get a
free day and if you can get a day in the mountains you’ll be well
rewarded.

Guest's Name:
P Chris 'This was our third trip together to C&A. We did consider momentarily whether we should travel somewhere else on holiday this year but our decision to return was made beacuse we knew that this would be guaranteed rest, relaxation and fun. Despite the fact that this is already extremely accessible, each time we come we see access improvements which is kind of rare - so often the UK experience is that when improvements are made a huge fuss acompanies them, we are all made to understand just how difficult and expensive they have been and then nothing else happens for years, all the while time and technology is moving on and lots more is both known and possible. A couple of the important changes we liked this year were the reassuring addition of a mechanical method of operating the pool hoist should power fail (kind of important but rarely considered - lift users of London Underground will know all about the importance of back-up plans) and news of a two new accessible toilets (one in Polis itself and one in nearby Latchi) - also on the critical list if you actually want to be a bit freer on holiday than you are at home. But access is as much dependent on attitude as on architecture and here we find that the main thing that makes us completely relax is the way we are treated - we are always welcomed and treated equally and respectfully - inclusion is fast becoming a was of life for the entire area and is especially noticeable in Polis. It seems strange to be writing in the 'guest book' because as Chris says, we are now pretty much part of the furniture (I prefer 'part of the family' myself but our friendship is based on this kind of easy rudeness and I wouldn't have it any other way!)

with the extra equipment we needed to assist us around the
appartment. ie: the bed rails and toilet seats. I am already looking
forward to coming again in June 2007.

If you've ever been faced with the task of finding adequate accommodation for wheelchair holidays then look no more. C & A Apartments run by Chris, his mum Eva and dad Andreas is as near as perfect as it is possible to be. The success of this complex is due to the fact that the apartments and facilities have been designed and built with the guidance of someone who knows what he is talking about - someone in a chair himself. Accessible bedrooms, wide doors, no hassle bathrooms with enough grabrails to occupy an octopus all take the worry and stress out of your holiday. This place also offers a welcome so warm and friendly that you immediately feel at ease. There's breakfast in the sun by the pool and uninterrupted peace if that is what you want or as an alternative any adrenalin rush that Chris can arrange for you. It's no wonder that just about everyone who comes here books to return just as we have and there is a sense of relief knowing that you will cope and that means a lot when holidays are difficult to book. Able bodied and disabled mix here without the edginess and tension often experienced at other so called 'disabled accomodation'. Here you arrive as strangers and leave as friends not only with the owners but with everyone who is staying and in this day and age that is a unique experience. Well done Chris, your place is very special. Linda and Noel McCann

“Met zijn drieën (Pauline 18 elektrische rolstoel, Lucas 15 en ik
hun moeder) zijn wij eind september een week naar het Polis gegaan
naar Chris, Eva en Andreas. Het was een verademing om er naar toe te
gaan. Geen zorgen over “hoe kom ik van het vliegveld naar Polis”,
het aangepaste busje stond klaar, “Zijn de aanpassingen wel geschikt
voor Pauline?” In het appartement was alles ruim en perfect. Pauline
kon goed ‘uit de voeten’ met de elro. Het toilet was goed aangepast
de douche was prima. Ga zo maar door. De omgeving rond het zwembad
en in de stad was zo vriendelijk en bereikbaar dat Pauline veel
alleen kon doen. Zij ging zelfstandig naar het internet café, Ze
ging alleen naar het postkantoor en kon alleen bij het zwembad zijn.
Er was altijd wel iemand aan wie zij aanspraak had of met wie zij
kon zwemmen. Zo kon ik er ook zo af en toe met Lucas opuit om andere
dingen te doen. Natuurlijk deden we ook veel dingen samen.

Tunbridge We had a really super time in Cyprus – in fact we are keen to go back next May as a 60th treat for Mike. The apartment was ideal for Mike so it was relaxing for me as well. There was a pool with floating armchairs – very relaxing! A short walk, or roll, got you to the village square which was lovely. Full of restaurants – Mike’s idea of heaven! We ate out every night and enjoyed the atmosphere. Everyone was really friendly and we made some really good friends in the apartments themselves.

How often do you find an article of interest on the Internet, send an email and never get a reply? Sounds familiar?. An immediate response always makes a good impression - 41 emails is nothing short of impressive. Thats the number of emails we exchanged Chris reliably informs me!!. With the accommodation, transfers and car hire all booked with no problems whatsoever courtesy of Chris, that just left us the task of finding flights and Insurance. The flights, no real problem, but finding suitable insurance for a person with special needs can present difficulties. We decided on flights with British Airways and Insurance through HSBC Bank. On arrival into Larnaca Airport (Paphos is nearer though), we were greeted by Andreas and promptly transferred to Polis.............in the pouring rain!!. On arrival, we were escorted to our brilliantly equipped and adapted apartment by Eva and Chris. We spent the first couple of days getting accustomed to the area, and the weather, which by now had improved (thankfully!!). We also managed a swim on Polis beach, just a 15 minute walk from the apartments. In the evenings, there were plenty of eating establishments nearby, and, disappointingly for Jane, a pub with Sky Sports!!. We hired a non adapted car for the remainder of our 12 night stay and thoroughly enjoyed exploring the Country. We would definitely recommend Coral Bay Beach for anyone wanting to play in the sand and swim in the sea. Did we come across any 'hidden costs'? No, everything was exactly as expected - even the car hire where 'extras' can increase the cost considerably. However what made the holiday beyond any shadow of doubt was the hospitality shown by Chris and his family. This is not your 'basic package family holiday' out of a tour operator brochure - it is much much more, and the personal attention to fine detail and the way you are genuinely made to feel welcome is something we have never experienced on any other holiday we have ever been on. Is this the best holiday we have had? - Yes, and we would pack our bags and go again tomorrow. We had no problem with any of the areas we visited with our 8-year old son, Thomas, who is wheelchair bound, and everyone we met were friendly and helpful. We can't honestly think of anything critical to say about anything related to our holiday - it was perfect in every respect. If you are reading this article and wondering if it is genuine, then yes it is. I am the Chair of Governors at Thomas's Special School (Fairfields School, Northampton, UK) and you are more than welcome to contact me with regards to what has been written (MARK@rjames47.freeserve.co.uk). Thank you to everyone for making our holiday so special. Love from Mark, Jane, Thomas and Katie James. xxxxx

Hello! Chris, Eva,& Andreas. Our Cypriot Friends.
Well Chris what
can i say about you and your family, that has not been said before,
We have gone through your guest book, and no matter what we say some
one else will has said it already. You and your lovely family have
created a beautiful oasis in the center of Polis, we loved going
around your village using one of your rental scooters (made our
holiday stress free). i liked the way it is and pray that the big
Holiday firms dont come in and ruin the town by building highrise
hotels that dont have any feeling about them and they only worry
about the money that they make from people and every body is just a
number. Where as arriving at C&A Apartments. we felt the warmth" not
from the hot sun in the sky" but from your familys hearts, i dont
think we have ever had a welcome like it any where else. Yes Chris

Chris Christofides "We are a family of five and we came to C&A on a recommendation. I went on the web site as soon as I was given the details about C&A and booked straight away once I read all the details about the accommodation, facilities and Polis. Although I was born in Cyprus I had never stayed in Polis nor visited the Akamas peninsula. When we arrived we were not disappointed. The family welcome was special and warm. The facilities were first class and the atmosphere was calm, relaxed and very inclusive. We are all able bodied and throughout our stay we integrated naturally with all the guests. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at C&A and would like to return in the future" Regards to all of you Guest's Name:

Afgelopen week zijn we teruggekeerd uit Cyprus en voor de allereerste keer hebben we besloten volgend jaar naar dezelfde bestemming te gaan. Piet, mijn man heeft de ziekte van Becker waardoor hij zeer veel moeite heeft met opstaan , lopen en normaal dus ook niet een zwembad in en met name niet uit kan komen. Nu was alles perfekt. Het appartement was ruim en de badkamer volledig aangepast. Via de hellingbaan kon Piet makkelijk zelf vanuit het appartement naar het zwembad gaan. Via de zwembadlift kon ik hem net zo vaak als hij wilde in het zwembad laten zakken en ook weer ophalen natuurlijk.Het was voor hem jaren geleden dat hij in onze vakantie heeft kunnen zwemmen. Rondom het zwembad waren ook een aantal verhoogde ligbedden voor gasten die moeite hebben met de gewone ligbedden. Verder kun je via Chris een electrische rolstoel, een scoot-mobiel en ook andere hulpmiddelen regelen zoals b.v. een tillift. Hieraan zijn uiteraard wel kosten verbonden maar het is het wel waard. Zo hebben wij voor de gehele periode een scoot-mobiel gehuurd waardoor we makkelijk zelf naar het strand konden maar ook elke avond even naar het dorp gingen. In elk restaurant was het geen enkel probleem om met de scoot-mobiel te komen. Er werd altijd ruimte gemaakt en men was altijd behulpzaam met het parkeren van de scooter. Wat voor ons ook een zeer belangrijke reden is om terug te gaan is de persoonlijke aandacht van zowel Chris, Eva als Andreas. Met Chris hebben we erg gelachen, Eva is altijd even zorgzaam en Andreas is erg behulpzaam als je wat meer wilt weten over het eiland. Wij hebben voor 3 dagen een auto gehuurd en Andreas gaf aan waar de bezienswaardigheden waren maar ook praktische informatie zoals de aangepaste toiletten. We vonden het echt jammer dat we afscheid moesten nemen van de hele familie. Maar we gaan zeker terug. Ik kan het echt iedereen aanraden om naar C en A appartementen te gaan. Het is te boeken via buitengewoonreizen.nl Hierbij wil ik Andreas, Eva en Chris bedanken voor de geweldige vakantie die wij hebben gehad. Guest's Name:
Maarteen 11may till 18 may 2005 We had a fantastic time with Chris, Eva,Andreas and family. It was the first holiday since becoming a wheelchair user. All the facilities are waiting for us an were perfect. So we used the monkey poon and it was very easy to turn into the bed. We hired an electric scooter so that we could make a walk every day. Everything into the house was perfect: the bathroom was spacious enough to maneuver around and it was fine to have a shower-sitting. Everything was perfect. Eva's breakfast and home-made cakes in the afternoon were to die for. We had a wonderful time and next year we will come back. Guest's Name:

We have just returned from a heavenly two week holiday in sunny Cyprus. To say we enjoyed ourselves would be an understatement. From the moment we saw Andreas (or taxi man, as my 3 year old likes to call him) at the airport waiting for us, to the emotional reunion with Chris and his adorable mother Eva, till the moment we had to say our tearful goodbyes, it was just perfect. We visited last year for just one week, as we were a little nervous about taking our disabled son abroad for the first time. We found everything was so easy and well prepared for disabled people, that we quickly rebooked for this year. C and A apartments are the perfect holiday destination for disabled people and able bodied people alike and I would recommend them to anyone. We also had the pleasure of meeting our friends from last year, Jim, Tracy, Tom and Robbie again. This was the icing on the cake and made it a truly memorable holiday Thank you to Andreas, Chris and Eva and of course the rest of the family xx Guest's Name:

debbie latini At the beginning of july my husband lorenzo and I enjoyed a fab two weeks at evas appartments. We were very impressed with the excellent accomadation which was more accessible than any where we have ever stayed even better than our own home!!! Evas breakfasts and homemade cakes were fab as was Andreas's homemade lemonade. We were made to feel very welcome. We went on two of the trips with Andreas who impressed us with his vast knowledge the trip to the mountains was one I feel we will never forget because the scenery was breathtaking thankyou so much Andreas. The town and the local people were so welcoming too and accessible you never had to worry about where to eat because all the restaurants were so helpful. We will definately be returning next year to enjoy another carefree, friendly, welcoming and totally relaxing holiday. Thank you to Eva, Andreas, Chris and the rest of friends and family who made our holiday so great xx Guest's Name:
Dawn Hi to you all...
We would just like to give you an enormous Thanks and a thumbs up for all your help to ensure we had the time of our lives in Cyprus. We cannot express our thanks for the thought that has gone into your accommodation, especially with the wheelchair user in mind. Pete has been wheelchair bound for over 20 years due to MS, and has no lower mobility, impaired vision etc...and until we stayed with you and your family, we never thought a holiday like this would have ever been possible. The ramps, the wide access to studio's, the adapted shower rooms, and the apartment within which we stayed was fantastically thought out. It's been over 30 years since Pete had ever been in the sea...and with all your carefull adaptations to many accessible areas this was made possible. He was lowered into the sea from a specially adapted seat and hoist and he had a brilliant time dipping in the 'Med'. The Pool played a very important part in our stay at C & A Apartments......this meant that with the hoist and a special floating 'bed' my husband was able to enjoy a dip in the pool to keep cool. just like the rest of us....Well Done, Chris...you made our holiday a holiday to remember. Not forgetting Eva's magnificently delicious home made cakes for afternoon teas, and Andreas' sizzling barbecues.....cant wait to revisit next year......started packing already and have only been back home 24 hours.....Love to you all and thank you so very much, from the bottom of our hearts for such a truly memorable time. Will be in touch soon, Best wishes Dawn and Pete Bailey-Hague and Jan PS if anyone out there is reading this and wonders if it is too good to be true, you can email me .....contact Chris for my details.

My family and I (husband and two children) decided to take my mother on holiday with us. She has been in a wheelchair for six years and has not travelled abroad during this time. We were all extremely concerned how we would cope with the whole issues of travelling abroad. The accommodation side was easy, we found Chris and his family. Superb accommodation with everything my mother required for her stay. Nothing was too much trouble and the whole family made us feel extremely welcome. My two children aged 10 and 8 found nothing to moan about and enjoyed the pool and the local beach. The town itself is very nice. Chris has worked hard to ensure that facilities for the disabled are being put into place, a ramp for wheelchairs on the beach and toilets. The restaurant managers are all used to the requirements of wheelchair users and are extremely helpful and will assist with moving chairs, table as required. To sum up our holiday experience, we had an extremely relaxed and enjoyable holiday and my mother is already checking her dates for next year. Bev, Trev, Abby, Tony and Janet

Guest's Name:
chrisandjoyce Its always sad to return from a good holiday especially when you have found a totally suitable place to spend some time in the sun. As anyone who has to consider a disability will know, not every "disabled accessable" claim is what it should be, but not only are the newly refurbished rooms now totally suitable but the pool area with its raised sunbeds and pool hoist mean disabled and carer alike can enjoy peace of mind and a really relaxing holiday. If that were not enough you then have Christo and his extended family and friends who are the icing on the cake as far as we are concerned. Even on our first visit (this was our 3rd in just over 1 year) we were treated as family and now Joyce will e-mail Christo before we travel and sort out a B-B-Q evening as you would your own friends and family. Its very hard to say just what it is that makes the C&A apartments experience such an enjoyable one , but if Chris and Co could bottle it they would all be millionaires! Thanks once again guys.

Lovely place, lovely weather, but above all lovely people. All my fears about going on a "disabled holiday" were completely abolished when I met Eva, then Chris and Andreas.

"My third time at C&A apts in Polis, - being part of the furniture now - was like coming home after 3 years of staying away. Although it was Janneke's first time, it was so familiair to here, she had the feeling of knowing Eva, Andreas, and Chris as long as I do. We had a lovely and relaxing holiday. In the swimming pool and in the garden, talking with our neighbours, drinking Dutch coffee with Eva and Andreas and visiting the Polis park with Chris on the scooters (historic moment, his first time). The oranges from the trees in the garden where excellent, (juiceful and sweet) even as the home made lemonade, cakes, and oliveoil. My birthday party and present from Dimitri was a complete surprise, I'll never forget, Thanks to you all. We love to come again. See you later!!!

Daan We hebben met onze groep een fantastische week gehad hier op Cyrpus. het appartement en de studio's zijn met alle voorzieningen uitgerust en ook het zwembad met de lift was een genot. De ontvangst door Chris, Eva en Andreas was geweldig en ook de rest van de week werden we ondergedompeld in hun gastvrijheid! Verder hebben we genoten van uitstapjes naar Pafos, een rit door het Troodos gebergte en de zee die op 20 minuten loopafstand ligt. De afsluitende boottocht op de dag van ons vertrek was ook geweldig, zeker met het zwemmen in de zee! We hebben genoten van alles. Chris, Eva en Andreas: ga zo door! Guest's Name:
John Thorpe Where do I begin? Having just returned from a wonderful weeks holiday at C&A Apartments, with Chris, Eva, Andreus & the rest of the family. So many high points, from wonderful people, Fantastic food & the apartments are designed with such thought.Nothing was too much trouble. Eva's breakfast & home-made cakes in the afternoon, were to die for. Andreus knowledge on the trip to the Troodos mountains & Kykkos monastery was second to none, with plenty of stops on the way for refreshments, toilet & photos. Going out with Chris & the rest of the crowd was a scream. Tables raised at some restaurants for wheelchairs & waiters eager to help. Our holiday was also made a lot easier regarding wheelchairs, having only taken my sister's manual wheelchair, we hired an electric one from Chris, this made our holiday easier & also gave my sister a little more independence. (Chris as an array of chairs & scooters for you to hire) Please visit Chris's other website for items to hirer. www.paraquip.com.cy The biggest highlight was seeing Janet being lowered into the pool on the hoist & floating around with not a care in the world. But, saying good bye was the hardest, there were a few tears on parting with Eva. We will defiantly be going back next year to see our new found family & friends.

We have just had the most wonderful two weeks holiday in the C & A Apartments, were Chris, Eva and Andreas proved to be the perfect hosts. Nothing was to much trouble and they did every thing to make our holiday exceed all our expectations. The apartments situated just a few minutes from the lovely traffic free square of Polis with its friendly cafes, shops and restaurants is the perfect base for a stress free holiday.

And when we visit Cyprus next year we will certainly come back again. C&A is a perfect place to stay in, and its owners are really lovely people!!

This was my first visit abroad since becoming a wheelchair user and I was somewhat concerned as to accessibility and getting around (both inside and out). However I need not have worried as the facilities were perfect; infact some areas were better than I have at home!!!. There were ramps everywhere and the apartment was spacious enough to maneuver around easily in a wheelchair, the bathroom was spacious too, and it was great to have a shower - sitting down!! Chris has a wide range of chairs, power scooters, walking aids and much more, that are available for hire at a reasonable price.
Chris and his
family made us feel very welcome and were happy to stop and chat to
us, even though they appeared very busy. Chris found us plenty of
places to visit and several restaurants all of which were
accessible. Julie and I had a good time and we have recommended it to our friends and we hope to be back again soon Guest's Name:

Chris, we can’t thank you enough for all that you and your family did to ensure our first visit to your beautiful island was memorable. Our holiday would have been impossible had it not been for the thought that you’ve put into your apartment complex, making is perfectly suitable for wheelchair users. The hoist to get disabled people into the pool is a brilliant idea (even if the water is a little cold at this time of year!) and we can’t wait to return to visit you all again. Guest's Name:

agréable dans une ambiance familiale. La Maman prépare des bons et copieux repas
à la demande et le Papa peut vous emmener visiter la région dans un véhicule
parfaitement adapté. Chris, le fils de la famille, s'est investi pour que
certains restaurants, commerces, la plage soient accessibles et également pour
que les handicapés puissent participer à certaines activités nautiques et
sportives sur la plage de Latsi. Inutile de préciser que les logements (très

Our family spent a
fantastic two weeks at C&A Apartments. The hospitality of the Neophytou family
is exceptional. From the homeliness of Eva's cooking, the wisdom and knowledge
about Cypus of Andreas and the "everything is possible" attitude of Chris, it is
the perfect holiday for everyone. No-one should be concerned about any disabilty
as their positive approach will find the answer.
I wish the Neophytou family every success for the future and hope that others
learn from them.
