Hi Chris, Eva &
Andreas,
It was a privilege to spend a holiday at your apartments and to spend
time with your family. The benefits gained by my dad, who suffers from
Motor Neurone Disease and by my mother, were huge! The facilities for
dad and his wheelchair at the apartments were fantastic, and the work
you have done in promoting accessibility around Polis made this a truly
memorable family holiday.
The accessibility of the restaurants and bars in Polis was excellent and
we loved the hospitality that was so generously given to us at
Moustakallis, in particular! This was
typical of the warmth and friendship we received from all those we met
in your beautiful country (& especially your lovely town). But I must
say, neither dad nor David have managed to
get such a good shave since they returned home!
It was great to be able to spend time with the other guests too and to
exchange experiences and make helpful contacts. We will come back to
stay with you without a doubt and would recommend your apartments to
friends and family regardless of whether they have disabilities!
This was a special holiday, amongst special people, at special
apartments and we thank you!
Vivienne & David
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; in fact
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. We only have one complaint......that
it was too cold to go swimming!
Julie and I had a good time and we have recommended it to our
friends and we hope to be back again soon.

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.

Hi!
I just wanted to say thanks for such a brilliant holiday! Chris and his family
made me and my family feel extremely welcome from the minute we arrived and went
out of their way to make our first visit to Cyprus absolutely brilliant! The
rooms are so well adapted that it meant that coping in a wheelchair was no
problem and the pool hoist was a great help. I enjoyed every minute of it from
the evenings out with Chris to the boat trip which were definately some of the
highlights of the holiday. I'm already planning my next visit to C&A Apartments
and I can't wait to come back!

Nous venons de
passer une semaine chez Eva et Chris à Polis (Chypre). Nous recommandons cet
endroit très adapté au handicap physique, tout y est fait pour rendre la vie
facile et 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 proche du centre ville) et la piscine sont très accessibles et
que l'on peut y louer lève-malade et fauteuil électrique.

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.

hello all of you,
I only can say thank you for everything. Since I have to use a wheelchair this
has been the most wonderful experience - I felt like a member of the family. as
I have seen a few places before and I am rather critical, but this place is
exceptional, one does feel safe and does get every comfort. last year i started
to travel on my own - without company. at the appartment and at the airport i
felt like something special, but of course in a good way. Next year - if the
political situation is not going to a worse change, I definitely will came back
to this place - to the always cheerful eva, nutcracking andreas and of course to
chris, who does manage the 'new' life very well.and to all the activities they
offer - one does get more confident in oneself. this is the way how holidays
should be - relaxing.
thank you again!

We have just returned from our
second visit this year to C&A Apartments and if possble we enjoyed it even more
than the first time!Helen like Chris has Ataxia and is a wheelchair user.
Andreus has shown us some of the local delicasies,his home grown olives,
pomegranites also showing us his nuts.
My wife Helen was a fearless participant in extreme sports and had a crack at
Parasailing,we also enjoyed the new ramp at the beach and the Alkion 2 Glass
bottom boat trip.
Eva kept us supplied with cakes and hearty breakfasts,whilst also showing us the
best swimming spots.
We are already looking forward to our next visit and meeting up with our Cypriot
freinds. Can't wait to return.

Hello All,
Mo and I have just returned from a holiday ay C&A Tourist Apartments in Cyprus.
It is a small family-run concern consisting of eight 1 or 2 bedroom studios and
a 3 bedroom apartment. I have been fortunate enough be able to travel around the
world with my wheelchair, and have stayed in many hotels and resorts with
varying degrees of accessible accommodation. I can say without hesitation that
this was the most enjoyable worry-free week I have spent anywhere.
Andreus and his wife Eva, along with their son Chris (Who has Friedreich’s
Ataxia like me) run a very friendly and well organised location for able-bodied
and disabled people alike. The main reason for their success in my opinion is
the small scale of the apartments. Instead of being a room number, you are made
to feel part of the family. All visitors are encouraged to mix & dine with
others bringing shy people comfortably out of their shells.
Accessibility has been the main driving force behind the design with roll-in
showers and handrails where they should be. A swimming pool with a hoist and
handrails is ideal to cool off in the very warm climate (I went in October!) To
complete a perfect holiday, there are various accessible excursions such as a
boat trip with a specially designed hoist-chair to lower you over the side and
into the sea! Unbelievably, there is also a fully accessible parasailing trip! A
resident accessible taxi and rentals of electric scooters and other such
equipment make C&A Tourist Apartments the complete holiday for all.

4th time with Chris Eva and their

hospitality shown to us. We have found the gem in the Island of Cyrpus, we are
sure there isn't a better place to stay.
Back to the lovely U.K. with rain hail and cold winds, never mind it gives us
the reason to save to see Cyprus and our wonderful family again next year.
By the way the 6 of us staying in the appartment are all able bodied, but we can
see by the happy faces why the disabled guest find C and A appartments the best.
Thank you all for a wonderful holiday.

Heel erg bedankt voor de geweldige vakantie die wij hebben gehad in jullie appartement. De boottocht was een mooie belevenis en de trip met Andreas heeft ook veel mooie indrukken bij ons achtergelaten. De maaltijden en barbeques van Eva en Andreas waren heerlijk. 'Anita' vond de tuin van dichtbij, na haar duikeling, ook heel mooi en het zwemmen in de zee met Eva was ook om nooit te vergeten. We hebben genoten van het welkom en de gastvrijheid. Een goede reden om snel weer terug te komen.

Although we were actually
staying in a hotel in Paphos, the fantastic day we spent with Chris in Polis was
the highlight of the holiday. I was lucky enough to find the Evas Apartments
website before leaving the UK, and met up with Chris once in Cyprus. We had a
whole day of activities, including a boat trip with a gorgeous swim in the sea,
and parasailing. Since an accident last year left me confined to a wheelchair,
these were things I thought were no longer possible. Chris showed me that
anything is possible! All his hard work has meant that Polis is a much more
accessible place for wheelchair users, and the ramp down on the beach is
brilliant.
Thank you so much for giving us such a great experience!

This is the second time of
visiting C & A Apartments in Polis and have found the features in the complex
have changed for the better ie:- the higher sun beds & handrails around the
swimming pool & the taxi service supplied by Chris father Andreas. This has
made the already superb facilities which were installed last year made the
holiday we had last year [which we could not fault in any way or form] so much
more pleasurable, I have Motor Neurone Disease and I can not move my legs
anymore, the extra facilities made my holiday so much more pleasurable than
last year as we were able to get out more because of Andreas’s disabled taxi
which ment I did not have to leave my electric wheelchair. So I can only thank
Chris, Eva, Andreas, Arnue for the help they gave us for a superb and
excellent holiday

We all had a great time, the
facilities made it easy to enjoy a holiday without worry.
The hoist at the pool was great, rooms/bathrooms easy access.
We were all made to feel at home at C and A. Infact it was a bit like going to
visit my own mum the way we were welcomed.
The climax for me was seeing my son raise from his wheelchair into the air when
we went parasailing!!!
All i can say is what you see on the web site is all as it seems.
Genuine and a great place for a holiday. Polis was nice and although the
restaurants fail in there facilities for less abled people, there is a Public
Toilet for special needs in the town square which is only 2 minutes from most
restaurants,and thus no problem.

Hi Chris,
Thanks again to you, Eva, Andreas, Nitsa (excuse the spelling!) and, of
course, Dimitri, for such a wonderful time, you welcomed us as your own
family.
The hoist and the pool were fantastic for Robbie - he says a big thank you
for the best birthday ever (especially the birthday cake!), the fastest
wheelchair and the great fun he had on the electric scooter. Tom and Robbie just
loved it with you all and want us to move to Cyprus!
The food was superb and the accommodation excellent. Thank you for our
'family' meal, it was lovely to meet so many of your family. I will never
forget the early morning swims with Eva and seeing the sunrise - it was
beautiful.
The company was excellent and we were brought together with a lovely family,
Helen, Nigel, Liam and Amy, who also made our stay special and we know will be lasting friends.
We hope to see you all next year.
All our love, Trace, Jim, Tom and Robbie

My family and I have just returned from one of the best holidays we have ever had. We spent a week with Chris, Eva and Andreas at their beautiful holiday apartments but we wish we had booked up for two weeks as one week was definitely not long enough. We were greeted at the airport by Andreas in his fantastic taxi that allowed our 5 year old disabled son to travel safely in his wheelchair. We arrived at the complex 45 minutes later, to be greeted by Chris and his mum Eva. To say they made us feel welcome is an understatement!!! There are so many happy memories of our holiday that i could go on for ever about them, but the highlights would have to be the delicious barbeque that was laid on by Eva and Andreas, parasailing with my son, going out every night with Chris to lovely restaurants and meeting some wonderful people but most of all how easy everything was. The apartments are perfect for making a holiday as a disabled person, or with a disabled person as stress free as possible. We have already booked our holiday for next year, but this time we are coming for 2 weeks- so look out Chris!!!!

Just like many of the other comments below, Lou & I have
just returned from an fantastic but exhausting enjoyable holiday at C&A
apartments and the Akamas. I am glad to be back at work for a rest! What with
going to watch the Euro 2004 football into the early hours with Chris, then
catching a few hours sleep until we were up again at 5.30 for the sun rise swim
with Eva. In between trying to fit in snorkelling, biking & walking.
Don't let this put you off going, it is possible to spend your time relaxing and
chilling out . Chris, Eva & Andreas are the most perfect hosts you can ever wish
for. Nothing is ever too much trouble, they are always willing to please. The
atmosphere at C&A is nothing like I have ever experienced before, you will make
friends with lots of lovely people who will enrich your life forever, it is very
much home from home. I can now understand why Lou has returned 3 times, I
certainly will.

We have just
got back to the UK, after a truly wonderful week with Eva, Chris and Andreas.
From the moment we arrived at the airport and were greeted by Andreas with a
huge placard with our names on, to the wonderful parting BBQ put on by the
family on our last night, we felt as though we were more 'house-guests' than
visitors. The apartments are beautiful, the pool surrounded by lemon and orange
trees and Eva's breakfasts to die for! Getting to know everyone else that was
staying was great, and we particularly enjoyed our boat trip and blue-lagoon
swim with Eva, Chris and many of the other guests.
Polis offers a wide range of places to eat, at a reasonable price and is handy
to lots of lovely beaches and places of interest. We nearly always go
self-catering, liking the freedom it offers one and the privacy. However, the
diferentiating factor from all other self-catering places we have stayed in was
the fact that we really DID feel part of the family and that was all down to the
wonderful atmosphere of the place - it is QUITE UNIQUE. It was very hard to tear
ourselves away, and my eyes were strangely moist as I hugged Eva good-bye.
Oh, and by the way, neither of us are disabled. This is a place for anyone
looking for the perfect mix of relaxation, wonderful hosts, the opportunity to
mix with others if you want to, and yet enjoy the privacy of your own lovely
little apartment on the most beautiful island, with a wonderful family.

Stayed with Chris and Eva for the last week of may 2004. This was my 18th birthday present. Went along with a mate Dave and we had a great time. Easy to get around, not much for the younger generation in polis itself but there is a go-karting place up the road and with Latch just 10 mins away there are plenty of watersports to get in to. Parasailing and Jetsking where what we tried and we were very pleased, price ain't to bad 18CY£ for parasailing and 25CY£ for 30 min on a jet bike. Latch Watersports are well qualified with PADI and are insured, fun with no hastle. If your looking for a nice place for a drink just 2mins round the corner for c&a is a bar called waterfall. Great prices and gud pool table. Bar staff freindly although don't understand English to well. The bar down at Polis beach is open almost all the time, always freindly, english people, and put on some gud entertainment most nights, music for all ages. Great for a piss up. Chris and Eva are really friendly people and are always there to help, i thank them for a great time, enjoyed every min.

We all know
what it's like trying to book a holiday that is going to suit our individual
needs.Surfing the net,phoning hotels and apartment complexes to be assured
everything is suitable only to find out on arrival that everything is not.Well
stop wasting time and get onto Chris and book a holiday in Cyprus, which is just
as it says on the website.But it's not just the many adaptations in and around
the apartments and complex which make a holiday at Chris and Eva's such a good
one.It is very hard to single out or put a finger on what it is, but everything
you read in this guest book is true.
Everyone will get something different from a holiday here, and from a friendship
with Chris,his parents,family and staff.For me it was knowing Joyce was able to
enjoy our holiday as much as myself and the fun we had with Chris on our
excursions,boat trip and meals out.One word of caution,Chris promised to have me
working for him during my stay and true to his word he did,but I can say never
before has it been such a pleasure to work on holiday and for such a great boss!
It's just a shame he would'nt take me on full time!!
To all in Cyprus many thanks once again for a great holiday and wev look forward
to having a drink with you all when we return in september.

We have just
returned from a wonderful week' s holiday staying with Chris, Eva and Andreas
at their apartments complex in Polis. It was lovely to meet Chris after
exchanging so many e-mails. I felt as though I was greeting an old friend.
The patio facing apartment was ideal for us, as it had plenty of space for
wheeling around. The beds were comfortable and just the right height for
lateral transfer, and the bathroom was well designed and spacious.
We had agreed that Ruth would not do any cooking at all, so we had breakfast
by the pool each morning (a wonderful range of dishes prepared by Eva) and
went into Polis for lunch and supper most days.
We soon realised that Chris had been hard at work to ensure that all the local
restaurants are wheelchair accessible. This was brilliant and make life much
easier and more enjoyable for us. Most of the pavements are dipped, although
people seem quite used to seeing wheelchairs bowling along the edge of the
road. In fact they are used to seeing people in wheelchairs generally and take
it for granted, a change from other places where everyone stares at you!
This was our first visit to Cyprus, the destination being determined by
finding an ideal holiday venue. I'm always looking out for places where you
can hire disability equipment, and there are very few of them, so we found
ourselves going to Cyprus.
We did not have a hire car, but instead we went out for two separate
excursions with Andreas. During our excursions into the mountains to see the
monastery and then to Paphos to see the mosaics, we were entertained by
Andreas who knows everything there is to know about the history, geography and
economics of Cyprus.
I can highly recommend the complex apartment itself, the town of Polis, and
the whole area of Western Cyprus. The weather in May was wonderful -- just
right for someone who doesn't like it too hot. The rest of the guests were fun
and good company, and it was nice to meet a different group of people. But
best of all was the delightful family who run the holiday complex. They are
really quite special people, and you must go meet them as soon as you can. But
don't tell everybody how wonderful and they are, or there may be no room for
us next time we want to go !

We spent 10 days
in April 2004 having a wonderful time that was entirely due to the kindness,
friendship and help from Eva, Andreas and Chris. Nothing was too much bother.
The facilities are well arranged and support the needs of the disabled
traveller. This is especially evident in the pool with grip bars and an
electric hoist.
We had the honour to be among the first people to walk and ride across the new
beach "mat" giving direct access to the sea, a facility due to the
perseverance of Chris.
We loved the island and the climate, that was very benefical to Jackie, so we
decided to purchase a property. We needed to be on hand to keep Chris out of
mischief!
Hello to you all
My first day back in work and I am thinking of you all sitting by the pool
eating Eva's wonderful breakfast.
Thankyou all for making Mea and I part of your family for the 2 weeks we spent
with you.
We will be back next year and will bring Karl who is looking forwarding to
meeting you all.
I will recommend your appartments to all !!!!
Hi Chris, Eva and Andreas,
Thanks again for a wonderful holiday. Your friendship and helpfulness to all of those who visit you is exceptional, and many thanks you for organising a wonderful Birthday Party for Tony - the cakes etc were scrumptious. The whole complex, and of course the pool area with hoist is well adapted to the needs of those in a wheelchair, and our stay in apartment 7 was very comfortable. This is the second time we have visited the complex, and I am sure we will return again soon. The C & A Appartments are one the few holiday destinations hat we have found where we can guarantee that Jenny will be catered for in every respect.

This was the best
holiday we have had in years. It was great to travel with the wheelchair in
confidence we would be ok at our destination - the apartment was just as
described as was the pool and the other facilities.
The Family made us feel welcome & comfortable from the start. Chris & Eva do
that bit extra to make sure you enjoy your break.
We would compare our stay to visiting family or old friends such was the rapport
and friendship extended to us by the family.
Chris is an inspiration to all and we expect him to be Mayor of Polis any day
soon, his family are very warm genuine people, we enjoyed every day and can't
wait to return.
Helen has Freidriechs Ataxia like Chris & we would not hesitate in recommending
the apartments to anyone considering Polis for a holiday.

Hi

Many thanks for such a wonderful holiday in Cyprus.
You & your family provide the "personal touch", which is very hard to find
these days.
So I am telling everyone about the "wheelchair friendly" facilities you offer

I’d like to
state that Chris Neophytou and his family are wonderful and genuine people who
truly go out of their way to make people welcome in their home. I am truly
delighted to have met them, and I hope to do so again one day. Chris is truly
a great friend of all people disabled or able bodied, and his nick name of the
“Wheelchair Warrior” is fitting as he is championing all of his home village
of Polis to become wheelchair friendly. I know that one day he will succeed in
his quest. His integrity is beyond reproach and he is a truly remarkable
person, I state publicly that I am honoured to have met such an intelligent,
honest and friendly man, who always finds time in his busy schedule to talk to
the people around him.
Thank you Chris for allowing me the privilege of meeting you and your lovely

Dear Chris
I would like you too add my comments about our recent stay in your guestbook.
We, my husband (full time carer) and I had a 5 week stay in Polis at C & A
Tourist Apartments from the 25th of January to the 29th of February 2004.
The hospitality and accommodation have been first class, "5 star" and second
to none. The welcome retreat in your beautiful country has given us a much
needed tonic from the worst part of the English winter.
Studio no. 2 provided all the requirements we could wish for as described in
your advertising web site. We have passed on our recommendations to the local
Keighley and Craven branch of the MS Society.
Regards, Hanna Merrett.

but it was February and still warmer than England!
The apartments were clean, spacious and well equipped.
Although we didn't use it the pool area was very attractive.
Chris and Eva and family were very warm and welcoming and this really helped
to make our holiday a very positive experience.
I was very impressed with the adaptations for disabled people and wheelchair

A big hello and
Happy New Year to you all. We visited for lunch one day during our holiday in
October 2003 and Chris and Eva you made us very welcome. In fact you invited
us to stay overnight to save us the 3 hr journey back to Protaras where we had
booked our holiday. There are 5 in my family myself Mairi, husband Eric & the
kids Hannah, Thomas and his twin Ellyn. Ellyn has cerebral palsy and it
wasn't until we had booked our holiday that I discovered this site on the
internet. So without any hesitation I would definately be booking to stay
here on my return visit to Cyprus (although it might have to be earlier in the
year as the pool was just a trifle chilly!! - although Ellyn did challange
Chris to join her in the pool which he did with just a little reluctance.)
Thank you Chris and Eva for your hospitality and for making us feel very much
part of the family however short lived that was.

Ein Jahr geht wieder zu Ende, Zeit also einen Rückblick zu machen. Für mich
war es im Großen und Ganzen gesehen, ein gutes Jahr. Besonders die zwei
Wochen, die wir bei Euch in Polis verbracht haben. Die Gastfreundschaft, die
Ihr uns entgegengebracht habt findet man nicht oft, DANKE.
Mit der Renovierung und Neugestaltung des Bad und WC im Studio 4 habt Ihr für
Rollstuhlbenützer ein weiteres optimales Studio geschaffen, das keine Wünsche
offen lässt.
Wenn 2004 dann auch die Rampe ins Meer am Strand aufgestellt wird, ist für
Rollstuhlfahrer dann auch das Schwimmen im Mittelmeer problemloser möglich.
Wir wünschen Euch Allen weiterhin alles Gute und besonders Dir Chris, Erfolg
in Deinen Bemühungen für Rollstuhlfahrer optimale Urlaubsfreuden zu genießen.

It has turned out to e the least troubled holiday that I have ever taken, I would recomend these apartments to any disabled or able body persons wishing to travel abroad to Cyprus in the future.

Chris, Eva and Andreas took us in as "refugees" from the other accommodation we'd booked in Polis which was a shabby shack by a dirty pool surrounded by a garden with very few trees. (For a less cryptic guide on one place not to stay in Polis, feel free to email me!) We were very lucky, because I can't understand how they're not always full. This part of Cyprus is very beautiful, and this family will guarantee that your stay with them at C&A is a true reflection of the Cypriot hospitality and landscape.

Dear Our Cyprus family, I am not going to tell anyone we had a brilliant time, that you made our holiday fantastic, that we enjoyed the food so very much, that swimming off of the glass bottomed boat and in the sea in Aphrodites cove was magical, if I tell everyone this they will all want to come and we won't be able to get in next year, if I tell them Chris is a charmer, Eva's cooking is wonderful Andreas supplies the most wonderful fresh fruit, and the family make you feel so very welcome we wont be able to get in for the next twenty years. SO IT WAS AWFUL FOLK!!!!!!. When can we come again. By the way folk we are both able bodied so if you are thinking C&A appartment are for disabled people only think again, its an experience you wont forget from a second time visitor, thanks to you all love Jacqui and Alan

needed. As you know we tend to live really very busy lives and just being

just what the doctor ordered. I just wanted to mention the 'making great

friends. Laura is, I think, still very fond of Jonas (her first real holiday

Hi Chris, Eva, Andreas and the rest of the family, Another quickie, as I'm busy doing a write up on my holiday in Cyprus for our work magazine, a copy or two of which will send their way to your shores shortly. Thank you all for ensuring my holiday there with the kids at the end of August was every bit as brilliant as my holiday there with my girlfriend at the beginning of July! At this rate you can expect me to turn up at your doorstep sometime before the middle of October! It was a great honour to officially open 'The Goddard Bridge' - (ramped access from the apartment to the pool). It might not have quite the same ring about it as the Golden Gate, but it suited my purposes and those of your guests a whole lot better! It's so good to see the very positive steps you're taking there to ensure that disabled people, whatever their impairment, can enjoy both an action packed holiday and a peaceful and relaxing sojourn. In the two weeks I spent there, spanning the summer of 2003, I can say that I had as much action and peace as any normal person can stand....luckily, I may not be entirely normal, so you can reasonably expect me to make a return visit next summer for more jet-skiing, parasailing, boat trips and the rest! Till then, I wish you all the best Your English friend Chris Goddard

If you want to take a risk on visiting C&A Apartments, be prepared to fall in love. It happens slowly but steadily so plan to stay at least two weeks for the full magic to take effect. From the first welcome by your new family: Chris and his parents Eva and Andreas, to the ready offerings of boat trips to enchanted turquoise coves, buffet barbecue dinners of local seasonal delights created by Eva and her daughter Nitsa's professionally skilled culinary hands, Andreas' own Cyprus coffee and conversation, an 'at dawn' dip in the Mediterranean with Eva, or an ever ready crystal clear pool to cool off in. Horses for hire, watersports-for those sorts!, churches to recharge in, meandering roads through "each one unique" villages where a glass of fresh lemonade never tasted quite so good before. Discover a donkey down around the bend. Greet some sheep or moufflon (goats) heading home again. There are festivals and plays, beautiful sunny days. Walk around the town or just spend the day lying down with a book...or a lover... Whichever way you look at it, Cyprus seems to be all things to all people. We brought the United Nations to C&A Apartments. Our families came from Kuwait, Israel, the USA. But we discovered that C&A has its own U.N. already ( South Africa, Cyprus, Germany, Greece, Iran) And theirs is no doubt more effective at creating a peaceful place than the original! These people know that a vacation becomes memorable not only for its great beds and spacious quarters. It's the faces and the people that will stay with you long after you return to your real lives. And who knows? You may have fallen in love enough to make Cyprus your real life and C&A your home. Go on. Take a risk.

Dear Chris and Eva and not forgetting the rest of the family
We would like to say a BIG thank you for making our holiday in Cyprus so brilliant. Where do we begin or more importantly finish - just in case we miss out something. Your warmth and hospitality has over whelmed us, you made us feel part of your family. The wonderful home cooking, the BBQ, the tasty afternoon cakes has left a huge inprint on our minds (But how can this compare to swimming in the sea and watching the sun rise - you were right Eva, I should have done it sooner than on the last day). The apartment was brilliant and posed no problems for a T9 paraplegic. The village of Polis is so charming, not having been spoilt by the "tourist industry" but has all the necessary shops, chemists and restaurants that anyone should need. Ahh I nearly forgot the fantastic ice cream shop with all its many flavours of ice cream and frozen yogurt - enough for a different flavour each night of your stay, now that would be a sin! But with all the activities that everyone can take part in means you don't need to worry about the waist line. We tried swimming, parasailing, scuba diving, jet skiing, horse riding, oxooning and U-tubing and still found time for a boat trip along the coast and visits to the Troodos Mountains, Limassol, Paphos, Agai Napa, Protaras, and we even ventured over to Famagusta in the Turkish part. However on our few lazy afternoons we fell in love with Latchi and found the beach very quiet and the pebbles made it easy to access the sunbeds in the wheelchair. Once the ramp is in at Polis beach it will be an ideal spot with lovely soft sand and access to the water for all, we shall just have to return so that we can experience the full beauty of this beach!
Being adventurous people we have always looked for another different location for our next holiday. C&A Apartments at Polis is the only place we have promised to return to - soon.
Again thank you all for a fantastic and unforgettable holiday.

Greetings from a very warm England - not something you hear every day!
Just a quick note to thank you for all your help and kindness when we visited
in July. The chair obviously was indispensable for me, and it made life a lot
easier not to have to bring my own.
In fact, so impressed was I by the whole holiday experience for a disabled

You and all your family made us so very welcome, it didn't feel like we were paying guests, more like visiting friends. Thanks for all your suggestions and help with places to go and things like hiring a car. The accommodation and facilities were all excellent and certainly made me more independent. The town of Polis is wonderful and (due in part to your hard work Chris) so many of the shops and restaurants are accessible. We also found everyone really friendly. The surrounding area is amazing we fell in love with the Baths of Aphrodite and the area leading to the Akamas Peninsula. The flowers and plants are incredible, just being able to see olive, carob and pistachio trees along the road is almost surreal! I particularly liked the animals too, and driving is made more fun because you never know if you are going to find a donkey, herd of goats or a cockerel in the road! All in all the best holiday ever and we hope to see everyone again really soon. Julie Waterman and Mick Drake

We felt part of the family as soon as we arrived and were welcomed with coffee and the most delicious cake. Thank you Chris for organising the horse riding. We explored the delights of Cyprus from the saddle, cantered through fields and swam with the horses in the sea. I was able to do all this and no one questioned my wheelchair. The proprietor just saw me as another rider regardless whether I could walk or not. For that I am most grateful.We had a lot of laughs too - I'll never forget the day you (Chris) 'towed' me in your powerchair whilst I (in my manual) hung on to a piece of rope and slalomed through the streets of Polis!

Date Signed: Sun 25 NovDear friends, Having heard the enthusiastic stories from Veerle, who spent her holidays in Polis in 2001, we decided to follow her advice. Now that was a very good idea! We've so much enjoyed our staying with you. The impressive cultural heritage, the beautiful nature and the ever lasting sunshine in your country (28 degrees Celsius in November!) were nothing, compared to the overwhelming hospitality we have exprienced. Only now we can understand what Veerle meant, saying that she really had found new friends in Cyprus! Pieter from Belgium

Date Signed: Sat 19 OctWe really had a hard time deciding wether or not to leave a message on the C&A board.It's a big dilemma--- if we tell the truth we may never be able to get a reservation ever again. So I guess we will just say that it is the most unfriendly, horrible place you could imagine ---- just to ensure that we can visit our family in polis again next year.

Date Signed: Mon 7 OctHi Chris, Eva and family Thanks for such a wonderful stay. From our very first contact, I knew that we had picked the right place to stay. Your apartments are clean, comfortable and well equipped. Your location is perrrfect! You're away from the crowds but close enough that it's a quick trip to the main historical sites that everyone wants to see. Breakfasts were fabulous with ample choice and the afternoon tea and cake - Yummy! Thanks again to the whole family for making our holiday such a wonderful and relaxing time. We'll be back!

Date Signed: Wed 2 OctHi to Eva, Andreas and especially Chris - we can truly say we've never felt so welcome anywhere we've stayed. Barry can particularly recommend Eva's breakfasts!! The apartments are very comfortable and the swimming pool and terrace area beautiful and clean, surrounded by lovely colourful plants and flowers. The surrounding area of the Akamas is completely unspoilt, and we loved the boat trips and barbeques. Together with plenty of good, reasonably priced restaurants in Polis and Latchi, C & A Apartments are the ideal base for a Cypriot holiday in the sun! Hope we'll return one day soon - in the meantime take care and love to you all. Liz & Barry xxxxxxxxxx
