Name: Douglas James 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 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 Guest's

Guest's
Name: olliehickey 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

Name: Joan Eley Hi Chris, We were privileged to meet you and your fantastic family...so full of warmth and kindness. The accommodation was brilliant, and the hire of the power chair made things so much easier for getting around. The holiday experience will stay in our memory banks for a long time. We will look forward to meeting you all again soon' Kindest regards, Joan and Alistair Guest's

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. Guest's

on our second holiday to Greetings
from Jan and Jannie Lubbinge, Hessel and Lotty Nijenhuis Guest's
Name: b r 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 Guest's

Chris, It is sadly very hard

holiday with you in Guest's
Name: charles prickett 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

"Sadly, in this world of increasingly 'couldn't care less', holidays for the less able could become more of an ordeal than a pleasure. BUT WAIT NO MORE, if you want to get away, look no further than C & A. In this frustrating desert of disability you will find an OASIS IN POLIS run by a caring family you only dream of meeting, whose motto should read......'YOUR NEEDS ARE OUR DEEDS, UNCONDITIONALLY!'. I swear you will return, we definitely will. Thank you all so much for a tremendous holiday, with love from Michael, Karen and Keith." Guest's

to thank you again for a fantastic holiday. We love 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.

Chris & the family for a brilliant holiday. The studio was fine, the pool a real treat, & Eva's help with my forgotten

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 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.

Name: Hardy Family 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

Name: Brenda Glock 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

Name: wiltrud.nicke@freenet.de 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! Guest's

Name: 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,

chris and family,
we arrived safely back in
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 Guest's

Wylie Hi Chris and all your wonderfull family. Please forgive us not geting in touch before now.We were so sorry not being able to say goodbye to you, but hope that you are OK now. 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.

Name: Stuart Moir 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 Guest's

Name:LOKILAND 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 Guest's

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
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.

This was our first time staying at C&A in May 2008 and it won't be our last! We just want to say a very big thank you to you, Chris, and to Nitsa and Andreas and a special thanks to Eva for helping to make our stay at C&A an enjoyable one. 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!

Name: dawn 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.

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. Guest's

Name: Hugh James 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 using the poolside hoist and was able to enjoy bathing in the sea
when he went on the boat trip and was lowered into the sea in the special
chair suspended from the ship's davits and was then able to swim around using
a ring. Guest's
Name: 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. Guest's

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. Guest's
Name: 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 Guest's
Name: David Powell 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 Guest's

Name: 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 Guest's

tip, gingen we dit jaar naar Polis in 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 !! Guest's
Name: DENISE FULLERTON 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. Guest's

there greeting us all, its just like home from home......well sort of.......i
think andy does more work here than he does at home (ha ha),even Demetris was
there helping with our luggage, and then you came to greet us, you little ray

know without your help we wouldn't be able to achieve that, they love getting
up in the morning and wheeling their chairs down to enjoy the wonderful
breakfast Eva has prepared for us all, not to mention the great afternoon cakes,there
is only one sad part of the holiday and thats the leaving you all to come

Name: CHRIS BURGESS 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! Guest's

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.

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

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. Guest's

Name:
Jim Robinson 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. Guest's

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 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. A walk
along the beach between Polis and Latchi Your service to anyone who asks (and even those who don't!) Kind Regards Elaine, Arthur, Len and Margaret Guest's
Name: Emma
Fairhall 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

Chris what can we say..........a fantastic holiday at C&A Appartments was

looked for a perfect holiday for our 2 wheelchair user friends,and we
certainly found it with you and your family,there was nothing they couldnt do
and that was all down to you,they have been abroad before but never have they
enjoyed theirselves so much..........as much to say they have already planned
to return next May.you make everyone feel like one big happy family and Terry
and Madge just didnt want to return home,(well nor did we really).We made
lots of friends and hope to meet up with them when we come back in May.Your
appartments,access for wheelchairs,pool and hoist and not forgetting eva's
wonderful breakfast's and cake's were everything they needed for a perfect
stressfree holiday,and not forgetting our little taxi man
himself........Andreas,his was the first face we saw when we came through to
arrivals,and i must say it was a pleasure to meet him,he really reassured us
after our late flight.So all thats left to say is thank you and see you all
next year,oh just one more thing thanks for all the laughs you gave us at the
BBQ(ha ha) love to
you all Ashley and Andy xxxxxxxx Guest's

Name: R WIDDOWSON What can we say, we had
another fantastic holiday once again in such a relaxing atmosphere. All
our needs were catered for (especially Dan's appetite with Eva's
cakes!). This was our 3rd visit in 2 years and we're just so pleased to
have found such a wonderful relaxing place with such a warm friendly
atmosphere. As ever we were made to feel like one of the
family. It was also great to catch up with friends made from our
holiday last year. See you again in September, lots of love Rachel

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!)

Name: Rebecca Goff An excellent place to stay in an excellent location. All facilities are within easy walking distance. Chris, Andreas and Eva provide a warm and welcoming atmosphere and Eva’s home made cakes are just what you need with a nice cup of tea after a hard day in the sun! The accommodation has excellent facilities for people with disabilities and the staff will always go that extra mile to ensure that your stay is first class. Guest's
Name: Matthew Law Thankyou
very much for making our stay with you so comfortable last week. Of course, I
knew what to expect having been in 2005 but I bought with me 5 different
people this time, each with different needs and abilities. I really
appreciate the efforts you went to to provide us 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. Guest's

the complex is superb fully accsessible for wheelchairs. It
is a home from home with the family that run it
making it so. Everyone is so freindly and helpful which we found extended
into the town with restaurants, shops and bars. It was certainly the best
holiday ever and we would reccomend it most highly to anyone. Di

expecting a week lazing in the sun. Yes you can do that but it's much more
fun talking with the Neophytou family! From grandad Andreas (who we called
the 'mountain goat' - find out for yourself), to a very young grandma
Eva who will help in whatever way she can, to son Chris, who is really
something of a party animal with a wicked sense of humour, to the gorgeous
grandsons Andreas and little Dimitri. They make you so welcome you feel as if
you've known them much longer than a week. Watch out

Chris and Eva, Guest's
Name: Noel
McCann 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 Guest's

hoeve “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. Guest's

Name: MARK JAMES 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 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 Thank you to everyone for making our holiday so special. Love

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 Guest's Name: Chris Christofides "We are a family of five

I was born in Guest's Name: pietchelvis 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: Jim Morrison Dear Chris, Eva,

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.
