Dear
Chris.
Spending time in your appartment was the best thing we
could have done this autumn; from the day we met your
father at the airport, till he drove us back again. Time
was filled with good and new experiences, and the best
of all was to get to know you.
Oh yes, we will mention the lovely trip
we had with your dad to Pafos too. There we saw "Pompei's
miniature". And Knut could go everywhere on his bicykle,
which was a huge pluss.Your mum's cooking - lovely! And
the way everyone in the family made us feel welcome to
your home! Once again; thank you ever so much! And
please give all the family our best regards and best
whishes for a wonderful Christmas.

We spent
our holidays in Cyprus in an individual way with our backpacks.
In our guidebook we had read about an interesting accomodation
in Polis. The comments in this book were very likable and so we
decided to look and to spend some nights there
We were received very warm and familiar in this very nice house
and we were very delightful about Chris, Eva and their very nice
stuff and also about the wonderful studio. Especially impressed
we were about the equipment to make it possible for disabled
people to spend some free and easy days in this wonderful area.
We have been working with disabled people for some years. So we
can see it on every day how troublesome it is for disabled
people in every day. It was very wonderful to see the efforts in
the C & A Tourist Apartments. And we were very happy about the
uncomplicated and warm conversations with the stuff and the
guests at breakfast and otherwhere. At home we reported in our
offices about the engagement and the possibilities for disabled
people there and we were enthusiastic for the reception and the
service. We recommended this accomodation very well to spend
some phantastic days. The charme of this house and its people
inspired us to come back to this wonderful country and its
especially wonderful people in Polis during the next years. We
are very happy to meet us again !

Liebe Familie Neophytou und Roussot,
vielen Dank für die schöne Ferienzeit, die wir bei C&A
verbringen durften. Die familiäre Atmosphäre, das vorzügliche
Essen, die gepflegten Apartments, der saubere und beheizte
Swimmingpool, das alles haben dazu beigetragen, dass wir uns vom
ersten bis letzten Urlaubstag wohlgefühlt haben und nur schweren
Herzens unser Urlaubsdomizil verlassen haben. C&A ist zwar
speziell für behinderte Gäste eingerichtet, doch auch für nicht
Behinderte ist es eine erstklassige Adresse um einen entspannten
und erlebnisreichen Urlaub zu verbringen. Der Strand in Polis
lädt zum Baden ein, einen ausgiebigen Sparziergang kann man auf
dem neu angelegten Weg in entlang des Strandes bis nach Latschi
unternehmen. Ausflüge in die nähere Umgebung sollten auf alle
Fälle unternommen werden, um vielfältige Eindrücke über Land
und Leute zu gewinnen .Ein Leihwagen vom Verleiher Petridis hat
den Vorteil, dass man vom Flughafen abgeholt und wieder
zurückgebracht wird, alles im Mietwagenpreis inklusive. So macht
der Urlaub riesigen Spaß
Danke an Eva,Nitza,Chris,Andrew und der restlichen Familie

For the second time we visited your aparments. The arrival on
the airport was great because John, the taxi driver of last year
was greeting us exuberant. In his professial way he brougt us in
your adapted taxi from the airport to the appartments. The two
scooters for our boys were ready. Most we enyoyed this year the
seatrac. Especially the boys did.
And don’t forget the coocking of Eva and her staff.
We found ourselves home again during the 10 days of staying with

Hi Chris,
Again we enjoyed our holidays very much. It's so fine to know
that there is an adapted taxi
for the transfers from and to the airport which allows
me to stay in my wheelchair during the ride.
This year I hired again a mobility scooter and it was so
beautiful to ride to the sea and
on the accessable beachway to the next village together
with Rudy on the bicycle.
The food was excellent and Rudy will have special
memories of his birthday when he got the special cake and
felicitations from everybody.
I enjoyed swimming in the heated pool and I am looking forward
to try next year the Seatrac
and to swim also in the sea.
Warm regard and thanks to you and your family,

Back for the fourth time, we had a wonderful fortnight in
October from the moment that John was waiting for us at the
arrivals in Paphos airport with the adapted minibus to the time
that Andrew took us back to Paphos airport in the other minivan.
Paphos arrivals is great for the disabled as pressing a button
on the pavement calls a disabled assistance guide who takes one
all the way through the usual bureaucracy. I made good use of
the new seat to take me into the sea at Laski (twice) until they
took it down to prevent harm from the winter storms. But the
heated pool behind the apartment was a good second best.
I'm sure you will be back.

Het was zeer fijn om jullie na
5 lange jaren nog eens terug te zien, het voelde aan als
thuiskomen.
We hebben ons de koning ter rijk gevoeld en aan bijna
iedere wens van ons werd gevolg gegeven. Ook toen we een
wagen wilde huren werd dit voor ons in orde gebracht.
Chris we willen jou in de eerste plaats bedanken voor de
fijne ontvangst en dat je ons met raad en daad geholpen
hebt. Het lachen stond ons steeds op het gezicht als we
je tegenkwamen.
Nitsa en Eva bedankt
voor het ontbijt en het diner, die rijkelijk en lekker
waren. Ja, ja… we hebben het gezien aan de weegschaal
toen we thuiskwamen.
Carola
en Andrew bedankt dat jullie ons steeds het lachen
brachten. Aan Comar en VJ die dag op dag maakten dat
alles netjes was.
Ook een bedankje aan Chris (man van Nitsa) die meermaals
onze reddende engel was, aan Dimitri die leven in de
brouwerij bracht.
Aan lieve Andreas die maakte dat onze taxi’s van en naar
de luchthaven goed geregeld waren. Ook bedankt aan alle
gasten die er ook waren tijdens ons verblijf, het was
een waar genoegen jullie te leren kennen en het heeft
ons verblijf in C&A apts nog aangenamer gemaakt.

Hi
Chris,
It was our first time that we arranged everything by our
self's.With a little help from you, it was a piece of
cake.
The C&A transport from Paphos airport to C&A apts was
perfect. John was waiting for us and he is a good driver
and told us a lot. Because of him the drive of an
hour seem short. And then the scoot mobile (now named
Carla) we hired is good,safe and very fast. Of
course the room,the food and drinks are good.|
But above all the care from the whole family and
staff is lovely.

up at the airport it all went smoothly. There is always
a friendly face to help with the adapted transfers &
that friendship continues throughout. The scooters are
good especially the turbo charged one, but beware you
don't exceed the speed limit! Thanks particularly to

I had given up on the idea of a
holiday where the disabled could actually engage in
activities beyond poolside reading of a book. However,
Chris has worked hard to campaign for accessibility in
the village, which now boasts dropped kerbs and access
to most bars, shops and restaurants. This is also true
of the fishing village of Latchi further down, where sea
swimming can be enjoyed via the seascape along with
specially organized boat drops into the Mediterranean
and water sports.
The resort is fully accessible with a pool hoist and a
range of equipment to hire, which made my holiday a
wonderful and safe experience. There is also the fine
family cooking and warm welcome.
The C & A holiday proves life needn’t be compromised
because of disability – whatever you want, ask Chris,
and if it’s just the quiet life with a good book –
there’s that too. Until next time . . .

Certains d'entre nous reviendront séjourner chez vous à

Yet another wonderful, relaxing week with
our friends. This year I came with a carer for the
first time in 8 years and she was welcomed in to the C &
A family immediately. After a long journey it was nice
to get a warm welcome from John at the airport and he
got us on our way to Polis, in the adapted van, in
record time. It was lovely to see you all again and to
be in Polis and to spend lots of time with our good
friends Mike and Elaine and Dan and Alex. We had a
lovely dinner watching the sunset at the beach and
stuffed ourselves full with Eva and Nitsa’s delicious
food at the BBQ. We also witnessed the opening of the
fantastic new beach seat which allows access directly in
to the sea. I hope to try it next time! Thanks again
for the most brilliant holiday and see you all next
year!

Thanks to you and your family we had another fantastic
holiday.
I was very impressed with the latest addition to the
adapted taxi fleet. The air-conditioning was most
welcome and the seating was user friendly as it made it
easy for me to transfer from a wheelchair. Also as we
later discovered on the trip to the Bird & Animal Park
it was also easy to get from the scooter on to a seat as
well. If you remember of that day we had 2 scooters + 1
collapsible scooter plus 5 passengers with plenty of
room.
It was so nice to be met at Paphos by John and Dimitri.
Our return taxi ride was more like a family outing with
you dad, Dimitri and Andrew as escorts.
The scooter that I hired was very reliable but I do have
one criticism, it didn’t have Satnav to assist in
getting back from The Square after watching the
football. My wheelchair was nice and clean and in
extremely good condition and, importantly, has a
comfortable cushion.
I did enjoy the experience of trying out one of the new
scooters but would suggest that you install rear
diffusers to assist with grip when cornering on full
power. All in all it wasn’t like a holiday, more like
visiting old friends, we can’t thank you enough.
These comments are not just for publicity purposes but
are truly meant.
Counting down to our return date next September.
Love from Loraine & Robbie

For the third year we have had a wonderfully relaxing
holiday at your apartments in Polis-fantastic
weather,practical accomodation for the less able bodied
and friendly, personal service from your whole family.
The holiday always starts well with your adapted taxi
welcoming us at the airport, a cool drink on arrival at
the C&A and suddenly grey,gloomy England slowly sinks
into the background. The rented electric wheelchair
worked well and even Judy rented a scooter for the
picturesque journey to Latchi-she's still talking about
the lobster fettucine from Molos restaurant! All in all
a lovely holiday-you should all be proud of the service

Wow, what a magical time we had at you apartments!
This could not be described simply as a holiday. The
family, atmosphere and enabling accommodation made
our week a real eye - opening experience. I left feeling
part of your large and lovely family . . . I really did
not want to leave!
This place is an inspiration and I believe everyone
should experience it. It has given all of us the
confidence and drive to live life to the fullest.
The boat trip was amazing and I wish we had been their
long enough to join in on some of the other excursions
on offer. The family were incredibly attentive and
genuine, they leave guests wanting and worrying for
nothing. The home cooked food was delicious and
definately beat anything else on offer in terms of
quality and price. Not to mention the communal
atmosphere and spirit of dinner time.
Going away can often be stressful and worrying for
people with extra requirements and their family /
carer's. The family at C & A appreciate this and do
everything in their power to make the stay enjoyable and
stress - free. Highly recommended.
I miss you all already and look forward to coming back
to see you in the future.

apartment was ideally suited to our needs, as was the
equipment we hired. Polis is a lovely little town which
we enjoyed exploring and the boat trip along the coast
to the Blue Lagoon was wonderful. The high temperature
and glorious sunshine ensured we didn't try to do too
much each day so we came home feeling well rested. I

For us helpers, it's the best of gifts they can

Eindelijk weer eens een vakantie die
ontspanning en plezier brengt.
My brother and his wife have seen pretty much of the
globe, and although he lifted me every day to bed,
pool, sea or across the threshold, his experience
was better then good. With my spinel-cord injury he
didn’t allow me to use the lift. For me that was the
best. I’ve never swam that much before. And then
those dinners from the house. And he is the chef.
C&A app. stands for a good organized and very cozy
family atmosphere. Dear Eva, I admire your energy
and the easy way to fall asleep (during a late
night-small-talk). Nitsa, you multi functional love
of my life. Together with Andreas, Dimitry and
Verulla you’re be able to give guests that special
feeling they were looking for but never found. The
apartment is clean and although its easy to ruin the
room with a wheelchair its looks new and
comfortable.
Lovely family, this is such a place you want to go

met in Paphos. i remember a wheelchair posse in Paphos,
and being taken home to meet Mandana and baby Sarah. We
were invited then to come to Polis and meet your family.
we came and had Sunday lunch, and stayed for 3 days. i
instantly fell in love with you and your wonderful
family, and have treasured that initial experience for
these many years.
As you know., Jess initiated this return to Polis. I
think she has always been inspired by YOUR strength and
your dignity . Jess has never struggled with her
Deafness, but often struggled with her physical
disability. you are a wonderful role model for her,
and i thank you for that.
what you have achieved is just so wonderful Chris.
The AWARENESS of disability in Polis is just
incredible. not just the ramp into the sea..or even
the Boat trip that gets disabled people INTO THE
water...just the general AWARENESS of needs and
desires......you have totally changed people's thinking
one thing that REALLY struck me this time was the needs
of children. there were a whole bunch of kids there
who have parents who are disabled...and y know..that
DOES make them different...but in that pool, and around
that pool, they all had something in common, and could
talk about that and be ok about it! i ADORE your mother, we connected instantly, and she
will always be a special person in my life.
on this visit i feel that i got to know Nitsa and
Charoulla a bit more, and they arte just BRILLIANT
women, i also got to know your dad a bit better. he is
just awesome! such wisdom..... and totally naughty!
Chris..thank you so much for being part of my life. i
love you and respect you beyond words.

Lieber Chris,
wir hatten die besten Urlaubstage überhaupt. Die
Apartmentanlage war super und wirklich komplett
rollstuhlgängig. Das Apartment war geräumig und
blitzsauber, prima!
Natürlich haben wir auch den Barbeque-Abend mit den
tollen Leckereien genossen. Doch der Hit war für mich
natürlich der Bootsausflug mit Captain Mike. Endlich mal
wieder im Meer schwimmen, einfach genial. Kein Wunder,
dass ich den Ausflug gleich zweimal gemacht habe. Zudem
ist der Preis für den Trip mit 20 € mehr als fair.
Wir planen jetzt bereits unseren nächsten Aufenthalt bei
Euch. Nur diesmal länger.
Beste Grüße aus Berlin

Hi Chris,
we would like to thank you for a wonderful vacation in
Cyprus. We really enjoyed our stay at your hotel. We
felt welcomed by your whole family and integrated from
the start. There was an immediate contact with all the
other guests at your hotel which we have never before
experienced. Also, we would like to praise Eva’s and
Nitsa’s cooking. Usually I am not really fond of greek
cooking but in this case it was great! Even our food
allergies were not a problem, thanks to both of them
The whole staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Just
a little remark from our side and everything was taken
care of right away! The whole complex was ideal for
wheelchairs, especially the pool with the lift was
great.
The boakt tour with the swim in the ocean which I have
not been able to do in years was delightful. |
But the highlight of the vacation was your solar powered
ramp into the ocean. Unbelievable! Finally being able to
go into the ocean without any help! Where else can you
find something like that – only at Chris’.
We hope that this was not our last visit to Cyprus and
we are able to come visit you again soon
We thank you for everything and wish you all the best
for the future – especially good heath!

Dear
Chris and family,
Since it
was our first trip to Cyprus, I was just a little
afraid. But as soon as we arrived at C&A we were
touched by your kindness. The way you treated us
made us feel at home. We had a relaxing holiday, but
we also went for long walks along the seaside. How
beautiful it was to find along our way flowers,
orange and lemon trees. And for me it was a pleasant
surprise to find access ramps everywhere.
We made
a very exciting boat trip having the chance of
seeing the crystalclear water near the cliffs at
Akamas; we visited the very picturesque mosaics in
Pafos, and we relaxed by visiting the village museum
in Polis. Besides it was very pleasant to have a
romantic dinner with my boyfriend at the restaurant
that Chris suggested us.
It was
very enjoyable to find out that we're the first
italian guests at C&A. In order to "celebrate" this,
it was very amusing to prepare with Eva "spaghetti
alla Carbonara"!!
We
appreciated very much the fabulous food cooked by
Eva, Nitsa and Karola, and the homemade lemonades of
Andreas.
It was
very easy to go to the swimming pool thanks to the
pool hoist. Just a little bothersome were the midges
but of course it doesn't depend on you.
So, we
spent a very pleasant holiday at C&A and we want to
thank you so much for all your warm hospitality and
friendship.
With
love,
Elena &

We chose C&A Apartments after finding your website.
It seemed to be ideal for our requirements - but in
actual fact it far exceeded our expectations.
From the moment we arrived at Paphos airport and
were met by John we felt the friendliness which only
increased as the holiday progressed.
When we arrived at the apartments we were greeted by
Eva with the offer a very welcome cold drink. The
welcome continued as we met the rest of the family.
From the start other guests introduced themselves
making us feel even more welcome, as if we had been
there forever. Apartment, facilities and "food"
were excellent - food excellent, home cooked and
PLENTIFUL.
Nothing was too much trouble to make the holiday run
smoothly. Absolutely wonderful and if we hadn't
overstretched ourselves financially with other
projects we would have been back again this year.
We were very sorry to have to leave such a welcoming
and friendly place.
I
could certainly say how impressed I was by the speed
at which my changed requirements (electric
scooter)were met.
We will be back as soon as we possibly can, a truly
wonderful place. Jackie and Dave Bartlett.

again as the guys at Latchi were so helpful and kind,
making an impossible experience possible. I will

Dear Chris
and family, We didn’t know what to expect, since it was our first trip
to Cyprus, but the apartment almost became our home. The way
you treated us made us feel part of your lovely family.
Still your hospitality is incredible: you do this to every
single guest you get! We spent a wonderful first week of May
2011 in Polis. The weather was perfect, sometimes even a bit
too hot for Stina who has MS. We had a relaxing holiday, we
slept a lot, but we also went for long walks with the
wheelchair along the seaside. We saw a lot of flowers,
orange trees full of oranges and listened to a lot of birds
all over the village. People outside of your hotel were very
respectful and considerate. We have been travelling quite a lot before, but it has never
been this comfortable to move around with the wheelchair.
Your airport transfer is a big plus, indeed. We must also
thank you for the wonderful meals; your mum and sister are
fabulous cooks We are convinced, after seeing you Chris, that you are
rewarded as well. With your disability you have been able to
help a lot of other handicapped people. Only a person in a
wheelchair can fully understand the real needs of another
similarly disabled person. And we thank you for that!Looking
forward to coming back to your hotel, sooner or later... Stina and Sven (from Finland - living in Belgium)

apartments such a nice time, right from the moment we
arrived you all made us feel welcome and at home. When we
needed any help like with Lorraine and Kristina needing
doctors Eva and Nitsa arranged the appointments immediatly
and even offered to drive us to the surgery. Any member of
the family was happy to discuss our plans for the day advise
routes, parking areas etc and give us their mobile phone
numbers in case of difficulty. Unfortunatly we did not
arrange to have meals at C&A but we did have two barbecues
there and the food was fantastic, Eva and Nitsa are very
good cooks.We found the apartment spacious and perfectly
adapted for Lorraine with her wheelchair, she was relaxed
and now has no fear of travelling back to C&A in the future. We
thought the Polis/Latchi area was lovely and hope to be back

Hi TPA,
This may be
of interest to Treloar's students past and present, last year we
looked around at holidays that might be a little more disabled
friendly, our son Phillip has Muscular Dystrophy and we fancied
somewhere nice and warm, by the sea but also with a pool and a
town nearby for evening excursions to local bars. After a bit of
a search my wife Janet found this place in Polis, Cyprus - C&A
Apartments - Chris & Andreas
http://www.ca-tourist-apts.com.cy/
We were met
at the airport by Andreas who drove us the 45 min trip to the
hotel in one of the hotel's smart minibuses.
From the quiet side road in which it is located I have to say it
looks like any other ordinary small hotel but once you get
inside you find that everything is wheelchair friendly, air
conditioned (you need it...) and pretty much new. The welcome is
even warmer than the Cyprus summer, the hotel was built and is
run by a family but all of the adaptations have been designed
and instigated by Chris who is a wheelchair user himself so
there is NOTHING which has not escaped his attention. The huge
rooms, really apartments as each has it's own kitchen and
wetroom, are mostly brand new, beautifully appointed and in
perfect order with easily accessible surfaces and fully adapted
wetrooms, there is lift access to the upper floor. The hotel has a decent sized pool which is in a lovely courtyard
surrounded by cooling palm trees, it is only 5 foot or so at
it's deepest end but it has a shallow end which is entered by
low steps, the pool has a grab rail all the way around but most
importantly a pool hoist which is simplicity to use although
help is always on hand. There is a shaded bar area adjacent to
the pool and loads of loungers with wheelchair height cushions
so everyone can enjoy the sun. Chris has made sure there is Wi-Fi
available and you only need to ask him or Andreas for anything
and they will do their utmost to get the info. The hotel is just outside the tiny but beautiful town of Polis
which is on the western end of the northwest coast of Cyprus,
this town puts most of our towns to shame with it's facilities.
Every restaurant worth going to (and that's most of them) has
wheelchair access, there are two public disabled toilets in the
town and ramps at every corner but the way the streets are laid
out means that most of the town is on one level with very few
kerbs anyway as it is mostly pedestrianised. It has to be said
that Polis is not full of clubs which blare out dance music, it
is a far more traditional place although still very lively with
tons of character and beautiful buildings, however, nightlife is
not too far away if you want it. The Cypriot roads are very good,
they drive on the correct side of the road! The signs are in
English and most people speak English too. Most of the bars in
the town have large screen TV's where you can watch European
sport including a lot of UK football and rugby!The
sea is about 2km from the hotel, down a very quiet lane, the
hotel has two fully adapted large minibuses with hydraulic ramps
so transport is no problem but they also have a fleet of
mobility scooters which can be hired by the day or week too. We
found these were great fun and gave Phillip a lot of
independence - so much so that we bought one on our return to
the UK. The closest beach is in a eucalyptus grove (smells
divine) there is a ramp access to the sea and a good beach bar
which sells good if simple food freshly cooked. From this bar
there is a specially made coastal path which goes for miles
along to the next town, past many lovely beaches and restaurants.
At the end of the track is the town of Latchi which has some
very good accessible fish restaurants and you can even go on
boat trips from there or go parasailing if you wish.I
won't go on too much as it will sound as if I'm on a commission
(I'm not) but do check the website, click on the photos and
YouTube videos, this is definitely not a grim hotel for the
disabled but it is a great destination where friendly people
help you to have the best holiday possible. All the best,Andy Carroll

Thank You to all at C&A
for yet another fantastic holiday xx
Just had
our fourth trip to Polis and had a
wonderful time. Each time I set out to
the apartments I wonder if the holiday
can be as perfect as last time and find
it is and that I find something new and
exciting there. This year we saw traditional dancing at
Archondariki and had an exhilarating
walk along the beach walkway, when the
wind blew for 12 hours and created a
dazzling display of waves. The spring
flowers were exceptionally profuse this
year and we enjoyed finding orchids in
the hedgerows. We had lovely Danish
neighbours, Pia and Lise and discovered
they knew Faulty Towers and the songs of
Tom Lehrer, so had lots of laughs
together. Eating "in" is always relaxing
and the food stunning and eating out
creates debate as to which of the many
options to pick. Eva has loads of
options for vegetarians and I marvel
that we have found a holiday destination
that is perfect for wheelchair users as
well as veggies. Catching up with family news was good
too. Talking to Chris R about cameras is
always fun, as I too love photography.
Hearing about plans for a family wedding
was interesting (it sounds even more
daunting to organise than in England, as
it seems the entire population is
invited!) Chatting to the three
youngest members of the family is always
fun and Dimitre continues to be up to
the minute with commentary and results -he
manages to enthuse me, even though at
home I have no interest in football.

Jeg må simpelthen anbefale C&A apartments. De annoncerer med
at være handicap venlige - og de holder helt sikkert, hvad de lover!
Vi - en familie på 4 og en hjælper - havde en pragtfuld uge i POLIS
på Cypern. Der er bare adgangsvenligt, supergod atmosfære og en
dejlig familie, der ejer og driver stedet. Chris, som står for
bookingen, har selv siddet i kørestol i små tyve år, så han kender
til at have besværligheder og gør alt for at rådgive, hjælpe og
sprede hygge. Vi havde en skøn lejlighed med god plads og indretning. Vi havde
valgt at leje en elseng og en elkørestol. Det står familien også for!
Der er en lækker swimmingpool , hvor man uden problemer kan komme
ned ved hjælp af en lift stol. Liften er indrettet, så man kan sætte
sejl på, hvis man har brug for det. Ligeledes kan man fornøje sig
med en tur på Middelhavet, med en båd indrettet med adgang for
kørestole og med lift, som blidt sænker dig ned i det azurblå
Middelhav. I det hele taget har man mange steder i byen gjort meget for at
lette adgangen for kørestole. Der er en del steder ramper, og på en
restaurant havde de bordforhøjere, så jeg kunne få kørestolen ind
under bordet. En utrolig venlig befolkning gør det til et super
feriested. Du kan finde det på:

Dear Chris, Thank you very much for this beautiful holidays in Cyprus,
again. During this vacation we were spoiled by your family the
whole time. Your hospitality was so authentic and warm and we
felt so safe in your family. Not to forget the wonderful food, each day was a culinary
surprise! It was like in a five star hotel. Above all the
barbecue was a highlight of the week. The dishes were presented
on a long buffet and we were impressed about the variety of the
food, included with the dessert. We also were very delighted
about the apartment: spacious, clean and tasteful equipped. The Troodos excursion will be unforgettable for us because the
tour gave us the impression that cyprus has not only to offer
sunbeach-holidays on the contrary it also enable to make
holidays in the mountains with a amazing vegetation where you
can go cycling or hiking without risk. The roads are in good
conditions. At this point we like to mention that John drove us
safely through the mountains and Andrea who gave us during the
tour precious information about the different trees , flowers
and herbs. It was very informative. This tour included a visit in Troodors park which constitutes a
protected zoon with mooufflon then we visited the monastery of
Macchario ,after we went up to the mount Olympus which is 1991m
over the sea where you can go down-hill skiing in the
wintertime. And finally we finished this excursion with the
Aphrodite`s birthplace. It`s a absolutely thrilling place. Again , we passed wonderful holidays in Polis and it would be a
pleasure to see you and your family in Switzerland, once.
We look forward to having holiday in Cyprus in the future,
again. Very best wishes from the 4 swiss ladies

Hi Twinkles !!!!
We had such a lovely holiday with you, and I have already
passed your information and brochure onto some friends who
are certainly interested.
You made us feel so welcome when Andreas and John met us off
the plane, Nothing was too much trouble - we only had to
ask and it was done. The equipment and standard of the
accomodation was superb - nothing left to chance. We were
able to go out with a scooter down to the sea or up to the
village very easily. Eva, Chris' mum, cooked some great
food, and most nights there were plenty sat round the tables
enjoying the meal and wine, with plenty of relaxing
conversation!!!!!
This is a wonderful, friendly complex run by a family who
really care and want to make your holiday special. I hope
we shall be able to return next year.

Hi Chris & all the family "This was only our second visit to Polis and the C&A Apartments but
already it feels like home. It was lovely to be welcomed back
by all
the family to this little oasis. We had a thoroughly relaxing
week in
the sun with Chris and his wonderful family. We lazed around
the pool,
pottered around Polis and ambled to Latchi and back a couple of
times. The food was first class and we enjoyed eating outside, both for
breakfast and in the evening, with everyone. It is such a
friendly
atmosphere and nothing is too much trouble. You can relax from
the
minute you are picked up at Paphos airport and for the disabled
every
need is catered for. All that's left to say is see you all
again next
year - we have already booked to go in May 2011!" Gill, Frank, Sue & David

We are honored to have met you and your driver John and his wife, and all of your lovely family. Such helpful, kind and thoughtful lovely people you all are - we will never forget you. Wish you the best and sends regards to all of you. Make sure to tell John that everything is allright here in Denmark .....Take care......

Hi Chris,
Our thanks to you & family for
a truly memorable holiday that exceded our expectations.
Your facilities, for less able visitors, are superb. Well
thought out so that everything is accessible & as comfort
able as possible.
We really appreciated being in
a place where we were treated as part of the family. The
evening meals were delicious & made more enjoyable by the
family atmosphere. The grandchildren really appreciated
having the pool to play in & the freedom to run around &
play.
I shall miss opening the
curtains in the morning & looking out on grapefruit ripening
in the sun. The local area around Polis is very interesting
with citrus fruit trees, pomigranits, almond, wallnut trees
& grape vines. Our thanks to Chris for taking us around the
archeological sites which helped to explain why the area is
so unspoilt by modern over development.
We (husband, wife, daughter,2
grandchildren & mother inlaw) enjoyed visiting the beach at
Polis & Latci. Such a lovely location & the local people we
met were all very friendly & helpful. Local restrants not
only serve excellent food but are very helpful to wheelchair
users.
Hope to see you again next
year.
(Hope Liverpool manage to stay up!)

Dear
Chris and the Neophytou family and C&A staff, We had an absolutely wonderful vacation at C&A Apartments.
We visited C&A after 3 sudden life threatening strokes 1.5
years ago. Following the medical complications, physical
rehabilitation, bureaucracy and much stress, it was a
welcome reprieve to be able to get away from it all and
relax at C&A.
We can’t say how important it
was for us to be able to go to a safe place where we still
had our independence and freedom and that was not “medicalised”.
Previously we were always independent travellers, and it was
so nice to be able to return to that. Being new to disabled
travelling it was a big reassurance that the general
assistance at Paphos airport was good and it was so nice to
have John and Lorraine from C&A waiting for us outside the
door. We had an easy ride to C&A and were warmly welcomed by
Chris Neophytou and the whole Neophytou family and C&A
staff. Everything in the way of accommodation that is important to
the disabled traveller was provided for. Our 1 bedroom
apartment was spacious, clean and well adapted for our
needs. It’s the first time that we had a place that was as
well accommodated as our own home and we were very grateful
for all the thought that has gone into it. We enjoyed that
we could stay in the room or on the balcony when we wanted a
bit of quiet time and could make our own coffee and lunches
without having to leave the apartment. It was also nice that
there was air conditioning, as it allowed us to sleep in a
bit later sometimes. The pool and environment are perfect. It was the first time
being able to use a pool and the hoist worked great to get
in/out of the pool. We liked that we could do it on our own
and did not need to organise with others. It was also nice
to know that there were other friendly people and the staff
around to lend a hand if needed, and the camaraderie with
the other guests was fun in the pool. We bought one of the
Spring Float recliners that Chris sells for in the pool and
it really helped to be able to safely relax and float
around. The meals from Eva and Nitsa’s kitchen were extraordinary.
We had originally planned on eating out many of the nights,
but were sold on the fresh Mediterranean cuisine after the
first night. They also work hard to cater to specific
dietary needs, in my case pescatarian (seafood), and they
had nice selections of everything and served it with gusto.
The desserts were always special and we could not get enough
of them. Breakfast was also a real hit, and we loved the
fresh baked croissants and other goodies. We also enjoyed
the community dining with other guests we could have easy
conversation with. So often on vacation people never talk
with each other, and it was nice to be able to make friends
at the dining table almost instantly.
We rented an electric scooter
which was really good for getting around. It was the first
time with a scooter and it worked perfectly. We enjoyed
going to the beach and taking the path to Latchi and ambling
around Polis. We had originally asked for a bed lever, but
after seeing how accessible the rooms and bed were, we found
it was not needed. It was reassuring to know that equipment
was available if needed. We did not take any excursions or
the boat trip, but that is only because we were really tired
and our only goal was to relax and not do a lot of sight
seeing. From what we heard from others who did excursions,
they do them well, for those wishing to get out and about a
bit more than we did. We really liked that Polis is not too touristic, but has
enough there in the way of café’s and restaurants to keep us
occupied. We especially enjoyed the food and hospitality at
Moustakallis restaurant who really made efforts to
accommodate our needs. In general, we found all of the
Cypriot’s that we met very friendly and helpful and we felt
welcome in their country. Overall, we can’t speak highly enough about C&A and all of
the efforts made by Chris and the Neophytou family and C&A
staff. We heard about C&A from friends of ours who had
visited, and are already making plans to all go together
next year! Feel
free to give others our contact information and take a look
at our blog about our visit:

Hi Chris! I and my mother spent a wonderful week at your truly familiar hotel.
We fully enjoyed many of the things you offered. My mother swam in
the pool, which she hasn't done for several years!
The cooking was outstanding with homemade lemonade for breakfast,
and many good deserts at dinner. The afternoon coffebreak by the
pool was much appreciated with a homemade cake. I would love to come
back, since it was as much holiday for me as for my mother! All best wishes, Inger and Kristina

Dear Chris,
Just to say a big thank you to you and your
wonderful family for being so fantastic to us on our first
visit to Cyprus, from the moment we were picked up from the
Airport to when we were leaving two weeks later we were
looked after magnificently.
The accommodation was first class with
everything just right for my wheelchair also the table and
the beds were just the right height for the wheelchair and
transferring, the bathroom had everything that we needed and
more and everywhere was spotless.
The food was all home cooked and the
flavoured were delicious and as it was a buffet you could
just help yourself and there was plenty of variety after two
weeks of Eva and Nitsa's cooking bigger pants were needed.
The tour to the mountains with Andreas and
John was a treat Andreas showed us the Almond trees,the fig
trees followed by pomegranate and orange trees shoed us all
the sights,he made the day come alive for us with his
fantastic knowledge and his sense of humour.We had a great
day in Pathos with Charoulla who took us to the Market and
then the Harbour it was great just being lifted in your
scooter into the special Taxi without being disturbed.
We met lots of smashing people and at dinner
we all had a laugh and felt really relaxed we used to go up
the Square to people watch and see the football.
It was great meeting you Chris we felt as if
we had known you for years with your great sense of humour
and the way you are always thinking of ways to please your
guests.
But most of all it is the special family of
Chris Andreas Eva,Nitsa,Charoulla that makes the C&A
apartments so special
not forgetting the rest of the family and
John Lorraine, Kumar Vegee
See you all in September 2011

Bbrrrr! The heating is racked right up now we are back in
chilly England. Chris, what can I say, C&A was a real haven, a place to
return to see your wonderful Family again and to meet up
with special friends we had made the yearbefore, and meet
new ones.! Andreas,
Eva,
Nitsa,
Charoula,
Dimitri of course, John, Lorraine Kumar and VJ. Of course as disabled travelers are aware the holiday starts
with the Airport Transfer We'd been delayed 4 hrs ( but no
problem, there was the NEW Driver
John, as soon as we left the airport Arrivals. Fabulous!!
Hey you've got a real gem there with John, Polite reassuring
confident and very professional, oh and great company.
We soon got settled in for a nights rest, The holiday was
primarily for me ( as carer of David my husband, and my Parents)
What a wonderland to recharge my batteries and relax
totally,You even sorted the weather, wow hot and sunny, just how we like it! To meet up with everyone at Eva's scrumptious dinners was a
delight. To share
Dimitri's teenage birthday meal with all your family and our
friends was very special. The real highlight for me was to see Dave in the heated pool,
bobbing around on the special float he was able to try
out.(much to the amusement and applause from all around the
pool) The sun beds were well used by me, early morning at
times!(for reasons well known by many, enough said!)but not
hung over I wish to state! Chris John and Lorraine, thanks for very special evenings we
spent with you.
Very memorable. We took advantage of the beach bar, the lovely walkway to
Lattchi (an eventful
funny swim in the sea for me !)and our friends Dawn, Pete
and Lorraine, I,ve never laughed so much for ages,
we laughed and joked a lot at your fab C&A Apartments, to
which we are returning next year, a sign of a great holiday. So see you all in 2011

Thanks to Chris and his family I have achieved my
ambition of a holiday abroad. This really is the place
to come if you have never had the courage to travel
because of your disability. I have nothing but praise
from the first moment of being greeted at the airport by
Andreas and Dimitris (Chris's Papa and nephew) and given
a cooling glass of Andreas' homemade lemonade. (One
glass and you are hooked). The most wonderful
traditional food prepared and served by Evanthia, Nitsa
and Charoulla (Chris's mama and sisters) by the way the
Afelia and Tzatziki dishes are out of this world. Of
course not forgetting John and Lorraine who handle
transport and so much more and brothers Kumer and VJ for
all their hard work in the background. I loved swimming
in the pool (swimming on my own for the first time) and
relaxing on your raised sun loungers, the trip on the
boat and wheeling along the beach to Latchi, and the fun
night at Archontariki. It was all outstanding.
You made this a holiday a week I will never forget. I
will certainly be back and next time I will try the
parasailing. Thank you for making it possible for me to
forget I was disabled. Love to you all and see you soon Ann Page from Chichester, England

Hi Chris
It's very difficult to be original with our comments as
everyone seems to feel the same about C & A.
We had a fantastic holiday with the family that we didn't
know we had in Cyprus. Everything was just so good, where
else does the Managing Director (Andreas) and his wonderful
family come and eat with you and tell you such wonderful
stories.
The trip to the mountains will never be forgotten with our
excellent driver (John) ably assisted by the Scrumper in
Chief (Andreas) with his local knowledge. We had great
companions that day and I think it's safe to say that we all
had a brilliant day.
Can't wait to come back next year.

Hi Chris Just to say thank you for the hospitality shown to both myself
and Paul in July 2010. We had tried to book a holiday with
larger holiday companies but could'nt get any guarantee of an
adapted room. When I found your web site it looked too good to
be true and so only booked for a week. In hindsight we should
have booked for longer as what we saw on the web site was what
we got. Lovely people, great adapted room, good food (too much)
and all the help we needed with scooters, days out, etc. We had
a lovely relaxing holiday. As there was everything we needed
for Paul, it made it more of a holiday for me too. The friendly
atmosphere in the apartments was great, everyone helped each
other. We really enjoyed the Greek Night as well. Once again
thank you and we hope to see you again in the near future. Love from Elaine & Paul

Chris and
all at C & A thank you all so much. In a wheelchair, a holiday in Cyprus for my sixtieth birthday at
C & A
Tourist Apartments
in Polis was my dream. Imagine my delight when all of my nine
children said they also would like to come. We had 14 wonderful
days which I will always treasure. The complex is
completely wheelchair friendly. The outdoor pool
has a
pool hoist surrounded by
raised sunbeds. All 19
units which include studios, one bedroom, two bedroom, three
bedroom apartments have level
access roll in shower rooms,
drop down rails on either side of toilet. Airport
transfers and excursions are available on-site
accessible vehicles.
Vehicles are fitted with
RICON tail lift and safety clamps. Air-con
and central heating also available. Tuesday 13th
July was my birthday and the pampering started with me relaxing
to tea and croissants on the terrace with my daughter Grainne at
8 o clock in the morning. Then we came down to a beautiful
breakfast in the dining room. First I wondered why we were
inside and thought maybe it was too hot to go outside. Well when
a Power Point presentation started up I viewed flashes of my
past before my eyes. It was great and such a surprise. It was
such a reflection where did I get the time to do all. The whole
day continued with my nails, face, massage, hair do and lets not
forget the seventies music – Johnny Logan’s “Whats another Year”
We all gathered around to the pool area for the special barbecue.
A special moment when all the lights went dim and the girls came
out with the cake singing Happy Birthday. The photographs are so
exclusive for this occasion and taken in such a wonderful place.
That night we went to the beach via the beach walkway/
wheelchair pass and lit lanterns. It was such fun getting them
in orbit and watch till the last speck of light extinguished.
And as I was watching there goes a shooting star. I said to
myself everything is spot on. I took the glass bottom boat trip to the Blue Lagoon and went
para-sailing in Latchi. Now I can boast of swimming in the
Mediterranean. My sincere thanks to Chris, Eva and Andreas,
Nellie, Nine and Helene, Cuma and Fidi and not forgetting
Demetri for his good humour. Kathleen O Connor and Family

What a wonderful week we had at your

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

Hi Chris Sorry for the delay in replying -- various computer problems, in fact my
voice recognition software still isn’t working brilliantly so be
prepared for some odd phrasing. We had a good journey home with no
delays. We have been telling everyone what a brilliant holiday it was.
It was so relaxing and because Steve could see I was a well catered for
he could relax too. Since we've been back I have missed my dips in the
pool. One of the highlights of the holiday I think was the boat trip and
the hoist that meant I could go in with the med It was great to be met at the airport by the accessible taxi and how
things are around really to confer worry out of go into places. It was
also good to hire a power chair and the fact you may need a real effort
to make sure it was suitable was great. Before I came I was worried that
I'd be stuck with an unsuitable chair. That wasn't the case at all and
everybody was so friendly and helpful. The accommodation was good and
spacious and the meals we had were great. In fact I'm finding it

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!

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. Lots of love Kevin, Kelly and crew

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 Chantelle and Maya

Hi Chris/Nitsa, we need to thank
you once again for yet anther wonderful holiday. As usual
everything went smoothly with the airport transfers, Andreas as
dependable as ever.....along with the usual commentary......this
year we moved on from olives, lemons e.t.c. to capers and snakes !
he'll make Cypriots of us yet. Kumer went to
great lengths to ensure the "electric" wheelchair was comfortable
and the portable hoist ensured bathroom tasks, in & out of bed
e.t.c. were carried out with the same ease as in our own home. The boat trip was
a great day out, I dont think I've seen as many wheelchairs/disabled
on the boat before and they all thoroughly enjoyed their dip in the
warm sea water. Although Steve
did not get to do his parascending this time he has been telling the
tale ( over & over & over.... ) about his hair cut and shave with
the cut throat razor ! also his massage is high on his list of good
memories. As usual we met
some old friends and made quite a few new ones. These friendships
are easily formed over dinner where the food served by Eva, Nitsa &
Charoulla is quite simply "the best". thank you
again.....from your friends in the frozen north Wayne, Linda &
Stephen.

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 I hope we will
be able to come there again soon.
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

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

Dear Chris and
the family,
We
needed indeed a few days to kick-off after our return to Belgium.
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,
Anne,Rita and

we were with you. It wasn't long enough, so next year we are going
to visit you for 10 or 14 days! And we can't wait to return! We hope
that you are all keeping well.
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.

Hi Chris
Our stay at the C&A Apartments in Polis the first week in May was
our first visit to Cyprus and certainly won't be the last, in fact
we have already booked to return in October. Everything was perfect
from Andreas picking us up at Paphos airport when we arrived, Eva
making us a cup of tea in the apartment even though it was very late
in the evening and the wonderful hospitality of the whole family all
week, not to mention the warm sunny days. The studio apartment was
very comfortable with plenty of room and opened out onto the pool
area. We went on various excursions with Andreas who is a mine of
information and the perfect guide returning to a wonderful cooked
meal by Eva and Nitsa. On the odd occasions we relaxed we swam in
the pool which was lovely and warm. The holiday can be as hectic or
relaxing as you make it. Nothing is too much trouble for the family
and it was lovely to all mix together for meals. Now about the
"main man" - Chris, he was always on hand to give advice and joined
in a lot of the activities, always smiling with a wicked sense of
humour. We can't wait for October."
Hope this is ok - could have gone on and on!

Hi Chris,
sorry
its taken a while to get back to you but been busy since I got
back.....you've got to be busy to keep warm !!
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 !

Hi Chris and your Lovely Family This is just to thank you to a wonderful family for providing me
with a lovely and safe holiday in Polis (May 2010). As I was on my
own I was, of course, more than a little nervous about my first trip
to Cyprus. I need not have worried as everything was organised to
make my holiday seamlessly enjoyable. I was met at the airport by Andreas. He didn't complain about the 2
hour delay or the fact that it was almost midnight and my electric
wheelchair now only turned in circles. Eva and her daughter Nitsa produced the most amazing home cooked
meals, but more importantly made me feel totally at home and part of
the family. I spent many relaxing hours floating in the large, beautifully
warm, heated swimming pool accessed by a hoist, followed by lazing
on the raised sunbeds just metres away from the ice creams. I took
advantage of all excursions and activities on offer including a trip
to Paphos Market and Harbour, a boat ride, a local Greek Night and a
trip to the mountains. Everyone I me at the complex was friendly and included me, so I
never felt lonely. I am sure I have made some lasting friends. Like
most of the visitors, I booked a further holiday and I really can't
wait to return in September. Highly recommended for all. Well done Chris & co. Thanks again Jacqui Veazey (Brighton, East Sussex, UK)

Hi Chris, Eva, Nitsa, Andreas and the rest of your lovely
family.
Just wish to say what a wonderful time we had yet again at C & A.
The big WOW factor for us was the heated swimming pool......what an
absolute godsend. Any person with aches and pains or a low
tolerance to the cooler temperatures will relish in the heated
pool....it was unbelievable, like having a bath without the bubbles
!!! Andreas, a great big thanks to you...the tour you took our party of
9 on was amazing. The market in Paphos, the harbour/marina, sea
caves, coral bay, banana plantations etc....all things we could
never have possibly seen without your experience in taking guests to
places of interest on your Island. It was a truly wonderful
experience. Your knowledge of Flora and Fauna has no bounds......a
truly magnificant day out. Thank you so very much. You have the
patience of a saint, you are so caring and thoughtful, nothing is
too much trouble, especially loading and off loading my hubby Pete
in his wheelchair. We are all eternally greatful to you. Eva, Nitsa and Charoulla.....what can we say. As ever the food in
the restaurent was truly devine. So much hard work and preparation
which is a team effort by all of you. All fresh ingredients,
prepared and cooked in your own restaurent. The BBQ night(thanks to
Andreas for his part ), and the Sri Lankan night were amazing.
Every one of your guests left with a full tummy and a very big
smile. Well done to you all. Chris...what can we say, thats never been said.....in our eyes,
there are 2 'gods'....you being the second. You never cease to
amaze us. So much thought and consideration is put into every
single thing you do to ensure that all your guests feel special.
What you have achieved regardless of your own limitations and
disability is truly honourable. Well done, you Its been a pleasure spending time with you and your wonderful
family. Our love to you all, Sara, Mandana and especially Kumar. Dawn, Pete and gang x

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.

Hei Chris ja koko
perhe
Olimme luonanne pääsiäisen vietossa 2010. Meitä oli lentokentällä vastassa Teidän oma invataksi ja oli ihanaa
huomata kuinka sydämellisesti meidät toivotettiin tervetulleiksi. Niin alkoi lomamme, vaikkakin Inna ja minä olimme työmatkalla
pyörätuolia käyttävän istuvan Kallen avustajina. Hotellinne on aivan ihana ja liikunta rajoitteiselle ja pyörätuolia
käyttävälle henkilölle todella toimiva paikka.
Ruoka oli erinomaista ja monipuolista. Ja jälkiruokina aina jotain
ihanaa Cyproslaista herkkua. Palvelu oli loistavaa ja kärsivällisyyttä riitti, vaikka meidän
hieman huonolla englanninkielellä juttelusta ei meinannu aina saada
selvää. ;) Yhtenä päivänä kävimme kiertoajelulla ja pääsimme katsomaan Pafoksen
shoppailu paikkoja ja hyviä ruokailu paikkoja. Samalla meitä
ajelutettiin meren rannalla, jossa näimme mitä mahtavampia maisemia. Viikko kului nopeasti ja kotiinlähtö alkoi hieman haikeissa
merkeissä. Kiva palata kotiin, mutta jo viikossa saimme Teistä
ystäviä joiden luokse on kiva joskus tulla uudelleen. Luonanne oloa voisi enemmänkin sanoa "kylässä" käynniksi, kuin
hotelli lomaksi. Teidän ystävällisyys ja palvelu jäi lämmöllä mieliimme. Hyvällä mielellä voin suositella paikkaanne muillekin. Hyvää kesää Teille kaikille ja kesä on tulossa Suomeenkin..Tosin
appeliinit eivät täällä kasva kotimme pihoissa, edes kesällä. Ystävällisin terveisin Sirpa, Inna ja Kalle Lahdesta

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.

of home in Cyprus. We would like to personally thank you Chris for
being a very pleasent, helpful and approachable host, who went out

Liebe Familie Neophytou, nachdem wir zwei wundervolle Ferienwochen in eurer Apartmentanlage
verbringen durften und wieder zurück in Deutschland sind, denken wir
noch sehr gerne an diese schöne Zeit zurück. Da wir bereits seit
vielen Jahren hier Gast sein durften, war es für uns dennoch eine
Premiere, denn wir hatten ein Apartment in dem neu erbauten Gebäude.
Hier sei erwähnt, dass ein ansprechendes Ambiente und die mit viel
Liebe eingerichteten Studios den Gästen einen angenehmen Aufenthalt
versprechen.Die Anlage ist nicht nur für behinderte Menschen
ausgerichtet, sondern bietet Familien und Alleinreisenden einen
erholsamen Aufenthalt. Besonders angetan waren wir vom neuen Service
: Frühstück und Abendessen im Hause. Der Dank geht hier an Eva und
Nitza, die die Gäste und uns mit ihren zypriotischen Speisen
verwöhnen und täglich abwechselungsreiche und schmackhafte
Mahlzeiten anbieten. Auch Andrew sei nicht vergessen, der beim
wöchentlichen Barbecue, der Chef am Grill ist und fantastische
Grillspezilitäten zubereitet. Unser Dank geht auch an Chris, der
stets ein offenes Ohr für die Gäste hat und sich stets um deren
Wohlbefinden bemüht. Zu guter letzt möchten wir uns auch bei
Charoulla und Andrew jun. bedanken, die in excellenter Weise den
Service übernommen haben. Somit können wir allen interessierten
Urlauber nur die Empfehlung geben, dass ein Aufenthalt bei C & A
stets abseits vom Pauschaltourismus allen individuellen Wünschen gerecht wird. Man kommt als Gast und geht als Freund. Danke an alle Dorothea,Pia,Nadine und Thomas

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. We loved the way guests were invited to make a dish for a meal and
Nadine's (German) cheescake was memorable. Other highlights were
helping to prepare Mosphylo ( a fruit we've never seen before) to
make the fruit jelly for breakfast toast. Andreas is a fund of
knowledge about gathering wild fruit/mushrooms etc and Nitsa's
Demetri
is a big Liverpool fan. We had the pleasure of seeing him dancing
for joy when his team beat Man United , after a run of being beaten.
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.

Hi Chris, and all
the Family, Well it's been wet and cold here lately and the heating is getting
cranked up to prevent frostbite. What a fab holiday we had.
Troublefree transfers from and to the Airport was a fabulous start
to our holiday. What a dream !!!We arrived very late at night and we received such
a lovely welcome from the family, the Studio Apartment was well set
out. When it was made known to you that Dave was struggling a tad
to manouvre into bed, it was sorted pronto. Hey presto shorter legs
put on ( the Bed. not Dave !!) What a lovely welcoming family atmosphere you have provided, the
food and eating with friends and family make for a very happy
holiday memory. We really did enjoy the walk to the Beach and Latchi ( both "our"
long scenic and the direct route). The hard fought campaign for
wheelchair accessibility was well worth it Chris. We know there is
more to come. We have made many friends and keep in touch by e-mail. We hope to return in the near future, will let people here know of
the fantastic facilities you have there in sunny Cyprus, which you
deliver with love, care and a smile. Lots of love Sue and Dave xx

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. With meals from Eva and Nitsa our weight increased a few pounds, so
now on a diet. In this we thank you all for your efforts and
hospitality.

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!

Hello Chris,
It is sadly
very hard to believe that it is already almost a fortnight since we
returned from our holiday with you in Cyprus. We are just about
ready for another one! We very much enjoyed our stay with you again. The different room
made a great difference to our stay and we thought you had done a
very good job on the new accommodation and the way in which it
blends in with what was already existing. We enjoyed having our
breakfast outside although it is not quite the same as having it
freshly cooked by the pool.~ The extra meal availability, especially on the day of our arrival
was most welcome and as ever the barbecue night was enjoyable and
the food delicious. It was enjoyable for us to go for our walks in
the sunshine but it was always a great relief to Brian to return to
the air-conditioned room! It is amazing what a difference a couple
of hours rest in an air-conditioned room has on the M. S. symptoms. Our transfers to and from Paphos airport went very smoothly thanks
to Andreas and Karoula. Please convey to them our thanks for this
and especially for the interesting chat with Karoula on our return
journey. Many thanks to you all... Eva, Nitsa, Karoula, Andreas and of course
to you Chris. We look forward to having holiday with you again in the future.
Very
best wishes from us both, Brian
and Andrew

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.

Hi dear Chris &
all the Family !!! Once again I would like to thank you all for making our stay
there very pleasant and it truely felt like I was visiting family. I
am very impressed by the whole setup and can't tell enough people
how wonderful it is especially for disabled people, I almost wish I
had enough money to start something like that somewhere myself. I
think the most rewarding thing was that I heard that ALL the
visitors that were there at the same time as we were made such
positive comments and that they had returned there or will be
returning there again. You all work so hard that you deserve the
rewards of your labour. Best of all is that I have made new friends
and hope to come and visit you all again. Jacqui

"Sadly, in this

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

will return, we definitely will. Thank you all so much for a

Hello Chris Just to say sorry we left too early to say goodbye and thank you
once again for making our holiday one to remember. We have seen our
photo on your website and one of me being lowered in the hoist from
the boat into the blue lagoon - what a wonderful experience - I am
very serious when I said I wanted to try the para-sailing as the
weather did not permit me this time I am hoping that next year I
will be able - so would you please check for us to see if we can
book the pool facing studio, no 7, from next year 29th June for two
weeks or as near to this date as possible. Steve said would you
thank your Dad for the olive oil he cannot stop talking to everyone
about the best tasting olives in the world and the best olive oil
Andreas makes from them - he will be a good sales rep if you need
one - he hopes he can have more sent to him when it runs out. We
will be going out tomorrow to buy the neck pillars you wanted - we
will not forget - when we buy them we will of course send them
straight to you. Thanks again for making us feel we have had a well
earned rest, relax and wonderful holiday. Please confirm dates
asap regards Dianne & Steve

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.
Greetings to the

You made our whole family feel themselves welcome and you took good

used your transport services and hired a wheelchair. We were
satisfied with those services and we can recommend them to others
also. Transportation was always right on time as agreed. The autumn is on it's way here in finland and it's getting colder.
Soon it will be winter and we'll have snow. Best wishes to everyone from the whole Pernu family.

Hi Chris and the rest of the gang, I've just come back from my 4th wonderful holiday at your apartments
and I'm already planning my next visit! I've never been anywhere
where I feel so at home, completely relaxed and part of a
community. I met lots of great people during my stays. Chris and his family are so accomodating and are always ready to
help with any problem. It came as a great relief this year when
I didn't have enough medication that I could call on Nitsa to help.
Then when my wheelchair broke and I told Chris I had a problem and
he replied 'nothing is a problem' before getting Kumar to fix it for
me (Thanks Kumar!) I think that pretty much sums up C&A
apartments-'nothing is a problem' and it makes for a lovely and
truly relaxing holiday.
I
love it here and I'll definitely be back!!

Hello Chris Sorry for the delay but once you get back the holiday feels like a
long time ago. For someone who did not stay at your fine hotel I can
not express our gratitude enough for the help and attention you gave
to me, Michelle and Adam You certainly made an impression with Adam and even I did not think
he would be man enough to go in the “sharks” cage to enter the
lovely sea from the boat trip. But you made the difference and gave
him the confidence to do it, not just once but we even came back to
do it again. We looked at your rooms and we were very impressed with
detail and it was clear to see what a difference you have made by
being confined to the wheelchair and realising how space and
facilities are so important. Your family and friends were equally as charming as you and we would
happily recommend your accommodation to anyone with or with
disabilities especially in a country where the sun always shines Once again, thanks for all your help and pass my regards to your mum
and dad, sister and the Boss, Demetrious. From Derek, Michelle and a very pleased Adam

fabulous. We will definately be back and I have given a couple of

Hi Chris, Eva,
Andreas, Nellie! I am back
at work and Gearoid and Yvette are back at school, JP has an
extended holiday so he flew to friends in Boston for one month.
Hope you are all well , we can’t tell you enough what a great
holiday we had and how lovely it was to meet you all. This was our first stay at your lovely home and we felt like we were
leaving our family when we came
home.
The
warm welcome and the perfect apartment made this stay with you a
joy. We fell in love with Polis and Latchi, the town square in polis
with all the great restaurants and the harbour at Latchi were
perfect for us. The warm Cypriot sunshine and the friendship offered
without reservation from all of you made this a perfect
holiday
for us.
Myself and Sean Paul loved
the para gliding
and Gearoid and Yvette the speed boat in Latchi and the swim in the
sea off the boat trip.
Cyprus is an amazing country until this it was only a name on the
map to me. The apartment was perfect for me as a wheelchair user
and having the PA come in was perfect and let my family enjoy
themselves also.
This place is
magical. We met some wonderful people of all ages and abilities and
were made to feel safe and welcome and part of your
lovely family. Any one thinking about a holiday in Cyprus choose C &
A Apartments, because believe
me
“Its
not just for wheelchairs” ! The Place is a credit to you all and
I
cannot wait to come back.
Andreas made
the BBQ
and what a special night by the swimming pool.
The meals were great and also our trips – I wont go on except to say
I had my hired scooter which enabled me to go where I wanted myself
and needless to say I set off on the wheelchair path to the sea. It
was breathtaking. Love from Kathleen

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!!

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 ).

have ever been. All of the guests are like one big happy family! The parasailing was amazing - something i never thought i would ever
be able to do, and i enjoyed the boat trips just as much as i did
last time! You all work so hard to keep the guests happy but it never seems
like a chore for any of you. Especially big thanks go to Chris for rescuing us from that spider-
have lost count how many times i have told that story! And next year Nitsa i WILL get the recipe for your chips!!!! Thanks to you all and see you again next year, keep in touch Kirstie and Lian xx

Hi Chris, Eva,
Andreas, Nitsa, Charoulla, computer Chris, Andrew, Kumar Cosi and of
course Dimitri ! Back home a week and missing you all, Alan is back at work and I am
back into it too. Hope you are all well , we can’t tell you enough
what a great holiday we had and how lovely it was to meet you all.
This was our first stay at your lovely home and we both felt like we
were leaving our family when we came back to England. The warm
welcome and the perfect apartment made this stay with you a joy. We
fell in love with Polis and Latchi, the town square in polis with
all the great restaurants and the harbour at Latchi were perfect for
us. The warm Cypriot sunshine and the friendship offered without
reservation from all of you made this a perfect time for us. We have
just about recovered from the para gliding but miss the boat trip
and swimming in the sea every day but it was an amazing experience
for both of us. The apartment was perfect for me(Sue) as a wheelchair user but we
both have to say that anyone would be hard pressed to find a more
comfortable and welcoming place to stay (whether they have a
disabled family member , or none at all). This place is magical. We
met some wonderful people of all ages and abilities and were made to
feel safe and welcome and part of you lovely family. Any one
thinking about a holiday in Cyprus choose C & A Apartments, because
believe us when we say “Its not just for wheelchairs” ! The Place is a credit to you all and we cannot wait to come back.
Hope the BBQ went well we look forward to one next time we visit.
Eva the sandwiches were perfect and you were right about us needing
three. We miss you all and will be back in 2010 but until then ,
expect the odd email and take care Love from Sue and Alan Fairburn

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

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.

excellent hospitality offered by all of your family, they truly make

non-disabled people
-for the very friendly family atmosphere you create all the time.

Hi Chris &

better. The quality of the new apartments far surpassed our
expectations, you guys should be very proud of yourselves. Your
family especially Nitsa couldn’t do more for us and we definitely
feel part of your Cypriot family. The only sad point of the holiday
was that Eva went away for a well deserved holiday so we didn’t get
to see as much of her as we would have liked but all being well
we’ll see you again in September. Sending lots of big Yorkshire hugs and love to all.

Hello Chris, Eva
and Family, I am not sitting in the shade writing this although the weather
isn’t too bad (for England). I have had a few problems with my
computer but its working ok now. Well anyway we had a very pleasant
drive back to pafos and we drove along the old coast road to the air
port and when we got there it was nearly empty, when we checked in.
The flight back to the UK was also very civilized. The plane was
only half full! We eventually got home @ 1am your time Saturday the
2nd Pam and I would like to thank you, very much, for your ‘hospitality’
It was more like staying with friends than a holiday apartment. We
both enjoyed our long discussion with you about Cyprus / South
Africa / Las Vegas and your ‘posh lift’. I hope that we shall be able to come back and see you, all again,
soon Your Mum and Sisters cooking was grate and your Dads Lemonade
‘Fabulous’ and I still think ,if you’re going to install solar
heating, for your pool ,the panels could go on top of bar area which
would save a lot of hassel and maintenance. And you should invest
in your local supermarket or get them to donate all the points from
your guests purchases to a good cause (equipment for RM)well that’s
what I think Happy Friday and we wish you all ‘Good Health Pam / Gwilym

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

Hello Chris, Eva, Andreas, Nitsa, Chris, Charoulla, Mandana, Sara,
Dimitri and everybody else, This is what me and my parents would like to write in your
guestbook: ”We spent an unforgettable week 14 -21 April in Polis, at the caring
and lovely company of Eva, Andreas, Chris and the whole family.
First the weather was like spring, then it turned to beautiful, warm
summer. We enjoyed tremendously the hospitality of the Neophytou
family, making friends with them and most of the other guests. As
the most able-bodied person of our 3-member group, I loved noticing
how peer support works even between complete strangers. Every more
or less disabled person who comes to Evas Apartments has the life
easy and comfortable there, unlike very often in their normal
everyday life. And the able-bodied companions learn a lot from their
new not-so-able-bodied friends! We all fell in love with Cyprus, Pafos, Polis, Latsi, the Trodos
mountains, the bright blue sea, the sunsets, the fish meze, the
halloumi-mint Easter bread… and the wine of course. But most of all,
we fell in love with the Cypriot way of receiving people. Thank you
all so dearly! What this week meant to my elderly parents is well
reflected by my Mum’s words: I was certain that this was going to be
the very last trip in our life, but now I know we must come here
again With big hugs, Hanna, Eeva and Paavo from Helsinki, Finland” Hope to hear from you soon! Love, Hanna

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

Hi Chris, Just like to thank you and your family for a wonderful week’s stay.
Yes we were lucky with the weather (a week of wall-to-wall hot
sunshine), but even that couldn’t match the warmth of the welcome
from all at C&A (and pretty much everywhere else as well!). Up till
then I’d avoided anywhere catering for the disabled – maybe a
refusal to accept my condition – but having seen how much more my
wife and friends were able to relax, I realise I wasn’t being very
considerate to them! This is now the pattern for future trips abroad
– hopefully to C&A Apts again soon. Can’t wait! Quality of
everything was great and people really anxious to help and do their
best for you. Fantastic to be able to go for a swim (paddle!) again.
Really missing you all (and Eva’s wonderful breakfasts by the pool!) See you again (hopefully) soon, Kind regards, Kev, Sue, John & Lynda

Dear Chris, You will not believe it, but our return trip was perfect. We arrived
at Stuttgart exactly on German time and with our entire
luggage including the wheelchair. At the moment we are busy sorting and storing the rich harvest which
we raked in during our three week stay at C & A Apartments in Polis:
three hundred pictures and – much more valuable – a big store of
very fond memories. We explored an island with a colourful history and an impressive
landscape. We met interesting people who seriously tried to answer
our endless questions. We enjoyed the relaxed hospitality extended to us by you and your
family which on the flight back home led Andreas to the conclusion
that these where great holidays because "I could be just as
handicapped as I wanted to be"
There is not much to add besides – THANK YOU –
With kind regards Barbara, Andreas and Heiner Schenk

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.

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.

Dear
Chris, We had a wonderful holiday at Eva's apartments last year -- just
right for someone in a wheelchair, so we booked a come back. But we
were a little apprehensive -- could it be as good again? But Eva's
welcome was as warm as ever, and Chris as attentive as ever. The
thrill of being able to be hoisted into the pool -- and into the
Mediterranean off the boat -- was as great as before. We had a great
fortnight . We got soaked in rainstorms twice, but that was hardly
the fault of the folk at C&A!

Hi Chris One little paragraph in a Sunday paper lead to a wonderful stress
free holiday in Cyprus. The hire of a scooter, the hire of transport from and to the
airport were expertly organised for us. The friendly welcome when
we arrived (a day late!) was great and then to see the accommodation
which met our needs exactly confirmed that we would have a great
holiday. Jas was really confortable in both the folding
scooter,which we took in the car, and the bigger one, on which he
went to Latchi. We had a lovely trip to Pathos with Adreas, and learnt a lot about
olives on the way, as well as other things. Bryn and David especially liked the boat trip and the stop for
swimming. Laura enjoyed relaxing on the beach in the evenings and
we all enjoyed the wonderful food at places recommended by Chris as
well as the barbeque at the pool side and Nitsa's wonderful cakes.
Laura would want me to mention Andreas's capers as well!. Thanks again to all the family and we look forward to seeing the
completed extension. Jo, Jas, Bryn , David and Laura (in a cold wet UK!)

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

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

Dear Chris and family Wow, what more can we say. The holiday surpassed itself once more.
We were met by a happy smiling Andreas at Paphos airport who quickly
loaded us and our luggage and headed off for Polis. We were shown
the tobacco plantations, his favourite Olive trees and all the fauna
and flaura of your country......Even though this is yet another
visit with you guys, things still are the same and we are so happy
to be greeted by Andreas. On arrival at C & A, we were greeted once more by Eva and were
already feeling relaxed and ready to start our holiday. Ice cold
lemonade awaited us (home made of course) as well as the welcome
pack we requested, and a pot of tea, even in your climate is still
refreshing to us Brits. The apartment after its renovations was outstanding, and I presume
as others before us will have said, your photographs certainly do
not do it justice. The brand new fitted kitchen with all appliances
made for an easy life for us busy mums/wives. A dishwasher, what
bliss. You have really thought of everything to make life easier for
the able bodied as well as those that are less able. The pool area, once again, kept scrupiously clean and tidy and the
pool checked every day. The on site breakfasts were a godsend to us. Like being in a
hotel. Eva took care of everything, be it a cooked English
breakfast with home made pancakes, home made jams and marmalade,
greek yoghurt and seasonal fruit, to cereal and toast. What ever we
wanted, all we needed to do was ask the night before and the banquet
awaited us at our chosen time. Bargain price too !! We ate at
leisure around the poolside/poolbar. Once again, the holiday was made special for us as Pete was able to
make use of the Spring Float purchased on site. This enabled him to
lay relaxed in the pool, safely, for hours at a time. Kumar was very
good at ensuring that there was enough shade around the pool for
those who needed it, even though primarily he is not really there
for the guests requests, and is only solely Chris's carer. The food at the BBQ night was again out of this world as too was the
company of the family and other guests. No matter what health
problems one may have, at C & A apartments, everyone comes together
and unites as one. Thats why we will always return to C & A . Cant
wait to see you guys soon. Love and best wishes to everyone, from Dawn, Pete, Rach, Nic and
Steve

Yet
another great holiday, Chris Eva and Andreas their usual helpful
selves, nothing is too much trouble. The weather was exceptionally
hot but we can’t complain as we came back to lots of rain. The taxi
transfers as usual were trouble free with Andreas waiting for us at
the Airport and on the return managing to sweet talk airport staff
to fast track us through to departures, thanks Andreas that was
great! All in all another stress free holiday. Look forward to
seeing you next year or before if we win the lottery.

Another
fabulous holiday at C&A Apartments. This is our 5th and
6th time so that really says it all about why we keep
coming back to you, for your great hospitality and friendship. We
had to have another emergency repair done to my electric wheelchair
and it was taken care of quickly and without any fuss. This is why
we love staying with you, we have peace of mind that if anything
goes wrong you can always fix it and we are secure in the knowledge

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.

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 ,

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. The availability of both the hoist and the electric wheel chair were
a real help....we were not aware of the extent/range of your
equipment for hire, this will help make future holidays even easier
to plan and all the all the more enjoyable. The airport transfer's went without a hitch and we enjoyed the
journeys with Andreas' running commentary. Of course all the "above" is wonderful but it becomes even better
when you add the hospitality and friendship shown not just by you
but your whole family.....you are special people and we will
definitely be back to see you in 2008, thank you, Wayne Linda & Stephen ( Northumberland ).

were wonderfully relaxing with a real family atmosphere; guests will
want to return again and again to C + A Apartments, aka their new
home in Cyprus! From the minute we set foot on Cyprus, all our needs were catered
for. The airport transfer to and from C + A Apartments was faultless
and teamed with traditional Cypriot hospitality. The cost of hiring
a mobility scooter was value for money and all equipment was
reliable; making my holiday a truly wonderful experience! Helena and Julia

Hei Chris!
Työskentelemme kehitysvammaisten palvelukodissa. Matkustelemme
mielellämme kotimaassa ja ulkomailla asukkaidemme kanssa. Asukkaamme
tarvitsevat paljon erilaisia apuvälineitä ja se aiheuttaa usein
ongelmia matkustamiseen. Kaikkea ei voi ottaa mukaan ja mistäpä
saisimme paikan päällä vastaavia apuvälineitä tilalle?! Tällä kertaa valitsimme matkakohteeksemme C&A Apartmentsin kauniilla
Kyproksel-la ja olemme sitä mieltä että valinta oli loistava!
Asukkaat ja me työntekijät nautimme todella paljon lomasta! Kodikkaassa hotellissanne on otettu todella hyvin huomioon
esteettömyys liikkumisessa ja ihmisten erilaiset tarpeet.
Huoneistossamme oli paljon erilaisia apuvälineitä ja lisäksi oli
mahdollista vuokrata esim. potilasnosturi ja sähköpyörätuoli.
Mahtavaa! Myös liikkuminen Polisin kylässä oli melko vaivatonta ja
retkille pääsimme kätevästi invataksilla. Ruoka hotellissanne oli aivan mahtavan hyvää ja jäimme kaipaamaan
Evan ja Nitsan valmistamia aterioita.Haluamme kovasti kiittää teitä
kaikkia vieraanvaraisuudestanne ja toivomme että voimme tavata
taas pian uudelleen!

Hi Chris, Just want to say thank you again to you and your family. This was
Andrews first holiday abroad ever! And to be honest, as a support
worker, it was my first holiday abroad with a wheelchair user who
also has learning disabilities . All I can say is Thank God for C&A
apartments and everyone who works there as they took what could have
been a very stressful week and turned it into a great holiday. From
Andreas meeting us at the airport - what a lovely man! The C&A taxi
is fully accessible with plenty of room for all. And Andreas is so
friendly and knowledgeable about the local area - what a tour guide! The apartments are great with all the adaptations to make life
easier for those who are less mobile and for those of us who support
them!0 Everyone was so friendly and welcoming, and Andrew was able to go
swimming due to accessable pool. Thanks again and hopefully will see you all again soon

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. With everything so tailor-made and all manner of equipment available
to be hired if needed, Vivien was able to relax and enjoy the
holiday herself. We could go on about the highlights, but it's
enough to say: "we will be back."

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.

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

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

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

Jayne and I have
travelled to many destinations abroad from Spain to Las Vegas but
this was the most hassle free trip we have ever had. We found the apartment basic but spacious with a lovely patio
overlooking the pool. The bathroom was ideal and the first time we
have not had to hire a shower chair. The design of the attached
chair meant Jayne could actually use this one unlike the many others
that have been too too difficult to manage being narrow and armless.
The hoist into the pool meant easy access and onto the brilliant
lilos that are supplied by Chris, in fact we loved them so much we
each bought one to take home for future holidays. For non swimmers
like us this provided a very enjoyable cooling siesta to escape the
heatwave and relax after our lunch and beers. Polis has enogh good bars and restaurants to provide a varied choice
for dining out and people watching .It was great to be able to take
a 5 minute flat stroll down to the centre with none of the usual
obstacles and hazards that usually accompany people in wheelchairs. We enjoyed the boat trip and although we never entered the water it
was nice to see many others taking advantage of the hoist. The
transfers by Andreas was another great aspect of the facilities
provided to make the whole experience what it was supposed to be - a
holiday. Chris and the whole family were lovely company, nothing was too much
trouble and they and the other guests provided a very relaxed and
friendly atmosphere. I'm sure we will be back. very best regards to all the family Therese and Jayne
