Hi Chris
To you, your wife, your parents and your sisters
my cordial greetings. It was such a joy – this
time with you in your home. I still remember a
key sentence of your sister Nizza when we again
were late for breakfast. When I excused she
said: “You’re not in a hotel here but in a
family.” This showed the caring and warmhearted
attitude of your family. I promised to send you
my latest book “My wheelchair has wings” in a
separate letter. We felt in many ways very very
protected and are thinking seriously for coming
back perhaps later in the year.
Enjoy
swimming in the swimming pool improving your
strength. Also I do hope that I will find a room
for you if you would stay in Berlin for a couple
of days.
My warmhearted greetings to you and your big
family,
Irmhild

Dear Chris and all the family.
Thank you for yet another lovely stay at the
nicest, friendliest and the extremely well
equipped hotel we have ever been to! .
We are really inpressed by the the equipment and
planning both for those of us who are disabled
and for us who are not!
Fantastic to know that you can pick up guests
both from Larnaka and Paphos airports, and that
there is so much equippment to hire from Chris´
company "Paraquip".
Your hotel and your company are run with a warm
heart, humor and frendliness, and everything is
arranged out of your own
experience of disability.
The town Polis is a lovely little place, a place
where wheelchairs can walk easily!
And the surrounding areas are so beautiful and
can be explored thanks to the minibus excursions
you can arrange.
Andreas!! Thank you for telling us about the
Episkopi natural Museum and the magnificent
Ezousa walley. It was an unforgettable visit for
us.
So - Chris, Eva, Andreas, Nitza, the rest of the
family and your wery competent staff - thank you
for our stay. We will be back in april 2014 and
we so much look forward to laugh with you again.
Lots of love from your Swedish friends.
Ann-Britt and Hans

Hi Chris and all the family,
We really enjoyed our stay with you in Polis yet
again, everybody is so relaxed, friendly and
helpful - the whole holiday feels easy and
comfortable.
The best accolade I could give C & A Apartments
is that when Susan woke up this morning her
first words were "can we go to Cyprus again,
they are nice people" - Susan can be difficult
to please so you should be delighted with her
response.
Regarding the transfers with Andrew on arrival
and John on departure everything was perfect
timing and efficient, carried out with a
friendly attitude - excellent service. Both
drivers even made sure the speed bumps in the
road were negotiated slowly and comfortably.
Best wishes to you and all the family from all
of us here in England.

Dear Chris and
Family,
Our sixth visit to your apartments – and I see
from your Friends of 2013 section that we missed
Philip and Julie by only a week and they were on
their tenth holiday with you. So many
people return year after year that your
reputation for hospitality and a brilliant
service speaks for itself. We initially
holidayed with you because we could no longer
book a holiday without transport from the
airport that enabled passengers to travel in
their own wheelchairs. This year we booked a
trip in the accessible van to Nicosia and went
to visit the fabulous Cyprus Museum and the
Handicraft Centre. We saw weaving and pottery,
woodcarving and lacemaking, all under one
accessible roof. Well worth a trip and with a
driver that knew where the best accessible loos
were it made the long trip very smooth.This year
we saw folk dancing in the square, for a special
event, and enjoyed Easter with you too. Two, of
our party of four, bought shoes at your amazing
local shoe shop. Every year we discover new
things in Polis as well as loving the walks
along the sea at sunset. Your international
guests were all a delight and we made new
friends from Finland, Germany, Switzerland and
Denmark.

for your hospitality- the food, the wine and the
friendship of out Cypriot family. The adapted
taxi tranfers went well with tie downs and seat
belts for both wheelchair passenger and room too
for the two able bodied. We were met on time at
the airport and the departure times were also on

went well.
I

enjoyable. When I decided to come with Heather
and Ellis I knew it was not going to be an easy
holiday but we all so much enjoyed it, mainly
due to the warmth of welcome and the friendship
of your family who all made us feel so
welcome.The excursions to the mountains and to
Paphos were brilliant and Andreas was an
excellent tour guide. Thanks to his

As usual we felt as if we were returning home as

We had a great time and would not have known

We had again a great vacation in Cyprus. You
and your family made us feel very welcome when
we arrived with the adapted taxi at the C&A
Tourist Apartments. For the next days I hired a
mobility scooter and Rudy a bicycle and we made
beautiful trips along the shore of the sea and
in the little village.
Then
the Seatrac.....I was so happy to be able to
swim every day in the sea!!!
We also enjoyed the excellent food and the nice

Many, many thanks for another wonderful

were made very welcome and quickly felt at home.
The transport from the airport was quick and
efficient thanks to John, as was the return
thanks to Andreas. As usual we were fed to
bursting thanks to Eva's and Nitsa's great
cooking.
As for the equipment hire, everything I asked
for was provided, and when Jackie found the
going a bit difficult due to the heat another
scooter was provided in no time by Chris.
It was lovely to
meet up with old friends and make new ones.We
are looking forward to next June and seeing you

Thanks once again for making it such a lovely

We had a lovely time with you all once again and
thanks for the photos, they are really good, as
is the one on the website.
After our fifth visit to the C&A Apartments we
now look on our holidays there as visiting
friends, the whole family, John, Lorraine, Kumar
& VJ.
On arrival at Paphos airport (where the
assistance for disabled is
excellent) our holiday begins
when we see John or Andrew waiting for us ready
to transport us to Polis in the specially
adapted minibus. It's lovely to arrive at the
apartments and be warmly welcomed back. We can
relax in the knowledge that all needs are
catered for and nothing is too much trouble.
Frank brings his own small mobility scooter with
him but usually hires a larger one from Chris to
make the trip to Latchi and back. Other
equipment can be hired if necessary. We have
plenty of laughs and meet up with friends from
earlier holidays. We will be back next June -
must go on a diet after eating all the wonderful
food cooked by Eva & Nitsa! See you all in 2013.

it was very easy and the lifeguard was very

We really enjoyed our week with you, it passed

I only used the Seatrac once but it was really
good. A great asset. I would definately like to
come back, and will recommend to all my
wheelchair friends. It's great that you have so
much equipment available to rent, my friend
hired a scooter so she could keep up with me
going down to the beach. I went to see a good
film today, - Untouchable - it's about a french
quadraplegic who hires an unusual carer, so if

Hi to Chris and family.
Once again thank you so much for a wonderful two
week holiday at C & A Polis. Beginning with a
smooth flight from Manchester, Andreas' meeting
us at the airport in Paphos and the warm welcome
by all your family. We always look forward to
our holiday with you as we know everything is so
well catered for - a great apartment and
especially Eva & Nitsa's cooking (clean plates
every time), lazing by the pool (me reading
copious books!) with a bit of exercise in the
pool when we cool off! And we really enjoy our
visit to Latchi via the beach path, for which we
hire two of your scooters - as I don't like
walking back up the hill in the heat. I had a
fabulous trip to the Troudos mountains with
Andreas and Andrew and four people from a Paphos
hotel. I have never seen mountains like them!
And the roads........ well I would never dare
to drive them, but Andrew was superb, as was
Andreas, captivating us all with his knowledge
of flora and fruits of Cyprus. We were both
looking forward to a boat trip, but
unfortunately the guy in charge of the boat had
broken his shoulder - disappointment! So that
trip is in our diary for next year, and anything
else we can arrange - provisionally booked 2
weeks already. Ah well, transfer back to
airport was, as always, smooth, flight home
smooth too, but arrival at Manchester - dark,
wet and cold! From 35 degrees down to 12 - a
shock to the systems! Thank you all for having
us this year and roll on September 2013.
Take care of yourselves, with
Love, Linda & Michael.

"Once
again we have had a super holiday with Eva,
Chris & family at C&A in Polis.
As we live in Cyprus, people often say, 'why do
we travel from Limassol to Polis for a
holiday?'. Bryan doesn't travel well on long
journeys, these days, and it can be difficult if
we go to an 'unknown' if he'll be able to cope
with the wheelchair in a different environment,
but we know for sure that at C&A, there is no
problem, everywhere is accessible. Also,
although we love Cyprus, it is still coming to
terms with the needs of wheelchair users, and
through Chris' efforts, Polis is one of the best
places in Cyprus as far as accessibility goes;
Chris has done so much to raise awareness. From
restaurants, to ATM machines, even the drivers
are more considerate - and in Cyprus that really
is something!
Also, the lift for the pool, and nearby sea
track mean Bryan can use the pool - so good for
exercise when you have limited mobility, and can
also go into the sea, which is wonderful. For
those of us who can just do these things it is
impossible to understand just how much it means
to someone, who possibly hasn't been able to go
into a pool, or the sea for years
But apart from all of this,each time we return
to C&A, it is like going home to family.
Andreas, Chris, Eva, Nitsa, Charoulla, Chris,
Kumar, VJ, Andrew, Demetri,,,,,,, Have I missed
anyone? sorry, ALL of you do so much to make us
welcome.
You work so hard, yet make it seem effortless,
and we know you do it with love - THAT is the
reason we keep coming back.
'Cos we love you all". Bryan & Dawn, Limassol,

Just a brief note to thank you all for a lovely

good care of from when Andrew picked us up at
the airport in the adapted minibus until he
dropped us off on our return.
Having meals prepared and presented by your
family added a further personal touch to our
stay. Along with the availability of disabled
equipment hire your home became my home for the
duration of our holiday. I was thrilled to swim
in the pool every day, and with the help of the
sea-trac, I managed to swim in the sea twice. I
was also delighted to Parasail for the first
time – the crew that took us were amazing. I
look forward to our next visit.

Just would like to say a big thank you for a
great holiday. As we had never been to Cyprus
before i was nervous as to what to expect but as
we arrived so late and the whole family came out
to great us I was well impressed. I have
honestly never experienced such nice caring
helpful people before. I would certainly
recommend C&A to any body with disabilities.
I
was also impressed with the hire of the
equipment. Not to say the transfers with the
comfy vehicles, even when we wanted to go out
their transport laid on with out any worries.
One of my fondest memories was the fact that the

Здравствуйте Крис,
вся твоя семья и сотрудники отеля C & A!
Это было наше первое путешествие на Кипр и оно
удалось на 5+ (на отлично)!Спасибо тебе и всей
семье, что Вы делаете доступным отдых на Кипре
для людей с инвалидностью.Спасибо за
гостеприимство, доброе и внимательное отношение
к нам.Погода нас очень радовала на протяжении
всего отдыха, было тепло и приятно.Проживание в
отеле было для нас комфортным: уютная комната,
оборудованные всем необходимым кухня и душ, все
способствовало отдыху и расслаблению в наш
отпуск.
Огромное спасибо Эльвире, которая очень помогала
нам в общении с Вами. Очень жаль, что Вы не
знаете русский язык, а мы очень плохо знаем
английский.
Предложение Евы выучить русский язык было
замечательным, тогда при встрече нам будет о чем
поговорить :).Трансфер из аэропорта и на море
особенно отметим, - спасибо Джону, Андреасу и
другим, кто возил нас, наша безопасность была на
высшем уровне! На море мы ездили когда хотели,
даже в 7утра, все было отлично организованно!
Крис, возможность аренды скутера-это отличная
идея! Когда мы ходили на море на скутере у нас
была возможность любоваться природой Кипра,
чувствовать запахи разных трав и видеть как
растут оливковые деревья, памело, мандарины,
лимоны, апельсины.
Хорошо, что бассейн в отеле тоже с подъемником и
даже с обогревлом, очень приятно им
воспользоваться и понежиться под лучами солнца.
Доступное море, это мечта человека с
инвалидностью, а у Вас на Кипре, в Полисе, эта
мечта стала реальностью. Очень удобно
использовать рампу в море, даже можно обойтись
без помощников!
Ваша традиция делать барбекю около
бассейна-замечательная идея, она дала нам
возможность поближе познакомиться с отдыхающими
из других стран.
Прогулка на кораблике в голубую лагуну была
просто сказочная. Мы первый раз видели корабль с
подъемным устройством для возможности искупаться
в голубой лагуне людям с инвалидностью. Поразило
море необыкновенностью лазуревого цвета и
прозрачностью. Спасибо, Крис, что организовал
это развлечение.
Нам очень и очень понравился раrаsailing, это
были яркие эмоции и исполнение нашей давней
мечты! Профессионализм и опыт команды Latchi
Watersports Centre нас поразил, все было сделано
на высоком уровне. Спасибо ребятам!
Для нас это был незабываемый отдых на Кипре!
Конечно хотелось бы еще раз приехать на Ваш
замечательный остров, чтобы с комфортом
отдохнуть в Вашей гостинице, накупаться в
красивом, ласковом и теплом море и получить
массу приятных эмоций и ярких впечатлений на
весь год вперед!
По приезду мои друзья с инвалидностью
интересуются как мы отдохнули и я с
удовольствием рассказываю им, что на Кипре можно
отдохнуть без проблем и с комфортом!
Приглашаем Вас
посетить Россию, которая Вам тоже понравится
своим великолепием природы,
достопримечательностями и
гостеприимством.Здоровья всей семье!
С наилучшими пожеланиями из России-Татьяна

Hi Chris,
Our family holiday in C&A Apartments in Cyprus
is the example, how important is combination of
two factors: place and atmosphere.
Cyprus as itself is great place to spend
holidays and it does not require any further
proves. But to spend the holiday not just in
Cyprus but also in C&A Apartments is additional
value added. Chris and his family who run
together their touristic business are creating
very nice and friendly atmosphere. You can feel
like in home, enjoying hospitality, good food
and friendship. Additionally for the people who
are using wheelchair (and for their families as
well) there are lots of facilities which makes
your time comfortable. Whole area of apartments
together with private swimming pool is
accessible. You can hire wide range of needed
equipment including electric wheelchairs, you
can order accessible taxi and go whenever you
want: from - into airport, to the beach or to
many interesting places. No barriers, only
possibilities. Last but not least - amazing
sea-track, equipment which is "delivering"
handicapped people directly into the sea! Wow!
That was absolutely something unique!
We would like to thank Chris and his family for
great holiday and we hope to return in the
future.

I really enjoyed staying in C&A
apartments.
Of course thanks to the family who are a very
open, warm people. Although we arrived at night
there, we were welcomed with there already
famous nice glass of cold home-made lemon
lemonade!One night there was a barbeque, and
nobody was just sitting there and doing nothing,
everybody was dancing. Christo invited about 10
beautiful looking girls for a wonderful
traditional Cypriote dance! And then suddenly
the neighbors –a couple of professional
dancers- came to show there performance to
spontaneous complete a magical evening. That was
really a very fun night.
Our rooms were comfortable, because my friend
and I are only 16, we don’t like to get up
early. But Kumar and VJ waited to clean them
when we were out of bed, so we could sleep in.
The area of Polis is beautifull. One morning we
went for horseback riding in the Mountains. Even
though I don’t really like horses, I really
enjoyed it.
You’re only fifteen minutes walking from the
sea, but it’s a nice walk because there is a lot
to see along the road. It runs along beautiful
orange groves and palm trees. At the beach, and
the pool too, and ofcourse very adapted to
invalid people, they easily can get in.For a
sixteen year old, there’s not much to do in
polis, But I still liked it, because i could
really take some time for myself, and just
relax.And would i come back?Well, we actually
went twice, so that’s a yes J

Hi everybody,
We would like to thank you all for making our
stay in Polis fantastic. Everything was as it
should be and even more; great food, nice big
apartments, a super atmosphere …Chris, his
family as well as the rest of the staff working
at C&A apartments do everything in their power
to make your stay memorable.
We especially liked the boat trip organized by
Chris. It gave me the opportunity to swim in the
sea which I have not done since I became a
wheelchair user. The parasailing was also
unforgettable.
I could go on and on telling how wonderful our
stay was, but you have to experience it
yourself. Chris, his family and the rest of the
staff will welcome you with open arms!
Greetings, Annick, Danny, Lotte and Arne

DEAR CHRIS AND FAMILY,
STELLA, CATHERINE AND LINDA WOULD LIKE TO SAY
WHAT A GREAT HOLIDAY WE HAD AT C AND A
APARTMENTS. THE FACT THAT WE COULD CONTACT YOU
AND BOOK THE APARTMENT, GET RETURN TRANSFERS TO
AND FROM THE AIRPORT IN AN ADAPTED TAXI AND,
ALSO, OBTAIN THE EQUIPMENT NEEDED FOR MUM TO
KEEP HER INDEPENDENCE AND DIGNITY, WAS SO EASY
FOR MYSELF TO BOOK. THE FAMILY ATMOSPHERE OF ALL
YOUR FAMILY MEMBERS MADE US FEEL AS IF WE WERE
PART OF YOUR FAMILY. WE WILL ALWAYS SING THE
PRAISES, AND WISH THERE WERE MORE LIKE THEM, OF
YOUR UNIQUE HOLIDAY EXPERIENCE.
BEST WISHES AND HOPE TO SEE YOU AGAIN SOON.

Уважаемый Крис!
Позвольте поблагодарить Вас и Вашу семью за
гостеприимство! Оно было таким искренним и
открытым во время нашего пребывания у вас.
Нам очень понравился и Кипр, и пребывание в
вашем отеле, и трансфер… Начнём с того, что мы
прибыли вчетвером, и трое из нашей компании
используют коляски. Мы были приятно удивлены
оперативностью и удобством, с которыми
осуществляются все вопросы с перемещением.
Микроавтобус оборудован подъёмным устройством.
Другой транспорт тоже удобен для использования
людьми, передвигающимися на инвалидных колясках.
Мы часто пользовались услугами и Эндрю, и
Андреаса для того, чтобы комфортно и быстро
куда-либо съездить.
Двери из наших номеров-студий выходили в очень
уютный тихий дворик. Сами номера достаточно
просторны, чтобы в них с комфортом проживали два
человека, использующих коляски. Очень удобный
санузел. Номера оборудованы всем необходимым. В
них при желании можно даже готовить (есть
микроволновая печь, электроплита, электрочайник,
необходимая посуда и столовые приборы). Нам было
очень удобно.
Хотелось бы особенно отметить наличие подъёмника
в бассейне. Учитывая жаркий климат, возможность
поплавать в бассейне даже только для того, чтобы
охладиться, - это очень большой плюс.
Особое наше восхищение вызвало наличие
подъёмного устройства на пляже. Мы с огромным
удовольствием купались в море. На наш взгляд,
море – это лучшее лечение от всех болячек! ))
Очень удобно, что у Криса в любое время можно
взять пульт, с помощью которого управляется
подъёмник, и рвануть на море.))) За это – наша
отдельная благодарность!
Невероятно удобно то, что можно в любой момент
арендовать дополнительное оборудование. Мы с
удовольствием пользовались скутером. Учитывая
холмистую местность и то, что мы используем
коляски «активного» типа, скутер очень выручал
нас при походах в магазины и прогулках по
Полису.
И, наконец, хотелось бы выразить особую
благодарность всей Вашей дружелюбной семье,
Крис! За ваше внимание, терпение,
доброжелательность… Мы просто влюбились в Вашу
дружную семью. Нас особо восхитило то, насколько
профессионально все члены Вашей большой семьи и
все сотрудники оказывают помощь колясочникам.
Это было потрясающе! Ваш профессионализм – это
почти искусство!
К сожалению, мы очень-очень плохо владеем
английским языком, поэтому это создавало
трудности в общении. И мы благодарим всех членов
семьи за терпение, которое вы все проявили при
общении с нами. Мы обязуемся овладеть
разговорным английским языком!))) В этой связи,
Крис, пожалуйста, поблагодарите от нашего имени
Эльвиру! Её помощь была неоценима!
Мы наслаждались каждым днём пребывания в вашем
отеле, увидели столько интересного. Поездку в
«Голубую лагуну» и полёт на парасейлинге мы не
забудем никогда. Это был потрясающий и очень
интересный отдых! Особо хотелось бы отметить то,
что многие развлечения вполне доступны для
колясочников.
Крис, передайте, пожалуйста, огромный привет,
нашу благодарность и пожелания удачи Андреасу
(шашлык был невероятно вкусным!), Еве, Нице,
Чарулле, Эндрю, Димитрису, Джону, Эльвире,
Виджею, Кумару.
Мы надеемся ещё раз приехать к вам на отдых!
Низкий всем вам поклон за ваш труд.
С любовью и благодарностью,
Сергей и Наталья (Россия)

Dear Chris and team
Just wanted to say thank you from all of us for
a fantastic holiday. We were all quite anxious
about going abroad for our first time since
Tom’s accident but you have all been wonderful.
Everything was made so easy for us including the
booking process, being picked up and dropped off
to the airport in the adapted bus, the apartment
was perfect with good space to manoeuvre around
in a wheelchair, the pool and hoist was a god
send - especially needed as Tom has trouble with
maintaining his body temperature and he was able
to keep cool in the pool. A special mention to
Eva and co for the wonderful food – we all agree
that the meals at C&A were the best we had out
of all our meals whilst on holiday – and they
were all great!! Another benefit was being able
to hire equipment – all managed with minimum of
fuss but appreciated greatly – Tom would have
been in real trouble if you hadn’t had a
wheelchair handy for him to borrow when his got
a puncture. Anya also enjoyed the mobility
scooters – I think she was grateful to be able
to keep up with Tom!
Once again thank you for the excellent holiday –
we are already looking at dates for next year!
With love Tracey, Vince, Tom & Anya xx

Hi Chris,
When I read all the previous comments on your
guestbook, it's hard to add something new.
-yes, the taxi transfer(from and to Paphos) with
John was excellent, even at midnight with all his
useful information.
-yes, the welcome of the warm family was fantastic,
even with the teasings of Chris
back and forth
-yes, the food and beds were more than ok. Thanks to
Eva and Nitsa(and Charoulla for the Ouzo's before
and the liqueurs
afterwards), and Koomer & Veejay for the beds and
water for the plants.
-yes, Andreas does his job as Cyprus-guide("Let me
explain!") very well! also thanks to him.
-In other words:
YES, WE WILL COME BACK (but not tomorrow ;) )
We will send our love back to everyone who's working
hard at C&A, to make
unforgettable holidays.

Hi Chris,
The new apartments were so well designed and
comfortable, and we had no problems, especially with
the scooters and wheelchair, which made getting
about and around so easy. Everyone went out of their
way to make our stay so enjoyable.It was lovely for
John to be able to swim in the pool again,with the
help of the hoist, it was so refreshing in the very
hot and humid weather we had. How can we not
mention the wonderful meals prepared by Eva,Nitsa
and their helpers, and the very hospitable
atmosphere in the evenings.Eve even arranged for a
very good masseuse for John, which made him feel
even better!! We cannot recommend the C ^ A
apartments too highly,and hopefully will be
making a return visit very soon. Pat and John

Hi Chris,
"we are lucky enough to live in Cyprus, so were able to visit
for the weekend. As always, we were greeted as old friends, and
had a superb time. I think we've been in each of the studio
apartments on our visits, now, and each one is perfect for a
wheelchair user. For Bryan, being able to use the pool is
perfect, and on a hot summers day, what could be better,
followed by Nitsa and Eva's wonderful meal. Can't wait until
September!"

Hi Chris,
Just to say thanks to you and your family for a lovely stay. A
special thanks to Andreas and Andrew for their patience and for
putting up with all my questions of this and the other!! :o).
I came for a holiday and ended up with an experience for
lifetime. I have never felt so welcome in any place as I did at
C & A Apartments!.My Mother learned that she is still able to go
for a holiday out of Denmark if the right help are available -
and at C & A Apartments they certainly are!. From the time we
set foot at Copenhagen Airport we had all the help we needed. In
Larnaca Airport Andrew was there to pick us up in your special
lift car. That was so great.When we arrived we were received by
the family - serving soothing, cold homemade lemon lemonade -
what a real treat!! The room we were in was situated right in
the center of the heart of C & A Apartments. Being able to have
a chat ever so often with Eva and Andreas, you and your lovely
sisters was just great!!And now to a praise of the food. I have
never ever been on holiday where I have had so much homemade,
tasty and delicious food! Made with the love for food and of
cooking it. The tzatziki and the salads were crispy, fresh and
harmonically blended. The homemade olives and capers - so tasty!
Andreas barbecue - yummy!! The cakes and jelly - the fresh fruit
and breakfast with warm homemade bread, different homemade
marmalade...!I was not the least surprised that I gained weight
while staying with you. I just had to taste it all!!
As it was the first time for my Mother to go abroad after her
stroke and because it was really hot weather - we did not move a
lot. We went to Latsi. Visited Polis some times and we had a
trip to the beach. I'm sure that next time we come for a holiday
with you we will go on a trip to see more of your lovely Cyprus.
And next time we will visit you in May/June 2013 or
September....! :o)
Thanks a lot for a very lovely holiday and love to ALL your
family!!
Kindest regards from Denmark

Hi Chris and family,It was a great pleasure meeting you and your

From airport transfers, in your adapted mini van where John was
waiting for us at the gate and was not only there to drive us
back to the apartments but gave us a detailed tour and gave us
great advice on the do's and don't's of Cyprus :), to the pool
hoist, and whenever needed equipment was there to hire out, we
have thoroughly enjoyed visiting you.One of many great memories
were your wonderful family who provided an amazing and friendly
atmosphere. They were very welcoming and helpful in many ways,
especially your mum Eva and sister Nitsa.Thank-you for making
our holiday a memorable experience

Hi Chris and family...... This was my fourth year
at C&A and yet again it didn't disappoint , the warmth of your
family and the effort they put in ensuring guests are happy is
something else ! Over the years I've noticed how clean the
apartments and surrounding areas are, that's still the same, as
is the delicious food prepared by your mother and sister .This
year was a little different in the fact I had wheelchair
problems , instantly you helped me and gave me a loan of the
required part from one of your own wheelchairs. All of your
aids are useful, from Shower chairs commodes to electric/ manual
chairs and even those fabulous scooters that even able bodied
people seem to use on those extra hot cyprus days when they go
sightseeing!
I always enjoyed my transfers with your father in the adapted
taxi listening to his tales of Cyprus and his local knowledge ,
this time I had your nephew and we had a nice chat which killed
the 45 minute transfer time
Enjoying being out the oven for now but shall return very soon

once when we asked you too.
We were treated so good, we felt at home at your hotel. We

David and
I had our first stay at C&A in June 2012 and it was a most
enjoyable week. Swimming in the pool and the sea was made
easy by the equipment provided not to mention the gloriously hot
weather.The apartment was well designed and the air-conditioner
efficient (thank goodness)It was great not having to drive for a
week – we were picked up and taken back to the airport in the
adapted taxi which was also available for other excursions.Being
able to hire a powered wheelchair was also useful as the manual
was a bit much in the heat, especially if you want to
explore.The people were lovely – both visitors and hosts – a bit
like being part of a family, I guess because we all have
something in common and therefore understand the challenges.I am
sure we will be back next year – maybe in a slightly cooler
month?
We hope this finds you and the family in good health

This was mine and Rob’s third visit and my parent’s first and
yet again it was such great fun and very enjoyable! We
were met at the airport by John which was a lovely surprise as
our first visit 7 years ago was the first time John and Lorraine
visited with Janet and we spent a great week with them and Chris
and the family. After a very easy transfer in the specially
adapted minibus we had a lovely welcome from Chris, Eva, Nitsa,
Andreas and the rest of the family. The atmosphere and
friendliness of the place is just as wonderful as is the
delicious food prepared by Eva and Nitsa! Dad hired a power
scooter which meant he was able to join us on the beach path
along to Latchi. Thank you again to all of you, you all

Hello
Chris, Nitsa, Eva, Andreas, Andrew, Kumar, Vj, Charoulla and all
staff at C & A,
As we sit here looking out the window at the pouring rain (more
like November than June!) We think fondly of our lovely time
with you all in Cyprus.At the beginning meeting John at the
airport in the special adapted mini bus, nothing was to much
trouble and made us feel welcome straight away. Then arriving
at the apartments we were welcomed by you all with homemade
lemonade. We were amazed at how spotless the apartment was and
how it had everything you needed. In the evenings we enjoyed
your delicious home cooked food in the family atmosphere you
cleverly create amongst all your guestsWe really enjoyed the
excursions, and was impressed with Andreas's local knowledge .Havent
stopped talking about it since we got back and recommend to many
people ( hopefully will do a little presentation in October at
our local stroke club) You all have been an inspiration to Terry
he has improved immensely since we have been home, he had missed
Cyprus so much and it is a huge comfort to him knowing that he
can go back there and have a holiday again with you in the
future.We will come back and visit you all soon and very much
looking forward to more Cypriot/South African cuisine. Nitsa i
am hoping to have your bobotie next time!
