Hi Chris,
From the moment I arrived at C & A Tourist Apartments and was greeted with a hug and kiss from the family , i knew that this holiday was going to be totally different to any holiday i had been on before. The kitchen in my apartment was better adapted for me than my kitchen at home and the bathroom was great too. I knew i could spend this holiday being as independent and safe as i would be at home. Mornings were spent with all the other guests enjoying one of Eva's fantastic breakfasts. The days were spent in an inflatable armchair in the pool and the evenings were spent with the other guests enjoying nice meals out. The whole family were very welcoming and we all ended up like one big happy family - so much so that hopefully i will be coming back next year. Kirstie xx

Hi Chris

Elizabeth We have just returned from the most wonderful week in Cyprus staying at C & A Apartments. From the moment Andreas collected us in his adapted vehicle the whole week went like a dream. The facilities were second to none - for the first time ever on holiday I was able to get Bruce in and out of the shower with no problem. Chris's suggestion that we hire an electric wheelchair was just the best. It made the holiday for me as I would never have managed with the manual wheelchair in the heat. Eva's lovely breakfasts round the pool and her daughter's delicious cake were a real treat. The village of Polis is great - all the people were so very friendly, kind and helpful. All in all the holiday was perfect and we really look forward to returning before too long. Love to Chris, Andreas and Eva xxxx

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

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

Hi Chris + family
What can we say, you have done it again and made our holiday for
Terry+Madge another year to remember, and as you know they are already
getting ready to book for next year, from the moment we arrived and were
getting out the taxi Eva was there greeting us all, its just like home
from home......well sort of.......i think andy does more work here than
he does at home (ha ha),even Demetris was there helping with our
luggage, and then you came to greet us, you little ray of sunshine, as you
know our holiday consists of pleasing Terry+Madge and i know without
your help we wouldn't be able to achieve that, they love getting up in the
morning and wheeling their chairs down to enjoy the wonderful breakfast
Eva has prepared for us all, not to mention the great afternoon cakes,there
is only one sad part of the holiday and thats the leaving you all to
come home,but we all had such a fantastic time and shall so look forward
to seeing you next year.
Love to you all

Hi Chris, Melanie and I would like to
thank you all for making our holiday fantastic.Your hospitality ,
especially your mum cooking the breakfast for everyone who wanted it was
second to none.And afternoon tea and cake...delicious.Thank you Eva. I
was delighted that Melanie felt confident enough to wander around your
very well adapted complex.And to see her in the pool, after a little
persuasion, was brilliant.I tried to look for fault in the complex but
could not find one.And a big thanks to Andres,for taking us on the
excursions and the airport run, I think we would have stood there hours
without his help.Every one including the other guests, made us feel very
welcome, which helped us both to relax. Both Melanie and I felt we were
part of a big international family.We are so glad we met you all...We
will be back...
Many thanks....Kath and Melanie

Chris,
a
thank you to all at the Eva Apartments, Polis, for a wonderful
week. Thanks to Eva for her welcome and hospitality that made
the stay so enjoyable. Thanks to Andreas for his helpfulness and
knowledge that enables us to enjoy and appreciate this part of
Cyprus so much. A special thanks to Chris for all that he has
achieved in and around the town in making it so accessible but
especially for of his warmth, intelligence and humour.
The Eva (C&A) Apartments are so accessible for those with mobility needs and yet also so comfortable for those of us who are partners and carers. For any item or equipment that you discover that you need, simply ask a member of the family at any time of the day, they are only too pleased to assist. The provision and quality of the facilities for those with mobility needs both at the apartments and around Polis generally are clearly the result of somebody who has seen the need from their own personal situation. Chris is quite rightly known locally as the “Wheelchair Warrior”. Polis itself is a quiet and yet substantial town within easy walking distance of nearby beaches. Within it’s centre there are a number of restaurants which provide a range and variety of menus that would still offer most holiday makers a new choice at the end of their visit. The central square offers a range of pavement bars and cafés that generate a warm relaxed atmosphere were it is easy to while away the evenings. A little further away is the beautiful wine growing region in the hills a few miles from Polis, whilst in less than an hour you can reach the vibrant resort of Paphos. This area of Cyprus has so much to offer which when coupled with the facilities and friendliness of the Eva Apartments make it a must return destination Gill & Rob

Hi Chris
Sorry for the delay. We had a good holiday in your studio
apartment in
March. We were both
impressed with the very high standard of accommodation and
facilities surrounding the apartnent.
Alan enjoyed his swim in the pool
each day. It was bit too cool for me though. We hope to come
back to you and next time we will stay for a longer period.
Best wishes to you and the
family.

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

We had a fantastic time ,again (our 3rd visit). It is great to know we will have everything we need (especially a well adapted shower room) from the minute we arrive. The beach ramp from Polis to Latchi is a real success story - with plenty of 'watering holes' along the way!! We met some lovely people and your family were so welcoming we felt we were part of it yet again. Thankyou - hope to see you soon!Julie and Philip

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

The beach, walk way, & hard surfic along the way to Latchi, fishing Harbour , such wonderful views. The boat trip, with hoist into sea, great , also hoist into swimmingpool, all so wonderfully worked out for those indeed. The mix in the complex also work wheather disabaled or not.

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

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

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

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

Hi Chris,
We have not forgotten you and your parents
either!
Thanks for a lovely stay...we completed
the rest of our Cyprus visit in April 2005 without incident and by far C
& A Apts was the best accommodation we had. We are both able-bodied and
the facilities are just as excellent for us. Wonderful fish dinners are
within walking distance and Aphrodite's Baths are an easy cycle (about
10Km each way)Breakfasts by the pool are not to be missed!!!!

Hi Chris
In June 2006 we hired a wheelchair for my Dad who
has Parkinsons Disease. Although Dad is able to walk short
distances we decided that having a chair " just in case" would
let us see more of the island. Our initial email was met with a
prompt and professional response so we weren't surprised
when on our first morning in Polis the wheelchair was delivered. What we weren't expecting, however was the totally
personal and friendly service we received. The service you and
your family provide Chris is much more than hiring equipment -
you genuinely care and seem committed to ensuring that everyone
can enjoy their time in Cyprus.
We would recommend:
The boat trip - it was so refreshing to go out
with a group without worrying whether we were holding people up
or whether we could get on and off okay.
A walk along the beach between Polis and Latchi
and finally
Your service to anyone who asks (and even those
who don't!)
Kind Regards
Elaine, Arthur, Len and Margaret
Guest's Name:
Emma Fairhall What can we say…our second visit to the apartments and it really felt like returning home! Mum is so much more disabled this year than last (a stroke on top of MS is NOT funny) so returning to see everyone in Polis was easy for us, we knew exactly what to expect. Andreas was at the airport to greet us all (sorry for the late arrival Andreas) and we soon fell into the ‘it’s no problem’ way of life! Eva’s breakfasts are just as we remembered them; despite protestations of ‘I’m only having toast’ we all ate too much!! Our two week stay went by far too quickly and we made some great friends too. Charlotte’s fall into the pool will probably be best remembered thanks to Paul’s quick dive to the bottom to retrieve her (despite her bobbing up quickly with her arm bands on) and her agreement to want to move to Cyprus despite having to learn a new sandwich (language!) is likely to cause giggles across the world for a while to come! To anyone considering visiting Polis for the first time, do it! The apartments have everything you need for a peaceful holiday, all of the equipment you could ever imagine needing for someone with a disability is on hand, the weather is hot, the pool is warm, Andreas is the happiest taxi driver we’ve ever met, Eva is a wonderful cook (supported brilliantly by two daughters and a very helpful grandson) and Polis itself is more than geared up for wheelchair accessibility. Pafos is well worth a visit if you get a free day and if you can get a day in the mountains you’ll be well rewarded.Chris, Eva and Andreas, we will be back! Thank you for everything you did for us again this year, without you it just wouldn’t be the same. Love to everyone, from Emma, Paul, Charlotte, Ann, Ian, Joan and Sarah xxxxxxx

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

with you so comfortable last week. Of course, I knew what to expect
having been in 2005 but I bought with me 5 different people this
time, each with different needs and abilities. I really appreciate
the efforts you went to to provide us with the extra equipment we
needed to assist us around the appartment. ie: the bed rails and
toilet seats. I am already looking forward to coming again in June

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

RalfGuest's Residence: Germany Date Signed: 14th May Aktivurlaub April 2006 Im Frühling 2006 haben wir uns für unseren Rad - Aktivurlaub Polis / Zypern ausgesucht. Polis vor allem deshalb, weil wir dort in dieser Zeit eine abwechslungsreiche, grüne Natur erwartet haben, die vom Massentourismus noch weitgehend verschont ist. Als Unterkunft haben wir C&A Tourist Apartments gewählt, da die Internetangaben den Eindruck vermitteln, hier steht der Gast im Vordergrund - und nicht das Geschäft. Es ist ein ganz toller Urlaub geworden. Polis bietet eine vielseitige Umgebung und man findet noch das "normale" Leben. Die Natur hat sich von ihrer schönsten Seite gezeigt: alles grün, viele, viele Blumen, auch viele Orchideen, und auf den Feldern überall zuckersüße Orangen. Auch unsere Unterkunft war ein Volltreffer: Eine ruhige grüne Oase mitten in der Stadt. Eva, Chris und Andreas führen ihre kleine Ferienanlage mit so viel Liebe und Leidenschaft, die man in keiner der üblichen Ferienunterkünfte wiederfinden kann. Sie sind immer für ihre Gäste da und geben ihnen jede nur mögliche Unterstützung. Bei der Ausrichtung der Anlage auf behinderte Gäste ist dies besonders positiv. Dafür auch von unserer Seite ein besonderer Dank. Wir haben mit dem Rad die wunderschöne Umgebung von Polis kennengelernt und können allen nur empfehlen, diese Natur ebenso zu genießen. Nutzen Sie die Möglichkeiten, die Ihnen in dieser Anlage für die unterschiedlichsten Aktivitäten geboten werden, es lohnt sich immer. Und wenn Sie einfach nur abschalten wollen, auch dafür ist die kleine Anlage mit dem Pool und der gepflegten Gartenanlage ideal geeignet. Nochmals unser Dank für diesen wunderschönen Urlaub!

This is just wee note to say how marvellous my recently holiday to
Cyprus
(Evas Apartments)
and how your equipment made the world of different. Your scooters, and
how reliable they were, made our holiday so great and gave my friend and
I a great deal of freedom. The range of the equipment that we used and
how accessible it made our holiday was second to none. Also, we love to
add, how amazing it was to be picked from the airport you have no idea
what different it makes to the start of our holiday.
There is nothing that can be faulted, and
I will be highly recommending it to all I can , so keep up the good
work!
with love, Agnes McLean

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

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

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

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

Hello! Chris, Eva,& Andreas. Our Cypriot Friends. Well
Chris what can i say about you and your family, that has not been said
before, We have gone through your guest book, and no matter what we say some
one else will has said it already. You and your lovely family have created a
beautiful oasis in the center of Polis, we loved going around your village
using one of your rental scooters (made our holiday stress free). i liked
the way it is and pray that the big Holiday firms dont come in and ruin the
town by building highrise hotels that dont have any feeling about them and
they only worry about the money that they make from people and every body
is just a number. Where as arriving at C&A Apartments. we felt the warmth"
not from the hot sun in the sky" but from your familys hearts, i dont think
we have ever had a welcome like it any where else. Yes Chris (or should i
say Mr Neophytou) Guest's Nam e: Chris ChristofidesGuest's Residence: UK Date Signed: 13th Sept 2005 "We are a family of five and we came to C&A on a recommendation. I went on the web site as soon as I was given the details about C&A and booked straight away once I read all the details about the accommodation, facilities and Polis. Although I was born in Cyprus I had never stayed in Polis nor visited the Akamas peninsula. When we arrived we were not disappointed. The family welcome was special and warm. The facilities were first class and the atmosphere was calm, relaxed and very inclusive. We are all able bodied and throughout our stay we integrated naturally with all the guests. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at C&A and would like to return in the future" Regards to all of you Guest's Name: pietchelvis Guest's Residence: Holland Date Signed: 10th Sept 2005 Afgelopen week zijn we teruggekeerd uit Cyprus en voor de allereerste keer hebben we besloten volgend jaar naar dezelfde bestemming te gaan. Piet, mijn man heeft de ziekte van Becker waardoor hij zeer veel moeite heeft met opstaan , lopen en normaal dus ook niet een zwembad in en met name niet uit kan komen. Nu was alles perfekt. Het appartement was ruim en de badkamer volledig aangepast. Via de hellingbaan kon Piet makkelijk zelf vanuit het appartement naar het zwembad gaan. Via de zwembadlift kon ik hem net zo vaak als hij wilde in het zwembad laten zakken en ook weer ophalen natuurlijk.Het was voor hem jaren geleden dat hij in onze vakantie heeft kunnen zwemmen. Rondom het zwembad waren ook een aantal verhoogde ligbedden voor gasten die moeite hebben met de gewone ligbedden. Verder kun je via Chris een electrische rolstoel, een scoot-mobiel en ook andere hulpmiddelen regelen zoals b.v. een tillift. Hieraan zijn uiteraard wel kosten verbonden maar het is het wel waard. Zo hebben wij voor de gehele periode een scoot-mobiel gehuurd waardoor we makkelijk zelf naar het strand konden maar ook elke avond even naar het dorp gingen. In elk restaurant was het geen enkel probleem om met de scoot-mobiel te komen. Er werd altijd ruimte gemaakt en men was altijd behulpzaam met het parkeren van de scooter. Wat voor ons ook een zeer belangrijke reden is om terug te gaan is de persoonlijke aandacht van zowel Chris, Eva als Andreas. Met Chris hebben we erg gelachen, Eva is altijd even zorgzaam en Andreas is erg behulpzaam als je wat meer wilt weten over het eiland. Wij hebben voor 3 dagen een auto gehuurd en Andreas gaf aan waar de bezienswaardigheden waren maar ook praktische informatie zoals de aangepaste toiletten. We vonden het echt jammer dat we afscheid moesten nemen van de hele familie. Maar we gaan zeker terug. Ik kan het echt iedereen aanraden om naar C en A appartementen te gaan. Het is te boeken via buitengewoonreizen.nl Hierbij wil ik Andreas, Eva en Chris bedanken voor de geweldige vakantie die wij hebben gehad.

We had a fantastic time with Chris,
Eva,Andreas and family. It was the first holiday since becoming a
wheelchair user. All the facilities are waiting for us an were perfect.
So we used the monkey poon and it was very easy to turn into the bed. We
hired an electric scooter so that we could make a walk every day.
Everything into the house was perfect: the bathroom was spacious enough
to maneuver around and it was fine to have a shower-sitting.
Everything was perfect. Eva's breakfast
and home-made cakes in the afternoon were to die for. We had a wonderful
time and next year we will come back.
Jim Morrison Guest's Residence: UK Date Signed: 27th August 2005 Dear Chris,
Eva, Andreas and all your lovely family, The warm welcome from you and your family makes us immediately feel at home and relaxed in your Polis oasis. The beautiful pool surrounded by all itsspectacular plants and trees is the perfect place to unwind. Tom and Robbie loved the pool so much. The pool hoist meant that Robbie could access the pool easily and safely and was swimming 5 lengths by the end of the holiday! It was lovely to have the adjoining studios which have been refurbished beautifully. It meant that the boys could have some space away from us but we were still close at hand. The spacious toilets/bathrooms make it easy to transfer from wheel chair to shower chair. The hospitality laid on by your family is second to none - the barbeques, breakfasts etc. But we do have one complaint - we have all put on weight thanks to the delicious cakes served-up by Eva at the pool each afternoon!! The whole holiday was made truly special and complete by meeting up again with our friends from last year - Helen, Nigel, Liam, Amy and Kathy - just perfect. Thank you all once again, love Trace, Jim, Tom and Robbie xxxx Guest's Name:

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