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.

Hi Chris
I would like to thankyou and your family, and of course the adopted thorpe family for making Eddies and our stay a enjoyable one. It was amazing, I will return to cyprus one day, it may not be with Eddie and Elaine, but I will return, and when I do I will call in to see you all.
I dont know if I have read this somewhere but its sort of fits the feeling of our stay,
"I have met many great men, but it takes a greater man, to make the dreams of men come true."
Thank you again, Chris.
Take care,
Love Dave, Eddie and Elaine

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 !!

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
Thanks again for another great holiday.  It gets better every year – and I get lazier every year!  We just about managed to drag ourselves away from the pool to go down to the village each evening.  It’s so good to come to a place where you know that the facilities are just what you need – it takes away any worries you might have and I know that Mike feels safe which means it’s a real holiday for me too.  It was great to meet up with friends again and we can’t wait to see you all again next year.

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

Once again we came to cyprus, and once again we had a great time. The family were, as always so freindly and helpful. We had some great nights at the complex. Chris' dads adapted taxi (they now have a new one) and all the equipment that we loaned were brilliant. Any extra equipment that we needed was available on arrival e.g bed rails etc. Chris and his family are always on hand to help with any problems that may occur. An example of this was when the tyre on my sisters wheelchair punctured, Andreas sorted the problem with ease.
We met some great people at the complex who made our stay more memorable and enjoyable in fact we are hoping to meet up next year.
Polis itself was also inproved in regards to more ramps two new resturants one of which had a complete refurbishment to cater for disabled people (THE ROYAL), it was totally stylish with excellant disabled toilets and is due to have a lift installed to take wheelchairs to the roof tarrace (I can't wait!) Also the beach path was completed and made an excellant walk.
All in all another superb holiday which I would recommend to anyone, and we shall certainly be returning soon.
thanks for the great times Di, Jan and Jen

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.

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!

Hi Chris and family,
zum dritten Mal sind wir dieses Jahr nach Zypern gekommen. Dieses Mal die zweite Hälfte vom Monat März. Wir haben es nicht bereut. Jeder Aufenthalt in Polis ist ein neues "Highlight" für uns. Jedes Mal gibt es neue positive Überraschungen. Heuer war es die neue Zentralheizung, denn abends kann es im März noch recht kühl sein. So war es sehr angenehm nach Sonnenuntergang ein kuschelig warmes Studio zu haben. Auch der neue Weg vom Campingplatz bis Lakki war der absolute Hammer. Wo sonst kann ich mit meinem Mann (Tetraplegiker) mitten durch die Natur, den Strand entlang einen ausgedehnten Spaziergang machen. Das Ziel war meist eine hervorragende Fischtaverne in Lakki. Auch die Vegetation im März war überwältigend. Der Blütenduft von Orangen und Zitronen- bäumen war fast schon betäubend.
Die hervorragende Betreuung der ganzen Familie von Chris ist beinahe schon selbst- verständlich. Wenn man das dritte Mal da ist, fühlt man sich beinahe zur Familie gehörend.
Dazu kommt, daß wir wieder einige sehr nette Menschen kennengelernt haben, wie man sie nur bei Chris treffen kann. Auch das mehr als freundschaftliche Miteinander beim Barbecue, das sehr international war, war ein weiteres "Highlight". Wenn es nur weltweit so klappen würde.
Da mein Mann die extreme Sommerhitze nicht verträgt, wird der Frühling in Zypern unser bevorzugter Reisetermin bleiben und es wird ganz bestimmt ein viertes Mal geben, wenn unsere Gesundheit es zuläßt.
Liebe Grüße an Dich Lieber Chris und Deine liebe Familie. Auch alle die mit uns die schöne Zeit genießen konnten grüßen wir recht herzlich.

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!

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.

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 must thank you! This was the first time we have been to Cyprus we were very impressed with the apartment, it was very clean and wheel chair accessible throughout and there was even a seat in the shower!  The pool was lovely and hoist was a bonus but I managed to use the steps and they were fine.

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.

Dear Chris,

Thank you very much for a lovely holiday.  Paul and I both really enjoyed
ourselves.  The studio was really spacious and very wheelchair friendly - as was the entire site.  Paul would like to say that the good parts for him was having the opportunity to meet and get to know different people in a supportive environment, the friendship of the family, and of course the lift into the fantastic pool which made such a difference to his holiday. Also being away from the big resorts but near to Polis Village which still has a 'being on holiday' appeal with its many restaurants and shops.
I loved everything, it was so relaxing and easy going.  You, Eva and Andreas
were so helpful and you ensured that all your guests got to know each other and encouraged friendships.  The other guests staying at the same time as Paul andI were all really nice and helped make our holiday special. We will remember with pleasure the boat trips, visits to concerts, barbecues and meals out together that you organised and we look forward to doing it all again next year.
kind regards to everyone
who know us and best wishes to you and your Mum and Dad.  Do keep in touch.

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,

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.

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

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!)
 
'Notes for newcomers:
  • Pack clothes that are comfortable - you are likely to eat a lot of delicious food including Evas hearty and varied breakfasts
  • The pool heats up incrementally every day (as does the weather) - in July it's like a warm bath, in November it's a one off and not to be repeated stiff-lipped British experience for the foolhardy only - we find May is perfect and the hoist really does work
  • The sun is stronger than you think but the chmist is excellent and well-equipped for anything you've forgotten
  • smaller wheelchairs can clear the very nice old jewelery shop doors (just!)
  • Paphos Market - well worth a morning visit
  • I took two twelve year olds last year and could sit in the sqaure in Polis with a cold beer whilst they wandered around knowing that they were completely safe and would be welcomed everywhere
  • Be sure to book well in advance - the word is getting out!
Love to all

Hi Chris
Our second trip to C&A Apartments in May 2006 was even better than the first.  It was planned as a 60th  birthday treat for Mike, but we’ve got a taste for two holidays a year now and are looking forward to coming back again next May.  We met old friends and made new ones and the welcome from Chris, Eva and Andreas was wonderful.  Good job I don’t have your pancakes and home made marmalade every day Eva – I’d be enormous!   With the help of your flotation jacket Chris, Mike has rediscovered the delight of swimming – thank you!
  It is a really relaxing holiday for us both.  Normally when we go away, Mike is less independent than at home as he has to get used to his surroundings, but the attention to detail at C&A Apartments, as well as the family atmosphere, makes it a real home from home.  I can relax knowing that Mike has all the facilities he needs so it is a real holiday for us both.  Can’t wait to come back!

Elaine and Mike Tunbridge

An excellent place to stay in an excellent location.   All facilities are within easy walking distance. Chris, Andreas and Eva provide a warm and welcoming atmosphere and Eva’s home made cakes are just what you need with a nice cup of tea after a hard day in the sun! The accommodation has excellent facilities for people with disabilities and the staff will always go that extra mile to ensure that your stay is first class.

Thankyou very much for making our stay with you so comfortable last week. Of course, I knew what to expect having been in 2005 but I bought with me 5 different people this time, each with different needs and abilities. I really appreciate the efforts you went to to provide us with the extra equipment we needed to assist us around the appartment. ie: the bed rails and toilet seats. I am already looking forward to coming again in June 2007.

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.

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!
Erika und Ralf aus Frankenberg / Sachsen

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

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

Dear Chris Eva and Family,
Last night our evening paper The Portsmouth evening news ran an article about holidaying in Cyprus,   It waxed lyrical about the beautiful Troodos mountains , cycling in the Akamas Peninsular exploring the lovely little coves and beaches, and enjoying wonderful food , but it didn't mention the one really important thing, the warmth friendliness and kindness of the people.   If anyone really would like to experience the best that Cyprus has to offer look no where else but C & A ap
artments, a small oasis in a lovely village, with the best family you will ever find (except of cause for Chris) but then nothing can be perfect !!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you my dearest friends for my 5th perfect holiday with you,  see you next year.

It was in November that I was able to visit Eva, Andrew and Chris in Polis. After many wonderful stories, looking at beautiful photos and descriptions from my boyfriend Didi, I at last had the opportunity to visit C & A Appartments. I was visiting Cyprus as a tour guide with 30 German guests, staying in Lemesos and was lucky to have 2/3 days off. Didi was staying at C & A’s during my second week on Cyprus.
I drove over to Polis one afternoon very excited about what lay ahead of me. I had already seen many beautiful areas of the island by coach and driving across from Lemesos to Polis in a hired car was very enjoyable. Didi met me at the edge of the town and he directed me to C & A’s.
Blue skies, warm air and a beautiful garden with lemon and orange trees greeted me. At the back of the house, the swimming pool amongst flower pots, palm trees, sun lounges and a small bar. A hidden paradise…an invitation to relax and enjoy ones surroundings as well as  Eva’s, Andrew’s and Chris’s warm hospitality.
I was very happy to be in Polis and felt at home straight away. In the morning we were called up for breakfast…breakfast??? It was a feast…together with other guests we ate scrambled eggs and halloumi cheese, toast and jam, musli cornflakes and chatted about all sorts. It was very difficult for me to leave the homely surroundings in the evening.
I look forward to visiting C & A’s again and would like to thank Eva, Andrew and Chris once again for making Didi and myself feel most welcome. 
Wishing you all a very Happy Christmas, health and happiness in 2006.
Warmest regards, Eileen ( Dieter Ringel’s girlfriend)

Hey Chris, Eva, Andrew and all my other cyprus friends...

  • "Zum wiederholten Male war ich überwältigt von der Gastfreundschaft bei Eva, Chris und Andrew.... 
  • Kann nur bestätigen das nichts übertrieben ist bei der hervorragenden ausführlichen Internet Vorstellung von Chris...
  • Es dauert nicht lange und die sonst üblichen Lasten des Alltags sind vergessen und die Entspannung und Erholung beginnt...
  • Jeder Tag beginnt man mit einem Frühstück am Pool welches keine Wünsche offen lässt..

Hilfreiche und immer zutreffende  Tips welche Eva und Chris während des Frühstücks geben erleichtern die restliche Planung für den jeweiligen Tagesablauf... >>>>wo sind die besten Tavernen,  wo kann man sich ein Fahrzeug mieten, was ist besonders Sehenswert in der Polis Region...und..und .und...

  • Kommt man nachmittags wieder zurück in das " kleine Paradies" rund um den Pool  der C&A Appartmentanalge wird man schon wieder verwöhnt mit selbsgebackenem Kuchen und Kaffee, Tee oder sonstigen Getränken,  welches für die Gäste am Pool bereitsteht....

Hi Chris and Eva,
A very short week with you and your hospitable family was an experience we were glad not to miss and I am sure we will never forget these days. The family atmosphere in your house was so fantastic that we felt most welcome.
At
the Easter barbecue with your family and all the guests we could enjoy Eva's great cookery (I can praise her cuisine even though I am a picky eater!). On this occasion we may try your father's mysterious pickled plant.
Whatever we want
ed, you wish to make it real and no matter how many questions my mother had you always had an open ear for everything.
Next time I come with a swimsuit and we will plunge into the water after 14
years and after this I will enjoy your raised sunbeds again.
Many thanks for everything from
Dorothee and Mechtild

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

“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.
De sporten die Pauline dankzij deze organisatie kon doen waren ook uniek ( diepzee duiken, in zee zwemmen en parasailing) Alles werd voor je geregeld  
De opzet van het complex, de sfeer, de aanpassingen en organisatie zijn voor zover ik weet enig in zijn soort.Absoluut een aanrader voor wie er eens tussenuit wil en niet goed durft. Wees alleen voorzichtig met het transport van de elektrische rolstoel.  Als je niet veel aanpassingen hebt kun je er beter een huren bij Chris, zorg anders voor duidelijke instructies over hoe deze behandeld  moet worden en vastgezet in het vliegtuig. Dat voorkomt veel narigheid.
Heel veel plezier in Cyprus bij Chris Eva en Andreas, wij hebben genoten.

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)
You have created a wonderful Oasis for the people with Disabilities to visit, where i think for the first time disabled and able bodied people were treated the same. As other people have said, your family were wonderful and nothing was to much for them and yes your mother is a great baker and a wonderful cook and i just dont know how she puts up with you, for while she was dealing with the guest and just maybe trying to get a relaxing cup of coffee what did we all hear, (was your soft dulcet tones Calling  Maw!!!!) and for your dad Andreas what a taxi driver, he must know the roads in Cyprus, like the back of his hands or as they say "or as someone said to me he could drive blindfold and would still get us to our destination" but as long as im not in the taxi when he does "It was great meeting you and all of your family espeacially on our last night at the barbeque, Issy (the Gaffer) and i have not had a laugh like that in a long time, and as the morning of our departure, you and your family even made that special by the way you sent us off with true love and affection. I hope and pray that we will meet again until then we wish you and yours all the very very best from Glasgow

"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

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.

Dear Chris, Eva, Andreas and all your lovely family,
Thank you once again for a superb holiday. We had such a wonderful time last year and found everything laid on to
accommodate our youngest son Robbie, 11, (who has Muscular Dystrophy) that we just had to come back!
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

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
