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

Det här är ett mycket unikt hotell för fysiskt handikappade med
medföljande hjälp.
Det är inte något vårdhem.
Det är nytt, frächt, välutrustat. Du kan hyra de hjälpmedel du
behöver.
Det är en härlig omtänksam familj du kommer till, stämningen är varm
och vänlig.
Vi är inte handikappade utan hittade hit av en slump.
Vi har nu varit här för sjätte året på besök, och det är lika
fantastiskt.
Om du har frågor kan du maila mig (hans.beminge@swipnet.se)

Liebe Eva, lieber Chris und die gesamte Familie,
ein wunderschöner, 2-wöchiger Urlaub ist viel zu schnell zu Ende gegangen. Ich möchte euch allen von ganzem Herzen für diese eindrückliche Zeit danken! Das neue Haus mit den großzügigen Appartements ist sehr gut gelungen. Alles was man zum Wohlfühlen braucht ist vorhanden, das Bad, der große Wohnraum und das geräumige Schlafzimmer sind einfach gut durchdacht. Das Beste aber ist die Atmosphäre in eurem Haus! Dieser liebevolle und empathische Umgang mit den Gästen vermittelt ein Gefühl von Geborgenheit und Toleranz! Ich habe wunderbare Erinnerungen an die Zeit mit euch, an die Bootsfahrt, an den Ausflug zu Aphrodites Bad, die herrlich Gegend um Polis und Zypern. Die Möglichkeiten die bei euch geboten werden, auch ohne Auto, die Insel kennen zu lernen, sind einfach toll. Ein besonderes Lob geht an Eva und Nitza die uns mit super Essen und Backwaren verwöhnt haben und nicht nur die, alle, Andreas, Chris und Chris, Carol, Mandana, Andrew, Sarah und Dimitri der beste Skippo Spieler von Polis, sowie Kuma haben diesen Urlaub zu einem einmaligen Erlebnis werden lassen. ICH DANKE EUCH DAFÜR! Und ich komme wieder, versprochen!

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

Dear C & A Tourist Apartments
Our holiday with you was more than we ever
imagined possible. The new apartments/studios were amazingly designed
to make life easier in and around them, especially for the wheelchair
user. Wide doors, 'space', roll in shower with fixed shower seat, and
even rise and fall grab rails at either side of the toilet!
The pool was great and even had a hoist,
what a treat for my stepdad Pete.
From landing at Pafos, and been greeted by
C & A's accessible taxi, we knew we were going to be well looked
after. Andreas had the powerchair we'd booked through GC Paraquip.
What dedicated service.
We had all our breakfast catered for in
the new extensions dining room...a well deserved treat for my mum.
We had a BBQ, this was great, all home
cooked and catered for by the family at C & A. Highly recommend it !
We enjoyed a stroll to Latchi on the
accessible beach walk and went on the glass bottomed boat, even this had
a hoist on board
We are so much looking forward to a return
visit in October, cant wait.
On behalf of me and my family, thank you
for making so many things possible,
Rach, Jay, Dawn and Pete

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

We arrived back in Bristol safe and
sound.
The only problem with our holiday in
Cyprus was that it was not long enough and we had to return to a
frosty England. We could not have asked for anything more; the
apartment had all we needed Pam was able to manage all the
facilities and was particularly impressed with the bathroom and
shower. Sitting in the sun, enjoying the company of you, your family
and the other holidaymaker was just great.
Andreas was very helpful, having a
minibus with a lift that works was a great relief (so often her in
the UK we have to put up with ramps that do not wok on our unlevel
surfaces and are to steep). The excursion we did he was very
attentive and flexible in meeting our specific needs, we saw so much
more of the island and its life that you could not get on a set tour.
We shall certainly look to visit you
again, may be not next year as we already have other plans and have
already passed on your flyers to our local MS Centre which Pam
attends and have mentioned you to other who would welcome your type
of holiday.
Good luck with completion of the
building work, best wishes to you and all your family and collegues.
bye for now

Hi chris and family,
we arrived safely back in England,but had
to scrape the ice of our van,before we could drive it.Dan would like to
say a few words.
Iwould like to thank Chris and his family for
making my first holiday abroad one to remember,you could not have been
any more helpful,we were always greeted with a warm smile from Chris,and
the guided tours with Andreas were especially informative,his local
knowledge of the fruits of the forest was very interesting,i will
certainly be recommending your apartments to my friends,the only
negative point was when we tried to go paragliding,i think for the more
severely disabled a visit to the centre to discuss the procedures of
paragliding first would be more appropriate,we were a bit rushed and the
people on the boat were a little afraid of my frailty,other than that it
was 10 out of ten for your staff and facilities,hope everything goes
well with your extension.
yours thankfully Dan and steve

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

We had a great fortnight . We got soaked in rainstorms twice, but that was hardly the fault of the folk at C&A! Hugh and Vivien James

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

Det här är ett mycket unikt hotell för fysiskt handikappade med
medföljande hjälp.
Det är inte något vårdhem.
Det är nytt, frächt, välutrustat. Du kan hyra de hjälpmedel du
behöver.
Det är en härlig omtänksam familj du kommer till, stämningen är varm
och vänlig.
Vi är inte handikappade utan hittade hit av en slump.
Vi har nu varit här för sjätte året på besök, och det är lika
fantastiskt.

Liebe Eva, lieber Chris und die gesamte Familie,
ein wunderschöner, 2-wöchiger Urlaub ist viel zu schnell zu Ende gegangen. Ich möchte euch allen von ganzem Herzen für diese eindrückliche Zeit danken! Das neue Haus mit den großzügigen Appartements ist sehr gut gelungen. Alles was man zum Wohlfühlen braucht ist vorhanden, das Bad, der große Wohnraum und das geräumige Schlafzimmer sind einfach gut durchdacht. Das Beste aber ist die Atmosphäre in eurem Haus! Dieser liebevolle und empathische Umgang mit den Gästen vermittelt ein Gefühl von Geborgenheit und Toleranz! Ich habe wunderbare Erinnerungen an die Zeit mit euch, an die Bootsfahrt, an den Ausflug zu Aphrodites Bad, die herrlich Gegend um Polis und Zypern. Die Möglichkeiten die bei euch geboten werden, auch ohne Auto, die Insel kennen zu lernen, sind einfach toll. Ein besonderes Lob geht an Eva und Nitza die uns mit super Essen und Backwaren verwöhnt haben und nicht nur die, alle, Andreas, Chris und Chris, Carol, Mandana, Andrew, Sarah und Dimitri der beste Skippo Spieler von Polis, sowie Kuma haben diesen Urlaub zu einem einmaligen Erlebnis werden lassen. ICH DANKE EUCH DAFÜR! Und ich komme wieder, versprochen!

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

Dear C & A Tourist Apartments
Our holiday with you was more than we ever
imagined possible. The new apartments/studios were amazingly designed
to make life easier in and around them, especially for the wheelchair
user. Wide doors, 'space', roll in shower with fixed shower seat, and
even rise and fall grab rails at either side of the toilet!
The pool was great and even had a hoist,
what a treat for my stepdad Pete.
From landing at Pafos, and been greeted by
C & A's accessible taxi, we knew we were going to be well looked
after. Andreas had the powerchair we'd booked through GC Paraquip.
What dedicated service.
We had all our breakfast catered for in
the new extensions dining room...a well deserved treat for my mum.
We had a BBQ, this was great, all home
cooked and catered for by the family at C & A. Highly recommend it !
We enjoyed a stroll to Latchi on the
accessible beach walk and went on the glass bottomed boat, even this had
a hoist on board
We are so much looking forward to a return
visit in October, cant wait.
On behalf of me and my family, thank you
for making so many things possible,
Rach, Jay, Dawn and Pete

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

We arrived back in Bristol safe and
sound.
The only problem with our holiday in
Cyprus was that it was not long enough and we had to return to a
frosty England. We could not have asked for anything more; the
apartment had all we needed Pam was able to manage all the
facilities and was particularly impressed with the bathroom and
shower. Sitting in the sun, enjoying the company of you, your family
and the other holidaymaker was just great.
Andreas was very helpful, having a
minibus with a lift that works was a great relief (so often her in
the UK we have to put up with ramps that do not wok on our unlevel
surfaces and are to steep). The excursion we did he was very
attentive and flexible in meeting our specific needs, we saw so much
more of the island and its life that you could not get on a set tour.
We shall certainly look to visit you
again, may be not next year as we already have other plans and have
already passed on your flyers to our local MS Centre which Pam
attends and have mentioned you to other who would welcome your type
of holiday.
Good luck with completion of the
building work, best wishes to you and all your family and collegues.
bye for now

Hi chris and family,
we arrived safely back in England,but had
to scrape the ice of our van,before we could drive it.Dan would like to
say a few words.
Iwould like to thank Chris and his family for
making my first holiday abroad one to remember,you could not have been
any more helpful,we were always greeted with a warm smile from Chris,and
the guided tours with Andreas were especially informative,his local
knowledge of the fruits of the forest was very interesting,i will
certainly be recommending your apartments to my friends,the only
negative point was when we tried to go paragliding,i think for the more
severely disabled a visit to the centre to discuss the procedures of
paragliding first would be more appropriate,we were a bit rushed and the
people on the boat were a little afraid of my frailty,other than that it
was 10 out of ten for your staff and facilities,hope everything goes
well with your extension.
yours thankfully Dan and steve

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

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

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

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...

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

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!

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,

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.

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.

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

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

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

david gildner Have just finished our second successful holiday at C&A Apartments between the 17 and 31 of May . Again Chris and family made our time in Cyprus a wonderful experience. From the comfortable and totally accessible apartment to the hire of the equipment provided by Chris, in our case an electric wheelchair and a bed stick. Then of course the friendly help and advice from Chris and all his family all added up to a perfect holiday. David & Susan Gildner.

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

'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!)

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. 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!

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.

On this occasion we may try your father's mysterious pickled plant. Whatever we wanted, 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.

“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.

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

We would just like to give you an enormous
Thanks and a thumbs up for all your help to ensure we had the time of
our lives in Cyprus.
We cannot express our thanks for the
thought that has gone into your accommodation, especially with the
wheelchair user in mind. Pete has been wheelchair bound for over 20
years due to MS, and has no lower mobility, impaired vision etc...and
until we stayed with you and your family, we never thought a holiday
like this would have ever been possible. The ramps, the wide access to
studio's, the adapted shower rooms, and the apartment within which we
stayed was fantastically thought out. It's been over 30 years since
Pete had ever been in the sea...and with all your carefull adaptations
to many accessible areas this was made possible. He was lowered into
the sea from a specially adapted seat and hoist and he had a brilliant
time dipping in the 'Med'.
The Pool played a very important part in
our stay at C & A Apartments......this meant that with the hoist and a
special floating 'bed' my husband was able to enjoy a dip in the pool to
keep cool. just like the rest of us....Well Done, Chris...you made our
holiday a holiday to remember. Not forgetting Eva's magnificently
delicious home made cakes for afternoon teas, and Andreas' sizzling
barbecues.....cant wait to revisit next year......started packing
already and have only been back home 24 hours.....Love to you all and
thank you so very much, from the bottom of our hearts for such a truly
memorable time.

Guys, Guest's Name:Trevor

decided to take my mother on holiday with us. She has
been in a wheelchair for six years and has not travelled
abroad during this time. We were all extremely concerned
how we would cope with the whole issues of travelling
abroad.
The accommodation side was easy, we found
Chris and his family. Superb accommodation with
everything my mother required for her stay. Nothing was
too much trouble and the whole family made us feel
extremely welcome. My two children aged 10 and 8 found
nothing to moan about and enjoyed the pool and the local
beach.
The town itself is very nice. Chris has
worked hard to ensure
that facilities for the disabled are being put into
place, a ramp for wheelchairs on the beach and toilets.
The restaurant managers are all used to the requirements
of wheelchair users and are extremely helpful and will
assist with moving chairs, table as required.
To sum up our holiday experience, we had
an extremely relaxed and enjoyable holiday and my mother
is already checking her dates for next year.

you all again in October, take care love Rachel & Dan.
chrisandjoyce Guest's Residence: UK Date Signed: 22nd June 2005 Its always sad to return from a good holiday
especially when you have found a totally suitable place to
spend some time in the sun. As anyone who has to consider a
disability will know, not every "disabled accessable" claim
is what it should be, but not only are the newly refurbished
rooms now totally suitable but the pool area with its raised
sunbeds and pool hoist mean disabled and carer alike can enjoy
peace of mind and a really relaxing holiday.
If that were not enough you then have Christo
and his extended family and friends who are the icing on the
cake as far as we are concerned. Even on our first visit (this
was our 3rd in just over 1 year) we were treated as family
and now Joyce will e-mail Christo before we travel and
sort out a B-B-Q evening as you would your own friends and
family.
Its very hard to say just what it is that
makes the C&A apartments experience such an enjoyable one ,
but if Chris and Co could bottle it they would all be
millionaires! Thanks once again guys. Guest's Name: karl.nussbaum Guest's Residence: Switzerland Date Signed: 21st June 2005

drinking Dutch coffee with Eva and Andreas and visiting the Polis park with
Chris on the scooters (historic moment, his first time). The oranges
from the trees in the garden where excellent, (juiceful and sweet) even
as the home made lemonade,
cakes, and oliveoil. My birthday
party and present from Dimitri was a complete surprise, I'll never
forget, Thanks to you all. We love to come again. See you later!!!

Daan We hebben met onze groep een fantastische week gehad hier op Cyrpus. het appartement en de studio's zijn met alle voorzieningen uitgerust en ook het zwembad met de lift was een genot. De ontvangst door Chris, Eva en Andreas was geweldig en ook de rest van de week werden we ondergedompeld in hun gastvrijheid! Verder hebben we genoten van uitstapjes naar Pafos, een rit door het Troodos gebergte en de zee die op 20 minuten loopafstand ligt. De afsluitende boottocht op de dag van ons vertrek was ook geweldig, zeker met het zwemmen in de zee! We hebben genoten van alles. Chris, Eva en Andreas: ga zo door! Guest's Name:

Where do I begin? Having just returned from a wonderful weeks
holiday at C&A Apartments, with Chris, Eva, Andreus & the rest
of the family. So many high points, from wonderful people,
Fantastic food & the apartments are designed with such thought.Nothing
was too much trouble. Eva's breakfast & home-made cakes in the
afternoon, were to die for. Andreus knowledge on the trip to the
Troodos mountains & Kykkos monastery was second to none, with
plenty of stops on the way for refreshments, toilet & photos.
Going out with Chris & the rest of the crowd was a scream.
Tables raised at some restaurants for wheelchairs & waiters
eager to help. Our holiday was also made a lot easier regarding
wheelchairs, having only taken my sister's manual wheelchair, we
hired an electric one from Chris, this made our holiday easier &
also gave my sister a little more independence. (Chris as an
array of chairs & scooters for you to hire) Please visit Chris's
other website for items to hirer.
www.paraquip.com.cy The
biggest highlight was seeing Janet being lowered into the pool
on the hoist & floating around with not a care in the world. But,
saying good bye was the hardest, there were a few tears on
parting with Eva. We will defiantly be going back next year to
see our new found family & friends.

We have just had the most wonderful two weeks holiday in the C & A Apartments, were Chris, Eva and Andreas proved to be the perfect hosts. Nothing was to much trouble and they did every thing to make our holiday exceed all our expectations. The apartments situated just a few minutes from the lovely traffic free square of Polis with its friendly cafes, shops and restaurants is the perfect base for a stress free holiday. If you have a disability and have had doubts about taking a holiday abroad, take a look through the guest book and look at the website and book with confidence – you wont be disappointed.

Dear Chris, Eva and Andreas.
We have only stayed at your fantastic place twice-one night in april
2004 and one night in april 2005- and already we feel like old
friends! And when we visit Cyprus next year we will certainly come
back again. C&A is a perfect place to stay in, and its owners are
really lovely people!!
Polis is a very good place for us who are so interested in the
beautiful Akamas area.

Hi Chris, Eva &
Andreas, Guest's Name:
philip weaver This was my first visit abroad
since becoming a wheelchair user and I was somewhat concerned as
to accessibility and getting around (both inside and out).
However I need not have worried as
the facilities were perfect; infact some areas were better than
I have at home!!!. There were ramps everywhere and the apartment
was spacious enough to maneuver around easily in a wheelchair,
the bathroom was spacious too, and it was great to have a shower
- sitting down!!
Chris has a wide range of chairs,
power scooters, walking aids and much more, that are available
for hire at a reasonable price.
Chris and his family made us feel
very welcome and were happy to stop and chat to us, even though
they appeared very busy. Chris found us plenty of places to
visit and several restaurants all of which were accessible.
We only have one complaint......that it was too cold to go swimming! Julie and I had a good time and we
have recommended it to our friends and we hope to be back again

Our holiday would have been impossible had it not been for the thought that you’ve put into your apartment complex, making is perfectly suitable for wheelchair users. The hoist to get disabled people into the pool is a brilliant idea (even if the water is a little cold at this time of year!) and we can’t wait to return to visit you all again. Guest's Name:

Our family spent a fantastic two
weeks at C&A Apartments. The hospitality of the Neophytou family is exceptional.
From the homeliness of Eva's cooking, the wisdom and knowledge about Cypus of
Andreas and the "everything is possible" attitude of Chris, it is the perfect
holiday for everyone. No-one should be concerned about any disabilty as their
positive approach will find the answer.
I wish the Neophytou family every success for the future and hope that others
learn from them.

hello all of you,
I only can say thank you for everything. Since I have to use a wheelchair this
has been the most wonderful experience - I felt like a member of the family. as
I have seen a few places before and I am rather critical, but this place is
exceptional, one does feel safe and does get every comfort. last year i started
to travel on my own - without company. at the appartment and at the airport i
felt like something special, but of course in a good way. Next year - if the
political situation is not going to a worse change, I definitely will came back
to this place - to the always cheerful eva, nutcracking andreas and of course to
chris, who does manage the 'new' life very well.and to all the activities they
offer - one does get more confident in oneself. this is the way how holidays
should be - relaxing.
thank you again!

Hello All,
Mo and I have just returned from a holiday ay C&A Tourist Apartments in Cyprus.
It is a small family-run concern consisting of eight 1 or 2 bedroom studios and
a 3 bedroom apartment. I have been fortunate enough be able to travel around the
world with my wheelchair, and have stayed in many hotels and resorts with
varying degrees of accessible accommodation. I can say without hesitation that
this was the most enjoyable worry-free week I have spent anywhere.
Andreus and his wife Eva, along with their son Chris (Who has Friedreich’s
Ataxia like me) run a very friendly and well organised location for able-bodied
and disabled people alike. The main reason for their success in my opinion is
the small scale of the apartments. Instead of being a room number, you are made
to feel part of the family. All visitors are encouraged to mix & dine with
others bringing shy people comfortably out of their shells.
Accessibility has been the main driving force behind the design with roll-in
showers and handrails where they should be. A swimming pool with a hoist and
handrails is ideal to cool off in the very warm climate (I went in October!) To
complete a perfect holiday, there are various accessible excursions such as a
boat trip with a specially designed hoist-chair to lower you over the side and
into the sea! Unbelievably, there is also a fully accessible parasailing trip! A
resident accessible taxi and rentals of electric scooters and other such
equipment make C&A Tourist Apartments the complete holiday for all.

the highlight of the holiday. I was lucky enough to find the Evas Apartments
website before leaving the UK, and met up with Chris once in Cyprus. We had a
whole day of activities, including a boat trip with a gorgeous swim in the sea,
and parasailing. Since an accident last year left me confined to a wheelchair,
these were things I thought were no longer possible. Chris showed me that
anything is possible! All his hard work has meant that Polis is a much more
accessible place for wheelchair users, and the ramp down on the beach is
brilliant.

This is the second time of
visiting C & A Apartments in Polis and have found the features in the complex
have changed for the better ie:- the higher sun beds & handrails around the
swimming pool & the taxi service supplied by Chris father Andreas. This has
made the already superb facilities which were installed last year made the
holiday we had last year [which we could not fault in any way or form] so much
more pleasurable, I have Motor Neurone Disease and I can not move my legs
anymore, the extra facilities made my holiday so much more pleasurable than
last year as we were able to get out more because of Andreas’s disabled taxi
which ment I did not have to leave my electric wheelchair. So I can only thank
Chris, Eva, Andreas, Arnue for the help they gave us for a superb and
excellent holiday

We all had a great time, the
facilities made it easy to enjoy a holiday without worry.
The hoist at the pool was great, rooms/bathrooms easy access.
We were all made to feel at home at C and A. Infact it was a bit like going to
visit my own mum the way we were welcomed.
The climax for me was seeing my son raise from his wheelchair into the air when
we went parasailing!!!
All i can say is what you see on the web site is all as it seems.
Genuine and a great place for a holiday. Polis was nice and although the
restaurants fail in there facilities for less abled people, there is a Public
Toilet for special needs in the town square which is only 2 minutes from most
restaurants,and thus no problem.

Hi Chris,
Thanks again to you, Eva, Andreas, Nitsa (excuse the spelling!) and, of
My family and I have just returned from one of the best holidays we have ever had. We spent a week with Chris, Eva and Andreas at their beautiful holiday apartments but we wish we had booked up for two weeks as one week was definitely not long enough. We were greeted at the airport by Andreas in his fantastic taxi that allowed our 5 year old disabled son to travel safely in his wheelchair. We arrived at the complex 45 minutes later, to be greeted by Chris and his mum Eva. To say they made us feel welcome is an understatement!!! There are so many happy memories of our holiday that i could go on for ever about them, but the highlights would have to be the delicious barbeque that was laid on by Eva and Andreas, parasailing with my son, going out every night with Chris to lovely restaurants and meeting some wonderful people but most of all how easy everything was. The apartments are perfect for making a holiday as a disabled person, or with a disabled person as stress free as possible. We have already booked our holiday for next year, but this time we are coming for 2 weeks- so look out Chris!!!!

be back at work for a rest! What with going to watch the Euro 2004 football into
the early hours with Chris, then catching a few hours sleep until we were up
again at 5.30 for the sun rise swim with Eva. In between trying to fit in
snorkelling, biking & walking.
Don't let this put you off going, it is possible to spend your time relaxing and
chilling out . Chris, Eva & Andreas are the most perfect hosts you can ever wish
for. Nothing is ever too much trouble, they are always willing to please. The
atmosphere at C&A is nothing like I have ever experienced before, you will make
friends with lots of lovely people who will enrich your life forever, it is very

We have just
got back to the UK, after a truly wonderful week with Eva, Chris and Andreas.
From the moment we arrived at the airport and were greeted by Andreas with a
huge placard with our names on, to the wonderful parting BBQ put on by the
family on our last night, we felt as though we were more 'house-guests' than
visitors. The apartments are beautiful, the pool surrounded by lemon and orange
trees and Eva's breakfasts to die for! Getting to know everyone else that was
staying was great, and we particularly enjoyed our boat trip and blue-lagoon
swim with Eva, Chris and many of the other guests.
Polis offers a wide range of places to eat, at a reasonable price and is handy
to lots of lovely beaches and places of interest. We nearly always go
self-catering, liking the freedom it offers one and the privacy. However, the
diferentiating factor from all other self-catering places we have stayed in was
the fact that we really DID feel part of the family and that was all down to the
wonderful atmosphere of the place - it is QUITE UNIQUE. It was very hard to tear
ourselves away, and my eyes were strangely moist as I hugged Eva good-bye.
Oh, and by the way, neither of us are disabled. This is a place for anyone
looking for the perfect mix of relaxation, wonderful hosts, the opportunity to
mix with others if you want to, and yet enjoy the privacy of your own lovely
little apartment on the most beautiful island, with a wonderful family.

When you go back to a place you
always wonder if it will be as good, well this is our third time, but first time
we have ventured abroad with the grandchildren.
Our grandchildren are well travelled, America 3/4 times Spain and the Canaries
but they thought staying with Chris and his family was the best. To sum it up in
there words it was wonderful to be part of the family, to be able to go into
Polis on there own without any worries and the glass bottomed boat was real
cool.
For us it was everything we expected and more, thank you all for your welcome

Stayed with Chris and Eva for the last week of may 2004. This was my 18th birthday present. Went along with a mate Dave and we had a great time. Easy to get around, not much for the younger generation in polis itself but there is a go-karting place up the road and with Latch just 10 mins away there are plenty of watersports to get in to. Parasailing and Jetsking where what we tried and we were very pleased, price ain't to bad 18CY£ for parasailing and 25CY£ for 30 min on a jet bike. Latch Watersports are well qualified with PADI and are insured, fun with no hastle. If your looking for a nice place for a drink just 2mins round the corner for c&a is a bar called waterfall. Great prices and gud pool table. Bar staff freindly although don't understand English to well. The bar down at Polis beach is open almost all the time, always freindly, english people, and put on some gud entertainment most nights, music for all ages. Great for a piss up. Chris and Eva are really friendly people and are always there to help, i thank them for a great time, enjoyed every min.

We all know
what it's like trying to book a holiday that is going to suit our individual
needs.Surfing the net,phoning hotels and apartment complexes to be assured
everything is suitable only to find out on arrival that everything is not.Well
stop wasting time and get onto Chris and book a holiday in Cyprus, which is just
as it says on the website.But it's not just the many adaptations in and around
the apartments and complex which make a holiday at Chris and Eva's such a good
one.It is very hard to single out or put a finger on what it is, but everything
you read in this guest book is true.
Everyone will get something different from a holiday here, and from a friendship
with Chris,his parents,family and staff.For me it was knowing Joyce was able to
enjoy our holiday as much as myself and the fun we had with Chris on our
excursions,boat trip and meals out.One word of caution,Chris promised to have me
working for him during my stay and true to his word he did,but I can say never
before has it been such a pleasure to work on holiday and for such a great boss!
It's just a shame he would'nt take me on full time!!

We have just returned from a
wonderful week' s holiday staying with Chris, Eva and Andreas at their
apartments complex in Polis. It was lovely to meet Chris after exchanging so
many e-mails. I felt as though I was greeting an old friend.
The patio facing apartment was ideal for us, as it had plenty of space for
wheeling around. The beds were comfortable and just the right height for lateral
transfer, and the bathroom was well designed and spacious.
We had agreed that Ruth would not do any cooking at all, so we had breakfast by
the pool each morning (a wonderful range of dishes prepared by Eva) and went
into Polis for lunch and supper most days.
We soon realised that Chris had been hard at work to ensure that all the local
restaurants are wheelchair accessible. This was brilliant and make life much
easier and more enjoyable for us. Most of the pavements are dipped, although
people seem quite used to seeing wheelchairs bowling along the edge of the road.
In fact they are used to seeing people in wheelchairs generally and take it for
granted, a change from other places where everyone stares at you!
This was our first visit to Cyprus, the destination being determined by finding
an ideal holiday venue. I'm always looking out for places where you can hire
disability equipment, and there are very few of them, so we found ourselves
going to Cyprus.
We did not have a hire car, but instead we went out for two separate excursions
with Andreas. During our excursions into the mountains to see the monastery and
then to Paphos to see the mosaics, we were entertained by Andreas who knows
everything there is to know about the history, geography and economics of
Cyprus.
I can highly recommend the complex apartment itself, the town of Polis, and the
whole area of Western Cyprus. The weather in May was wonderful -- just right for
someone who doesn't like it too hot. The rest of the guests were fun and good
company, and it was nice to meet a different group of people. But best of all
was the delightful family who run the holiday complex. They are really quite
special people, and you must go meet them as soon as you can. But don't tell
everybody how wonderful and they are, or there may be no room for us next time
we want to go !

We spent 10 days in April 2004
having a wonderful time that was entirely due to the kindness, friendship and
help from Eva, Andreas and Chris. Nothing was too much bother.
The facilities are well arranged and support the needs of the disabled
traveller. This is especially evident in the pool with grip bars and an electric
hoist.
We had the honour to be among the first people to walk and ride across the new
beach "mat" giving direct access to the sea, a facility due to the perseverance
of Chris.
We loved the island and the climate, that was very benefical to Jackie, so we
decided to purchase a property. We needed to be on hand to keep Chris out of
mischief!

This was the best holiday we
have had in years. It was great to travel with the wheelchair in confidence we
would be ok at our destination - the apartment was just as described as was the
pool and the other facilities.
The Family made us feel welcome & comfortable from the start. Chris & Eva do
that bit extra to make sure you enjoy your break.
We would compare our stay to visiting family or old friends such was the rapport
and friendship extended to us by the family.
Chris is an inspiration to all and we expect him to be Mayor of Polis any day
soon, his family are very warm genuine people, we enjoyed every day and can't
wait to return.
Helen has Freidriechs Ataxia like Chris & we would not hesitate in recommending
the apartments to anyone considering Polis for a holiday.

had a fantastic time
staying at the Evas as a solo wheelchair user. Thank you Chris, Eva & the family
for making my stay very pleasurable. I was a little worried about travelling on
my own but didn't need to because Eva would always get something if I needed it.
So if anyone reading this is thinking of going away alone - it is possible
Many thanks Samantha (Sam)
