Hi Chris
First holiday to Cyprus enjoyed by all! Weather - hot, food
- excellent, accommodation/transfers - brilliant, family -
outstanding, you all made us feel so welcome. Tours not to
be missed. Swimming in the sea and watching the sun rise at
5.30am was a fantastic and seeing Tyron relaxing in the pool
and swimming on his own was priceless. Thanks for a great
holiday - hope to repeat very soon. - Lynda, Sandra, Tyron,

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

2010 Γεια σου Χρίστο
Ήταν η πρώτη φορά που η Άντρη μπόρεσε να χαρεί διακοπές από τότε που
κάθισε στην αναπηρική καρέκλα! Και αυτό χάρη σε σας! Μας άρεσε πολύ
το περιβάλλον, τόσο για την άνεση και τις ευκολίες για την Άντρη,
όσο και για την τόσο φιλική και οικογενειακή ατμόσφαιρα. Περάσαμε
θαυμάσια τόσο μέσα στα διαμερίσματα, όσο και στις εκδρομές μας. Τα
συγχαρητήρια στον κο Αντρέα που με τόση υπομονή, ευγένεια και μεράκι
έκανε όμορφες και άνετες τις εκδρομές μας! Αν είμαστε καλά από το
Θεό τώρα που σας ανακαλύψαμε δε θα σας χάσουμε! Καλή αντάμωση!
Πολλά χαιρετίσματα σε όλη την οικογένεια από Χριστίνα, Άντρη, Μαλού

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

Hi Chris
What a wonderful week we had at
your spacious and well equipped apartments. It is always
exciting to find out whether "suited for wheelchair users" is
in fact true but this time it turned out to be true. C&A is a
place worth a stay both because of the surroundings but most
certainly because of your and all your wonderful family. We felt
welcomed from the first moment.
We enjoyed Eva and Nitsas cooking
some of the days but also felt very welcomed at the nice
restaurants in Polis town. We shall certainly come back.

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

Dear Chris,
We had a wonderful time at your place! It
took us 2 connecting flights to get to Larnaca, but your father Andreas
awaited us there and made us feel comfortable right away. After a 2h
drive in his airconditioned wheelchair taxi with years of experience,
Andreas brought us to your place and we were welcomed like family. I
remember that it was quite hot that day, and we were quite exhausted
from the trip. We received a glas of homemade lemonade, and were
commanded to go straight into the pool, before doing anything else. I
have never experienced that those two things could refresh you that well!
After the swim and the drink, we enjoyed a very tasty dinner prepared by
the family chef-cooks Eva and Nitsa. Wonderful food, like I was used to
from my mother's and grandmother's kitchen. Accommodation was great,
even the older appartments are all you need. Spacious enough even when
you are in an electric wheelchair like myself, and all accessible (Plenty
of information of the website, which is very assuring if you book the
first time). Hoist at the swimming pool can easily take you in and out
of the water, and the sunbeds have extra tall matrases if you like, to
transfer easier back to your chair. Both the accomodation and the area
look very modern and beautiful. At the complex, some nice palm trees and
flowers. Very relaxing. Another important thing is that you are not
bound to stay at the complex, but you can head out to the town for tasty
food. Restaurants are accessible and the owners very friendly if you
need assistance. Outside activities are also possible. We went
parasailing. Great experience, but I would suggest to go on a non-windy
day. Altogether, it was a great experience for me and my girlfriend
Annelies (first time Cyprus for us), and we only regret one thing: that
we did not book for longer that 1 week! That is a mistake we are not
going to make again when we book another stay at CA Appartments. Chris,
I really admire you, both your personality and what you have achieved in
life despite of your disability. You have a lovely family, all of them.
Saying goodbye was difficult for us. Hope to see you all soon again! Be
well! Oh yeah, congratulate Dimitris for the win of his favorite Spain
:-)
Greetings from Holland!

Hi Chris
This has been the best holiday we have been on.
Accommodation was clean and spacious, atmosphere was friendly at all
times, family and staff were helpful and accommodating. Airport
transfers was hassle free and friendly. Equipment and adaptions were
the best we have had on holiday. Boat trip is a trip not to be
missed. We all enjoyed this holiday so much we did not want to go
home, we will be returning as soon as we can. Excellent holiday
would rate this 10/10.
Lots of love Kevin, Kelly and crew

Hello
Chris
I spent a great fortnight at C &
A Apartments in May 2010. We hired a mobility scooter which made such a
difference to our holiday. Amongst other things we were able to go into
Latchi along the boardwalk right by the sea which was great, as well as
sampling the local restaurants (who were always happy to accommodate the
scooter). It made such a difference for Mike to be independant and for me
to be lazy!

Hi Chris
We had a wonderful stay at your apartments.
As a wheelchair user I have travelled to many places which declare
themselves as "wheelchair accessible" however on arrival one finds that
this is not the case, on arrival at C&A tourist apartments I was
immediately at peace. The design of the place has been well thought out
but your additional speed and willingness to provide or resolve any
specific disability equipment or access issues was reassuring. Myself
and my 2 year old daughter Maya felt so happy and welcomed by you and
your lovely family. The apartments were comfortable, clean, spacious
and well equipped. By day the pool and frappe's by night the wonderful
Cypriot food and company. Eva and Nitsa's cooking has no rivals. We
have returned home refreshed, tanned, slightly fatter and very content.
We will be coming back so stock up on the ice cream and baklava :o)
Much love to all of you

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

accomodations. Also the taxi service was excelent from airport did not
realise it was your dad Andreas if we had known earlyer we would have booked
direct as travel agent charged 170 pounds rather your dad have the money for
excelent service.Also a big big thank you to andreas for a great day out in

buzzing now. We are going to put your company name on our works web site for

My husband and I visited Cyprus in May 2010, and I hired a hoist from Paraquip. I made all my arrangements via Paraquip's website. The equipment was of excellent quality, well maintained and came with clear instructions. Importantly, the hoist was at my hotel (Riu Cypria Bay in Paphos) when I arrived, and the price quoted was the price I paid - i.e. there were no hidden extra charges. I would most certainly hire equipment from Paraquip in the future, and I unreservedly commend the company to you. After meeting Chris and his parents (they own C&A Apartments), I could see that both Paraquip and C&A Apartments are family businesses that pride themselves on providing high quality service, and customer satisfaction is important to them. We hope to return to Cyprus in 2011 and to stay at the well-appointed and wheelchair-friendly C&A Apartments.

Hi

My family met Andreas at the airport
Larnaca and all my worries about taking my mother (a disabled person) on holiday
were alaid. Andreas was very helpful and he gave us many advices about the
people, the nature and Cyprus. We made two fantastic
excursion days! We had to switch
our flights (due to Volcana ashes) but Chris organised very fast the new
transports (thank you Chris for your
excellent and very fast
communication). We can recommend Andreas and

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

Dear Chris and family,
I have now been home for a
week and have gradually returned to the old routine. I can't wait to return to
Polis. I had such a good time. My photo's were printed yesterday and they
brought back the warmth and the air scented with orange and lemon blossom along
with the good times with friends who became family. It was difficult to leave. I
recall the breakfasts in the sun with home made breads and jams, afternoons
sharing recipes with Nitsa and Eva, evenings sharing dinner with the family and
through out the wonderful hospitality that you gave . The accessibility was
wonderful and so was the electric wheelchair that I hired. I was able to whizz
along to Latchi along the coastal path. Groves of giant wild fennel and fields
of yellow flowers flowed down to the blue sea. I also loved the little
restaurants and cafes in Polis which is very Cypriot and full of character. The
swallows arrived within a day or two of our arrival and by the time we left they
were busy nest building swooping and chattering across the square.
I must recommend the trip that
we did with Andreas to the new museum at Steni which shows Cypriot village life.
The window that it gave to the past was enhanced by visiting with the family who
were able to relate their own memories of how it used to be.
On this trip I travelled with
a friend . Usually I am an independent wheelchair traveller. I now know that
Polis and C and A apartments can be a good holiday for the independent
wheelchair traveller. Thanks again for a wonderful holiday and you will see me
again.
With love to you all.
Peter.

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

November 2009 -- the James family, 2 able-bodied and Adrian in a
wheelchair. An excellent holiday starting from the time the booking was
done via Chris (excellent communication) on the Internet. Have plenty of
confidence in Andreas, who did a superb job of transporting us all from
Paphos airport to Polis and back in a specially adapted vehicle. He was
extremely friendly, and a mine of information, informing us that there was
little he could not do within his "department" in the family-run business.
On arrival at Eva’s Apartments we were made to feel most welcome initially
by Chris and his mother Eva and soon after by the remainder of this lovely
Cypriot family, not forgetting Kumar who was always around and so helpful in
every way. We had reserved 2 one-bedroomed apartments which even exceeded
our expectations, being exceptionally clean, quiet, functional and
spacious. They are also well equipped for self catering but we discovered
Eva’s breakfasts far too tempting to miss, not only for the range of food
available but also presenting the opportunity for socialising with the rest
of the family as well as other guests of different nationalities - the world
was put right on more than one occasion! We were extraordinarily lucky with
the weather and arrived in time to benefit from the now heated pool - superb
in all ways including the hoist. Hiring a scooter via Chris is easily done
and proved worthwhile in getting around especially along the coast via a
recently constructed footpath to Latchi. Of course the beautiful Akamas
Peninsula is close at hand. Local restaurants are excellent and friendly as
are the locals themselves, factors which have attracted us back to different
parts of Cyprus over many years. Thank you so much Chris, Eva, Andreas
(busy when we left either in drying out his supply of pecan nuts or visiting
his favourite coffee house!) and the rest of the family – and, of course,
Kumar - we hope very much to meet you all again before too long
Thank you again for a most memorable holiday and we hope that members of the
family who are receiving treatment are making good progress. You can be
very proud of the facilities that you provide.

I would like to sincerely thank you very
much for the very enjoyable time we had in C&A Apartments. The apartment
we stayed in was very well laid out, specially for two wheelchair users.
Eva and Nitsa must be two of the best cooks we have experienced. I
remember the beef and Yorkshire pudding with all the trimmings dinner
which was scrumptious, a taste of home in Cyprus. We would like to
personally thank you Chris for being a very pleasent, helpful and
approachable host, who went out of his way to ensure you had a great
holiday. We would also like to thank Andreas for the transport to and
from the airport and the trip to Paphos Market and the Paphos Mosiasc.
But most of all for being so jolly and great fun to be around, a true
gentleman! Kumar the handyman who made a few adjustments to Clares
wheelchair, who we could not compliment enough for his care. We would
like to compliment the Bulgarian cleaning lady for her diligent work in
the apartment. A great location with great restaurants all around Polis
Square, very accessible. Not forgetting our little friend Dimitri, who
was great fun to be around, who holds more information then a IBM
Computer. I hope we did not leave anyone out. We will hopefuly return in
the not so distant future.

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

operations the medics finally gave the all clear and we headed
straight back to C and A to enjoy your lovely studios and pool.
Andreas met us at the airport and we were whisked from Paphos to
Polis in your brilliant transport. We were curious to see the new
block and wondered whether it would change the feel of the place as
we remembered it. The architects and builders have done a remarkable
job and you would never know it was newly built as the fabulous
trees link the whole site together. The new dining room is wonderful
and enables guests to enjoy not only Eva's famous breakfasts but
also evening meals.
We loved the way guests were invited to make a dish for a meal and
Nadine's (German) cheescake was memorable. Other highlights were
helping to prepare Mosphylo ( a fruit we've never seen before) to
make the fruit jelly for breakfast toast. Andreas is a fund of
knowledge about gathering wild fruit/mushrooms etc and Nitsa's
Demetri
is a big Liverpool fan. We had the pleasure of seeing him dancing
for joy when his team beat Man United , after a run of being beaten.
Many of the best memories of our holiday were
connected with the family and other guests. You will know what I
mean when you spend a holiday at C and A Apartments.

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

Hallo Chris and family,
Back on Dutch soil where it is now fall, 13 degrees, with great
pleasure we look back on our second holiday to Cyprus. Weather and
relax and a richer experience: parasailing, it was fantastic. Flat
tires of the wheelchair was no problem, everything was settled
immediately, the hiring of an electric wheelchair is definitely
recommended, it makes transportation easier. The journey to and from
the airport without problems thanks to Andreas.
With meals from Eva and Nitsa our weight increased a few pounds, so
now on a diet. In this we thank you all for your efforts and
hospitality.

Hi Chris and Family,
I've been home a few weeks and thought it
was about time I thanked you for the great holiday and hospitality at
your little haven tucked away in Polis. The moment I arrived I knew i
would enjoy my time, your Mothers warm welcome and all the friendly
people made me feel comfortable instantly!
Being in a Wheelchair I was delighted to
find your apartments to be as accessible as my own home. The
excursions you put on for people are great especially in your Taxi's
fitted with ramp and clamps which your Father drives (he's such a
character!! )
Everything is well organized and your family put a great deal of effort
in.
I found everyone socialized and the food
your sister cooks is amazing (thanks Nitsa) mealtimes are a joy, with
all your family integrating with guests and helping people mix and make
friends! The Authentic Greek barbecue your dad does is amazing and is
very popular among all the guests, the turnout for them is always good.
You can have a worry free holiday at C&A
which you don't find in many places. Knowing that Mobility aids like
Scooters, Electric Chairs, Hoists etc are readily available, And there
is always someone on hand to help if any problem arises!
Thanks to your Mum, Dad, lovely sisters,
and ill be seeing you all next year!

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

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

Hello Chris and the rest of the family,
We like to thank you again for a fantastic
holiday. We love Cyprus and especially Polis. Here with C&A appartments
we have everything we want. A good
accomodation, a swimming-pool suitable for Piet and also the beach, we
like that very much. And also very important you and the whole family.
Every time we come we feel like to come
home. Eva and Nitsa with the cooking
and backing ( the cakes). Andreas and
Charoula for the helping with the barbecue.( we hope that she is
not angry with us about the rose wine) And not to forget you, Chris. It
is always pleasant to talk with you. Although there are much more
clients you have always time for a little chat. It is also very nice to
get clean towels and sheets without asking for it. So we also like to
thank Katja and Kuma.
Probably we will come again next year but
it depends how it goes with Piet and also which period I can get free
from my work. We saw that you had already put our picture on the
guestbook.
Greetings to the whole family, especially

Thanks for your email. Our vacation with you was very successful. You made
our whole family feel themselves welcome and you took good care of us. We
look back to Jarmo's party with warm feelings. We used your transport
services and hired a wheelchair. We were satisfied with those services and
we can recommend them to others also. Transportation was always right on

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

Hi Chris
We just wanted to say how much we
loved our stress free holiday at your appartments, for the 4th
time. As always the appartment was immaculate, as was the
swimming pool and of course the wonderful hospitality shown to
us by all of your family and staff.
This year, my husband Nigel and I
renewed our wedding vows while on holiday to celebrate our 10th
anniversary. I have to say that if anyone else is either
considering getting married, or renewing their wedding vows in
Cyprus then DO IT!!! It was the most amazing experience,and
certainly one we will never forget. Special thanks has to go to
Nitsa,who planned and organised everything for us mainly through
emails and phone calls. She is a true diamond,and made sure
everything went smoothly. Also special thanks to Eva who cooked
us the best roast pork dinner we have ever tasted!
As ever, Andreas (or taximan as my
children love to call him) was always able to take us where ever
we wanted to go, and met us and took us to and from the airport
with no problems whatsoever.
So to sum it all up- FANTASTIC!!

made,the trips to the mountains,sea caves,Paphos and the boattrip
were great.And Andreas' BBQ was delicious,his knowledge about the island
learned us a lot of things about it.Also we've had a lot of fun in
the swimmingpool with you and the guests (dead duck).And ofcourse
under the fan where we needed too cool off because of the heat.

Hi Chris,
With reference to our latest "stay" with you, thank you once
again for a tremendous two weeks ( 27'th June-11'th July ) and
congratulations on the success of the expansion to the set-up
at C & A.
I say congratulations because there was always a doubt that
"small was good" and would it be possible to maintain the
high standards set with the original apt's but we need not
have worried because as usual there were no problems with
transfers ( Andreas on the ball as usual ), hired hoist, and
powered chair, and the new appartments are even better than
the old ones, being more spacious with fixtures and fittings
to a very high standard.
We feel the extra room in the patio areas and around the
pool is a real bonus and the fact that there are more
clients means that people are mixing better and making more
friends. The evenings in particular were really good fun
with a lot of people taking advantage of the improved
kitchen/dining arrangements, whilst there is nothing wrong
with the tavernas in the town and would recomend most of
them to anyone the fact is that Eva & Nitsa's cooking is
superb !
So it would seem that facilities have actually improved at C
& A, but one thing that remains the same is the friendly
service and family atmosphere where nothing is too much
trouble to your family and staff if it concerns the comfort
and well being of your guests.
Once again thank you .....from your friends in the frozen
north !
Very best regards, Wayne Linda & Stephen ( Northumberland ).

Hi to everyone,
Back less than a week but it feels like ages ago since we came to
stay!
This was my second stay with you guys and this time round was just
as enjoyable as the first. You welcomed us into your family from day
1 and thats what makes C and A apartments different from anywhere i
have ever been. All of the guests are like one big happy family!
The parasailing was amazing - something i never thought i would ever
be able to do, and i enjoyed the boat trips just as much as i did
last time!
You all work so hard to keep the guests happy but it never seems
like a chore for any of you.
Especially big thanks go to Chris for rescuing us from that spider-
have lost count how many times i have told that story!
And next year Nitsa i WILL get the recipe for your chips!!!!

I would like to say a big thanks to yourself, Andreas & Hurula (excuse
spelling) for making our holiday in Cyprus so straightforward
and enjoyable. I am a C3 quadriplegic on full-time ventilation
and my requirements are not straightforward, however your
excellent transportation service, electric hoist hire and
overall provision of service was excellent, I was also very
impressed by the quality of the actual equipment and transport.
Although disabled as mentioned I am very active and your company
and family managed to provide a great transportation service (often
at very short notice) to get me everywhere from the water park
in Paphos to Coral Bay and beyond. I would highly recommend
your company and look forward to meeting you all again on our
next visit Cyprus.
We stayed in a villa in Emba (between Coral Bay and Paphos) and
you also managed to provide us with an excellent carer who had
18 years experience in the UK working with a quadriplegic (many
thanks Michelle).
Kind regards

every day but it was an amazing experience for both of us.
The apartment was perfect for me(Sue) as a wheelchair user but
we both have to say that anyone would be hard pressed to find a
more comfortable and welcoming place to stay (whether they have
a disabled family member , or none at all). This place is
magical. We met some wonderful people of all ages and abilities

Hi Chris,
It doesn't seem possible that
we have been home for two weeks. Once we went back to work
it seemed as though we hadn't been away. Thank goodness we
have some lovely photos to remind us. We have looked at the
photos you have posted and it was lovely to see there the
people we met while staying with you.
We all had a great time,
especially Louise who was able to be independent and not
worry about people staring at her, especially when she was
going into the pool. She really enjoyed the pool as she
never goeas swimming here.It was so easy to get her in and
out there because of the hoist .The facilities at the
apartment made it so much easier for us all that we were all
able to relax and have such an enjoyable stay. We would
especially recommend that guests hire a scooter ( if
suitable for them). It saved Peter and I having to push
Louise around in her wheelchair in the heat and it gave her
independence. Thank you so much for letting us use the
larger scooter as while as the one ordered. You certainly
knew best about that! Thank you to all the family for being
so helpful and making us so welcome. We will certainly be
back - finances permitting!
I promised Nitsa a recipe for
Mars Mousse which is attached. I hope she enjoys making it,
and eating it!

Hi Chris
We would like to thank your Father,Andreas for meeting us at the
airport and also taking us back for our return flight, his help made
the transfer to the apartments so much easier and it was great to
have a warm welcome after a long flight.
I was glad I hired the electric wheelchair, as it made Tonys'
holiday easier . at one point I got so confident on it that he had
to run to catch up with me - good exercise for him.
I was also glad that I was able to go Parasailing that was a
wonderful experience that I never thought I would be able to do ,
but thanks to you and the helpful people on the boat Iiwas able to
enjoy being free for a while and not sitting in a wheelchair
watching other people do things I wanted to do.
It was also great using the hoist to go into the swimming pool, my
legs do not work at all so to have that experience was good.
I'd urge anyonewho is in a wheelchair, if possible to enjoy all that
I did.
best wishes

Hello Chris
Just a quick line
to say thank you so much for a
very smooth return taxi transfer
from Paphos airport to the
Avanti return trip. It was the
first time I'd travelled with my
own scooer so was obviously a
little apprehesive to say the
least, but seeing your father
and his grandson ( is that your
son, he's a smashing lad who
made us laugh lots on the
journey to the hotel) waiting
for us was so reassuring and the
trip each way was faultless.
Hope to use you
again in the future and will
definitely recommend you if
anybody asks us.
All the best

Hi Chris
Just wanted to say
how impressed we were with the efficiency of
your company. Andreas picked us up from the
airport and took us to Kefalos Beach Village
giving us lots of useful information on the way.
We hadn't been sure whether to hire a scooter or
not but on arrival decided to do so and Andreas
delivered it to us the next morning. It made
such a difference to our holiday. We then
arranged an excursion with Andreas and he took
so much care to make sure he met our needs and
we had a wonderful day. It was lovely to meet
your family and to be shown around the
apartments at Polis.
We hope to be able
to visit beautiful Cyprus again and will

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.

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.

where to start to say what a wonderfull two week holiday

was fantastic.We were able to do so much ,when we are at

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

Hi Chris would love to be part of your
website.
we had an excellent holiday
in
paphos.My
husband Stephen,
is paralysed at t6. The holiday was made even more
special by the services of Andreas, who took all of my
family on a very informative trip around the sites of
paphos, this experience really enhanced our whole
holiday experience and we would like to thanks Andreas
through you once again.
We also hired a scooter, which although
some of the pavement sides are a little steep was a real
god send and enabled ste to have a bit more independance
around and abouts the hotel.
Thanks

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

Once more we have to say
what a thoroughly enjoyable time we had whilst staying
at your fabulous complex.
You never cease to amaze us with the careful thought and
consideration that is put into making the holiday so
enjoyable, not just for the disabled members of the
parties, but for all concerned in the holiday, be it
other family members or carers or friends. All my
husbands needs were met once more. We could not ask for
anything else.
The family is so welcoming
and generous. One of our favourite days was one spent
with the 'TOUR GUIDE' Andreas....what an absolute star
that man is. He leaves no corner of the island
untouched,. He can tell you anything you need to know
about the flora and fauna. Dont book a tour unless its
with Andreas. He took me and my hubby Pete to places
off the beaten track that we could never have found.
Nothing is too much trouble. We love him to bits.
Eva and Nitsa, busy as
ever ensuring that all the guests are happy. The
fabulous cakes still freshly made for the guests to
enjoy on any
afternoon.
The swimming pool, as
enticing as ever, so clean and crystal clear, great care
taken to ensure all around the complex is scrupulously
clean and very well maintained. Even though there was
building work going on,
it didnt disrupt our enjoyment what so ever. We cant
wait to see the finished results of the new apartments,
just from the 'shell' at present they look like they are
going to be superb....well done Chris for all your
thoughts, determination and hard work that has gone
into making C & A Tourist Apartments the best ever
place to stay, with or without a disability
Chris (the boss)please say
hi to Eva, Andreas, Nitsa, Dimitri, Chris, Andrew (especially

I am now back home in cold
and snowy England and am full of envy for Cyprus living.
Can I offer my sincere thanks
to you and your father for the wonderful service you are
providing - I previously had a wheelchair on hire but this
year opted for the scooter and it has proved to be the
correct decision. My friends that I meet up with enjoyed my
freedom just as much as I - and we were all able to
appreciate the service provided.
In fact, due to a couple of
children playing with the switches while on charge, I had to
contact Andreas - who immediately identified the problem as
being in inside mode - when I talked I was not near the
scooter and he, very kindly called into The Paphiessa (whilst
in the area) to check all was well - which it was.
I also had to give members of
the public the telephone details whilst on my travels - as
it caused so much interest with other tourists.
If you wish to use my name -
or indeed this email then please feel free to do so - as I
indicated to Andreas - I intend coming back to the wonderful
Cyprus in Easter next year and will be contacting you in due
course.
Once again thanks and best

Our first stay with C & A and we were confident it would be a vast
improvement on standard holiday accommodation but it was even
better than we hoped, the ramps and bedroom and bathroom access
that are normally such a chore presented no problems at all. In
fact we did not manually have to lift Stephen at any time over
the whole holiday, as well as taking the strain off Linda and
myself it meant life was much more comfortable for Stephen.
The availability of both the hoist and the electric wheel chair
were a real help....we were not aware of the extent/range of
your equipment for hire, this will help make future holidays
even easier to plan and all the all the more enjoyable.
The airport transfer's went without a hitch and we enjoyed the
journeys with Andreas' running commentary.
Of course all the "above" is wonderful but it becomes even better
when you add the hospitality and friendship shown not just by
you but your whole family.....you are special people and we will
definitely be back to see you in 2008,
thank you, Wayne Linda & Stephen ( Northumberland ).

Hi Chris,
Just a note to thank Andreas, he was a most
welcome site at Paphos airport in the early hours of the
morning following a delayed flight. Knowing he would be
there to make the transfer from the airport to Polis
completely hassle free helped us both relax despite the
frustration of modern day international flying. We were both
disappointed when he arrived promptly to take us back to the
Airport a week later - neither of us wanted to leave!!
It was also great to have the electric
wheelchair available from the moment we arrived until we
boarded the return taxi - having all the facilities made the
holiday a real opportunity for Alison to relax and for me to
be as independent as possible throughout our stay.
Thanks

Thank you, thank
you, thank you for providing first-class ‘disability friendly’
accommodation. The surroundings and apartment were wonderfully
relaxing with a real family atmosphere; guests will want to
return again and again to C + A Apartments, aka their new home
in Cyprus!
From the minute we set foot on Cyprus, all our needs were
catered for. The airport transfer to and from C + A Apartments
was faultless and teamed with traditional Cypriot hospitality.
The cost of hiring a mobility scooter was value for money and
all equipment was reliable; making my holiday a truly wonderful

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

Before coming to C&A
apartments we have had a recommendation from a distant contact. We had
also looked at the website. It sounded too good to be true. With Hugh
permanently in a wheelchair we had had many adverse experiences. But
the combination of Chris's own experiences as a wheelchair user and
Eva's welcome and genuine concern made the holiday unforgettable. Hugh
was constantly in and out of the pool using the poolside hoist and was
able to enjoy bathing in the sea when he went on the boat trip and was
lowered into the sea in the special chair suspended from the ship's
davits and was then able to swim around using a ring.
With everything so tailor-made and all manner of equipment available to
be hired if needed, Vivien was able to relax and enjoy the holiday
herself. We could go on about the highlights, but it's enough to say: "we
will be back."

weighed up to a fine art, he helped make our holiday entirely

Fantastic transfer service,
Andreas was at Arrivals when we landed. The service takes all
the stress away from taking an electric wheelchair on holiday. I
would recommend this service to anyone - world class! In
addition we hired a manual chair for Max. Again a quality piece
of equipment and excellent value for money.
Finally, the boat trip which Chris
recommended was superb - Max has difficulty walking on sand but
loves swimming in the sea. The hoist allowed him a memorable
experience swimming in the blue lagoon and one memory that will
live with us all for a long time. This family are amazing lovely

Hi all,
Thank you so much for your help last week ( 22nd July-29th).
This is the second holiday you have provided me with a scooter to
get around the resort of Coral bay. Without it I would not have
been able to move from the villa.
You delivered right to my door when you said you would , I had your
contact details should anything go wrong ( which it didn't ) and
then you collected it again when it was time to go home.
It could not have been easier. All of that at short notice too ! I
only knew I was coming to Cyprus three days before I was leaving, so
to me you really are a star!
Thank you all so much - see you next time, and I have no hesitation
recommending you to anyone needing any help at all whilst in Cyprus.

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

Toen we op 3O mei naar Cyprus vertrokken, was er
afgesproken, dat iemand ons in Paphos zou komen afhalen.
De opluchting was dan ook groot, toen er bij de
uitgang van het luchthavengebouw een man (Andreas zou blijken)
stond, die een blad droeg waarop in grote letters mijn naam
stond.
Yess!! Dat was een goed begin! Bovendien, reed de
man met een lift-taxi-bus, waardoor het gemakellijk was, om de
rolwagen in-en uit te rijden.
Tijdens de rit, toonde Andreas ons een blad
waarop de verschillende excursies vermeld stonden, waaraan we
konden deelnemen.
We hebben tijdens ons verlof 2 excursies
meegedaan en geloof me, we hadden er geen spijt van. Andreas
vertelde honderduit over de omgeving, alle mogelijke fruitbomen,
wijngaarden, steden en dorpjes, planten en dieren.
Hij is zéér geduldig en gedienstig, weet waar
mooie uitzichtpunten zijn,waar het de moeite is om even te
stoppen, waar er toegankelijke toiletten zijn. Geen halte was
hem teveel.
Hartelijk dank Andreas ! ( efchariesto polie )
Wij huurden in Polis geen extra materiaal, maar
waren toch onder de indruk van zo'n uitgebreid assortiment van
hulptoestellen.
Wie denkt, dat reizen naar het buitenland, in een
rolstoel niets meer voor hem of haar is, zal hier zijn mening
zeker moeten herzien !

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

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

such a fantastic dad.
Anthony was so excited all day, and he told your father that
he wants to meet you the next time he comes to Cyprus.
Many thanks for every thing
Kindest Regards

Dear Chris,
Firstly I have only just picked up my emails I would have loved
to have popped in for a coffee but time was limited, if we are
passing your way in the future we will pop in and see you. I
would just like to say a very big thankyou for helping our
holiday/wedding a success we could not have managed without your
equipment and
your dads adapted taxi, they were
fantastic, I will certainly recommend you.
Thanks again
Sheila
PS The wedding was fantastic in such beautiful surroundings.

I was very impressed with
the prompt and efficient experience I had in your easy
to use web site especially for me as this was the 1st
time I have hired a wheelchair when on holiday - I have
been to Paphos before and was meeting up with a group of
people who were all able bodied - the wheelchair allowed
me to go out with them at night and see sights and
sounds of Paphos as one of the crowd.
When your father delivered
the chair and gave me a run through of how to use it
properly I realised what a treat was now in store for
the next 2 weeks. What a delight he was as well - in
fact he suggested that I consider an electric scooter
for my next visit and he could also recommend airport
transfer with delivery and collection - I am coming back
in September and will be using your excellent facilities
again.
Best regards - Brian

Hi Chris,
Alison & I started to get
into the holiday atmosphere as soon as we reached the
arrivals hall at Paphos airport - we were greeted by
Andreas, holding a placard with our name and were
whisked to the apartments in Polis without any hassle at
all. Andreas' commentary made the 50 minute journey pass
in no time, he even rang several restaurants to see
which could accommodate us at the late hour, drove us
there and introduced us to the proprietors.
I had hired an electric
wheelchair, which was waiting for me on arrival and this
enabled Alison to really relax and enjoy the holiday to
the full, we took advantage of the beach pathway to
Latchi on several occasions, stopping for refreshment at
one of the pleasant sea front cafes.
Our excursion to the
Trudos Mountains was inspiring, again Andreas' knowledge
of the countryside and history made quite a long day
pass in no time.
We are already discussing
what we can fit in during our next stay.
We look forward to seeing
you all again in October, regards to all your family,
Barry & Alison Powell

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.
With Love and Thanks,

Hi Chris,
The
powered wheelchair which we hired from you was a great
success. Chris had the freedom to go where he wanted and to
get away from me which was very important for our sanity!
After forgetting to tell you that we needed a toilet raiser,
the problem was solved within a very short time. The
facilities in the shower room were excellent, the beds were
good, in fact everything was superb. We didn't have the
need for your Dad's taxi service, but I know that the people
who used it were impressed. I hope that when we cpome next
year, we shall be able to go on the boat trip and use the
excellent facilities there. Many regards, Chris & Chris

Hi Chris,
Your dad Andreas,
met us at Paphos airport in his specially adapted van, which
has a tailgate lift at the back for wheelchairs, scooters,
etc. Jim was able to transfer to a seat for travelling, but
there are also special wheel–securing clamps for those who
need to remain in their wheelchairs. He also organises trips
out, giving the benefit of his local knowledge on places of
interest, and provides transport to and from various
activities such as para-sailing and trips on the
glass-bottom boat from neighbouring Latchi, all of which are
disabled-friendly.
Chris also provides the hire of a variety of powered and
manual wheelchairs and mobility scooters. Jim uses a scooter
at home, as he cannot self-propel a wheelchair, and I can’t
always push him in a manual wheelchair, so we arranged for
the use of a scooter whilst there. This gave us complete
freedom to explore, access to the beach (where walkways and
ramps help access) and in the evenings we were able to go
into the centre of Polis to make the most of the variety of
tavernas offering delicious food. On a couple of days, I
also used a scooter, enabling us to take advantage of the
excellent paved walkway which leads from Polis beach, along
the shoreline to the charming fishing harbour at Latchi, a
distance of approximately 3 Kilometres. Everything there
is disabled-friendly, and the tavernas are ready and willing
to move chairs to provide access.

Holiday June 14th to 28th 2006
I contacted Chris after searching the
internet via Google. Chris was most helpful in meeting my need for a
commode to be deliverd to our hotel the far side of Limassol, and
arranging for his father to deliver that when he collected us from
Paphos Airport at 1.30 in the morning!!!! Bearing in mind that Chris and
his father live in Polis, the far side of Paphos from our hotel, this
was a very impressive occurence.
Our return pick-up was very prompt, and as
this was in daylight Andreas was able to give us all sorts of
information about the surrouinding countryside.
The high spot was when he arranged for us
- including my wife in a wheelchair - to bypasss the long queue at
check-in and be fed through express check-in.
Fantastic service and a good price for
commde hire and transport that we were able to wheel my wife straight
into.. What more can you ask for.

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

The first person we saw on getting through
arrrivals at Paphos airport was the lovely Andreas holding up a card
with my name. No hassle there. He immediately took care off our luggage
and took us to his taxi where he carefully guided me onto the ramp and
very securely strapped in my wheelchair. All the way to Polis he was
describing the areas in fluent English. A very comfortable and welcoming
experience.
We also took advantage of his reasonably
cost excursions. He is able to show you old villages in the region, the
monasteries and stops for lunch where we experienced our first meza.
Make sure you're hungry for this feast. We visited the Baths of
Aphrodite (only accessible to ambulant folk). Whilst my carer went off
and took some photos to show me Andreas took me to the clifftop. I must
admit I think I got the better deal. A beautiful, peaceful spot where we
had quiet conversation and took in the views, that's the place and time
I remember the best.

Dear Chris and Andreas
Rather late but nevertheless warm thank you for your kind and very
proficient attention you gave us during our stay in Paphos (Mayfair
7th-21st September 2005).
The service given by Andreas - Taxi to and from Airport and excursion to
the Trodos was superb. His patience, commentary and sampling of
roadside fields of figs and grapes, really good. The consultation of his
little black book to fit us in, I'm sure this book could organise
anything.
Even showing us around C&A Apartments, (which having seen them from a
wheelchair users point of view we should have stayed at) leaving us with
the envy of very clean spacious rooms, accessible bathrooms, pool hoist,
equipment and I 'm very sure warm, accommodating staff.
If we do venture again, one of the first thoughts of accommodation will
be C&A Apartments.
Many thanks

This is just to say a quick
thank you for providing all of the equipment that we needed to ensure that
Mum’s stay in Cyprus was not only memorable but also possible! We couldn’t
have done the holiday at all without the use of your hoists, electric
wheelchair and the mini bus that takes wheelchairs.
Please pass on our thanks to your Dad, who provided us with hours of fun on
the tours that we took with him; he really bought the island to life for us
all.

Hi Chris,
We stayed in a villa in Latchi in March of
2005 and Chris was very willing to organise for a manual wheelchair to
be delivered to us at our villa. It arrived soon after we did and we
were really impresed with the friendly and personal service.
The person who delivered the chair was really helpful and was happy
to give us lots of advice as we were new to Cyprus.
We'd definitely recommend using this fantastic service as being able to
hire a wheelchair made our holiday stress free and if we return to
cyprus we will definitely be in contact with Chris again!
Many thanks,
Lavinia Bell
