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

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!

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

would rate this 10/10.

Hello

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

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.

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

transports (thank you Chris for your

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.

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

so much easier with the use of your mobility scooters. We stayed at the

waiting for us. We would also like to thank you for the flexability in
changing the scooter to the larger one after a few days. It was lovely
to meet your father, out and about on our travels. We called to see you,

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.

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

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
Eva and Nitza and also to Wout and Annet and Nellie.

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
time as agreed.
The autumn is on it's way here in finland and it's getting colder. Soon it
will be winter and we'll have snow.

Hello Chris
Sorry for the delay but once you get back the holiday feels like
a long time ago. For someone who did not stay at your fine hotel
I can not express our gratitude enough for the help and
attention you gave to me, Michelle and Adam
You certainly made an impression with Adam and even I did not
think he would be man enough to go in the “sharks” cage to enter
the lovely sea from the boat trip. But you made the difference
and gave him the confidence to do it, not just once but we even
came back to do it again. We looked at your rooms and we were
very impressed with detail and it was clear to see what a
difference you have made by being confined to the wheelchair and
realising how space and facilities are so important.
Your family and friends were equally as charming as you and we
would happily recommend your accommodation to anyone with or
with disabilities especially in a country where the sun always
shines
Once again, thanks for all your help and pass my regards to your
mum and dad, sister and the Boss, Demetrious.
From Derek, Michelle and a very pleased Adam

Hi Chris and the rest of the gang,
I've just come back from my 4th wonderful holiday at your apartments and I'm
already planning my next visit! I've never been anywhere where I feel so at
home, completely relaxed and part of a community. I met lots of great people
during my stays.
Chris and his family are so accomodating and are always ready to help with
any problem. It came as a great relief this year when I didn't have enough
medication that I could call on Nitsa
to help. Then when my wheelchair broke and I told Chris I had a problem and he
replied 'nothing is a problem' before getting Kumar to fix it for me (Thanks
Kumar!) I think that pretty much sums up C&A apartments-'nothing is a
problem' and it makes for a lovely and truly relaxing holiday.
I love it here and I'll definitely be back!!

to meet friends from last year who went at the same time, as well as
make new friends especially 'the darlings' from Edinburgh. As

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!!

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 ).

I would like to say a big thanks to yourself, Andreas & Hurula (excuse

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).

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.

I would like to thank you for

We stayed at the Rania Beach
Apartments, Poseidonos Avenue, Paphos from 7/05/09 to
14/05/09. To have this facility was a tremendous help and we
will definitely use you when we return in the future.The
wheelchair turned up when we wanted it and was very sturdy
but light. It helped us out many times when we went out and
about in our hire car.
Doing the transaction with you
was very easy and stress free. You were always returning my
e-mails promptly. This made it very easy for us knowing we
could trust you. You also made the sun come out for us, as
we came out on the back of some quite unusually rainy and
cool days for Cyprus and apart from our trip to the Troodos
we did not see a cloud at all.

Just a quick note to say many thanks for the

while I have been in Cyprus. Without it I would
not have been able to get around. It did some

We hadn't been sure whether to hire a scooter or

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

Hi Chris,
The mobility scooter you supplied for my wife made
all the difference to our holiday. We stayed in the Kefalos Beach Village,
Pafos, in October. Thank
you to your Dad for delivering it ready for when we
arrived. You were quite
right to advise the "traditional size" scooter,
which was powerful enough to
manage the quite steep slopes in Cyprus villages. Of
course we could not get
it in the car we hired for one day, but it was easy
to fold down the tiller
and get it in the luggage hold when we went on a
coach trip to the villages
to the north-east of Pafos. It made them accessible.
Once again thank you
for your friendly and efficient service! You make
such a difference to
people like us.

have to walk everywhere and push Franks wheelchair.This gave us
so much freedom to see so much.We were able to go to the beach
also in to Latchi when we wanted to.We had a wonderfull day out
with Andraos to the Troodos mountains .What a wonderfull
expereance that was Andraos tells you so much about
everything.Stopping every so often to pick fruit from various
trees for us to try.Frank was able to go swiming every
day,somethink he has not been able to do for many years.We would
like to say thankyou to Eva for wonderfull breckfasts every
morning what a good start to our days.We really enjoyed the
barbeque evening by the pool.The food also your family were

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

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.

Another fabulous holiday at C&A Apartments. This is our 5th
and 6th time so that really says it all about why we
keep coming back to you, for your great hospitality and
friendship. We had to have another emergency repair done to my
electric wheelchair and it was taken care of quickly and without
any fuss. This is why we love staying with you, we have peace
of mind that if anything goes wrong you can always fix it and we
are secure in the knowledge that we will always have a fantastic

Hi Chris
sorry it's taken a while to get back to you but
we've been busy with work and getting Steve sorted in his new
house.
Having stayed with you for a second time ( 11'th to 25'th june )
in "No' 4" I am pleased to say the holiday was a complete
success, due mainly to the accessability of the apartment and
the availibility of relevant equipment ( electric wheel chair
and hoist ). Add to this the sunshine.....the people......food.....beer....and
all the other reasons we love coming to Cyprus how could the
holiday fail ? But the major thing that made this year was the
fact that Stephen got to swim in the sea for the first time in
his 33 years ! and he followed this up by going parasailing the
next day !!.....believe me the whole of the north of England has
heard of his exploits as he has not stopped talking about it
since his return. Your apartments and facilities open up a whole
new world for the disabled and those who care for them, once
again thank you to you and your family,
Wayne, Linda & Stephen.
PS. It is also worth a mention that the work to the new
apartments did not disturb our holiday at all. I hope that
Demitris ( the boss ) is keeping you all on your toes ( and that
Nita has not yet strangled him ) also give our love to your
lovely daughter Sarah.

Thanks for the e-mail, we had a great time in Paphos, and
staying at the Annabelle hotel, was just wonderful , I know it
is expensive but it is just wonderful and the staff are all so
helpful and friendly, so what the hell!
What would I do without the hire of the bath board and rollator,
it just makes things so easy for me, and gives me some
independence, as always the things were at the hotel waiting for
me when I arrived.
We are now back home and I think we brought some of the Cyprus
weather back with us, once again thanks you for making my
holiday so easy,

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 regards

Hi Chris,
Just returned from Paphos
having had a lovely two week Wedding & Honeymoon. My wife's
nephew Marc has Cerebral Palsy and we hired one of your
electric wheelchairs for the duration.
Marc is very particular in his
requirements for a wheelchair and I would like to thank you
and your wife for an outstanding service for Marc. The
wheelchair was delivered on time and was exactly what had
been ordered. Marc needed some extra cushions and straps
that we thought might be a problem (based upon the standard
UK customer service we are used to)
Having called you on a Sunday,
the extra requirements were promptly delivered to our hotel
that day and Marc enjoyed a trouble free holiday in Paphos
thanks to you.
We are astounded and grateful
for the excellent service you provided and would have no
hesitation in recommending your services to anyone visiting
Cyprus.
Many thanks for your
assistance and we look forward to using your services in the

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
again

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

From the minute we set foot on Cyprus, all our needs were

was faultless and teamed with traditional Cypriot hospitality.
The cost of hiring a mobility scooter was value for money and

Finally, the boat trip which Chris

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.

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

Chris' dads adapted taxi (they now have a new one) and all the
equipment that we loaned were brilliant. Any extra equipment that we
needed was available on arrival e.g bed rails etc. Chris and his

I hired a mobility scooter from you; it was the
first time I have needed to do this. I was
impressed by how easy you made everything – the
scooter was waiting for me at my hotel, and I was
able to just leave it behind me when I left. The
scooter was easy to use and really helped me to get
about.
Thank you for making my holiday relaxing and stress
free.

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

hi Chris, happy to add another comment for your webpage...
Spent another happy holiday in Cyprus thanks to Chris and his scooter hire
service.
My brain is not what is was, so
tend to forget lttle things like, the indoor/outdooruse switch on the
scooter. After struggling to make the thing go faster and convinced I had
'killed it!', I rang Chris to be reminded with an obvious smile on his face
to 'turn the switch on'. Never a cross word from this man, even when I made
the same error every year.
Keep up the good work, Chris Andreas and Eva, you have my unendin support
and thanks.

Hi Chris,
For hireing an electric wheel-chair at C & A Tourist
Apartments, was of great use.
To be free , to come & go around Polis & Latchi, via
beach was of great joy to see the area, & had no problems along the
road, also to have a number plate on back with phone number if required,
& how the restaurant staff notice where your staying & look after with
great pleasure.
With every hope of returning next year, because as web

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.

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
to the villa. 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!)

Dear Chris, although we have some sunshine

Cyprus. I would like to say that it was a 'Godsend' having
the wheelchair for my mother whilst we were in Paphos, she
was thrilled to be able to get around with ease and loved
every minute we were there. Without your valued service she
would have been trapped in my apartment for 11 days. If
she is well enough to come to Cyprus again in the future I
would not hesitate to contact you again and would like to
thank you and your very sweet father for your help and
assistance in making 'Cyprus' a special holiday for me and

to make sure all needs are met - a lovely guy.
The first person we saw on getting

Hello!
Chris, Eva,& Andreas. Our Cypriot Friends.
Well
Chris what can i say about you and your family, that has not been said
before, We have gone through your guest book, and no matter what we say some
one else will has said it already. You and your lovely family have created a
beautiful oasis in the center of Polis, we loved going around your village
using one of your rental scooters (made our holiday stress free). i liked
the way it is and pray that the big Holiday firms dont come in and ruin the
town by building highrise hotels that dont have any feeling about them and
they only worry about the money that they make from people and every body
is just a number. Where as arriving at C&A Apartments. we felt the warmth"
not from the hot sun in the sky" but from your familys hearts, i dont think
we have ever had a welcome like it any where else. Yes Chris (or should i
say Mr Neophytou)
You have created a wonderful Oasis for the people with Disabilities to
visit, where i think for the first time disabled and able bodied people were
treated the same. As other people have said, your family were wonderful and
nothing was to much for them and yes your mother is a great baker and a
wonderful cook and i just dont know how she puts up with you, for while she
was dealing with the guest and just maybe trying to get a relaxing cup of
coffee what did we all hear, (was your soft dulcet tones Calling Maw!!!!)
and for your dad Andreas what a taxi driver, he must know the roads in
Cyprus, like the back of his hands or as they say "or as someone said to me
he could drive blindfold and would still get us to our destination" but as
long as im not in the taxi when he does "It was great meeting you and all of
your family espeacially on our last night at the barbeque, Issy (the Gaffer)
and i have not had a laugh like that in a long time, and as the morning of
our departure, you and your family even made that special by the way you
sent us off with true love and affection. I hope and pray that we will meet
again until then we wish you and yours all the very very best from Glasgow

Hi Chris,
Having spent 2 weeks in Pafos
during September 2005. We fund it was so much easier being able
to move around the Island and relax with the aid of the
wheelchair supplied by yourself. The wheelchair had been set so
that there was a minimum amount of efford required to manover it
about. We were able to take several trips even a boat trip as
the wheelchair was easily stored in coaches and taxis. I would
recommend your services to anyone visiting the Island.So thanks

We zijn in september in C&A apartments,
Polis geweest voor twee weken. Wout heeft bij Crhis een
scootmobiel gehuurd voor deze periode wat ons veel meer
bewegingsvrijheid gaf. De wandelingen naar het strand, waar toch
enkele steile stukken in zitten waren nu prima te doen. De wandeling
naar Latchi die we hebben gemaakt en terug was ook heel mooi en fijn.
Op deze dag toch gauw 5 km. onderweg geweest was geen probleem
voor de scootmobiel. Kortom met de scootmobiel hebben we toch dingen
kunnen doen die we anders niet hadden kunnen doen en mede daardoor
hebben we een hele fijn vakantie gehad waarvoor veel dank.

Dear Chris,
It was such a pleasure to meet you and
your family, and to see all the amazing things you have achieved in
Polis to make everything easy for disabled people.
I think the apartments you have built are
ideal for people who have quite extensive disabilities, and their
families, and the pool and Bar area look a place for a lot of fun,
daytime or evening.
On top on all that, the fact that there is
an accessible vehicle for sightseeing around Cyprus, makes sure anybody
staying with you has plenty of things to do to choose from.
I hope your venture is a great success.

Chris,
Thanks for the use of
the Electric Scooter during our holiday in Paphos. Having the scooter
ready and waiting at our hotel when we arrived was great as it meant that
we could start relaxing and exploring the hotel and local area almost
immediately. This was my father’s first holiday abroad in 32 years and he
thoroughly enjoyed it. His enjoyment was largely due to the fact that he
felt totally independent when using the scooter and didn’t have to rely on
us to push him around in his wheelchair. The only thing that he was a
little disappointed about was the fact that we couldn’t fit the scooter
into the people carrier that we had arranged to hire for a few days. This
meant that he had to use his wheelchair on our trips out which did make
things slightly difficult for us all, especially when we visited the
Troodos Mountains and some of the surrounding villages. However, it
certainly didn’t spoil his or our enjoyment of the days out and he can’t
wait to return to Cyprus again.Many Thanks for providing this excellent

Dear Chris,
Thanks for the
use of the scooter whilst we were staying in our hotel in Limassol, Cyprus. It
was really useful having
the scooter around the hotel as it made it was much easier for my father to
enjoy his holiday. It was a good quality scooter and overall we were really
pleased that you offer that service in Cyprus. It was just a shame we
couldn't use the scooter with the rented car, but nevertheless having a
scooter in the hotel makes such a difference to getting around for disabled.
Thank you for all your help. I would certainly recommend your service to
anyone else who's disabled and going out to Cyprus.
So thanks again,
Kind regards,
A friend from Huntingdon,

Chris,
Thanks for a wonderful holiday but most of
all for all your help re the electric scooter and wheelchair - it was
great to be able to go where I wanted when I wanted, without having to
rely on someone to push me and it gave me a real sense of freedom for the
first time in months. I am definitely going to get an electric wheelchair
to use at home. Thanks again.

Hi Chris,
Thanks again to you, Eva, Andreas, Nitsa (excuse the spelling!) and, of
course, Dimitri, for such a wonderful time, you welcomed us as your own
family.
The hoist and the pool were fantastic for Robbie - he says a big thank you
for the best birthday ever (especially the birthday cake!), the fastest
wheelchair and the great fun he had on the electric scooter. Tom and Robbie
just loved it with you all and want us to move to Cyprus!
We hope to see you all next year.
All our love, Trace, Jim, Tom and Robbie

We felt like we were coming home rather than going on holiday. Chris your

paid dividends. It's really great to see the positive changes that have come

Hi Chris,
Thanks for your help on our holiday at C &A Apartments in Polis in July.
It was great that you were able to fix my scoooters's front wheel and hire
me a replacement scooter in the meantime. This meant we could get on with
all our wonderful holiday activities. Thanks again.

Hi Chris,
We have returned home after
a wonderful two weeks in Pissouri. We were able to load the electric
scooter, that we hired from you, into a small Peugeot 206, much to our
surprise as we thought the scooter would be much too big (See
http://www.paraquip.com.cy/Rent_scooter.htm). It
performed beautifully and we were able to fully tour the Roman remains
at Kourion which have now been improved to cater for disabled and
wheelchair bound visitors. Being able to hire a scooter made the
holiday much more enjoyable.
Best wishes

Hi Chris,
Our recent holiday in Polis, Cyprus, was
made even better (hard to believe that it could get better) by our
ability to obtain wheelchairs for hire at very short notice. Through
Chris at Paraquip we were able to try a number of different types and
models of powered wheelchairs and scooters. My wife quickly settled for
a power chair, and the controls were switched over for her left handed
use. She was given the chair to test for the afternoon.
She also tried a scooter but it was not suitable for her due to lack of
control with her right hand.
We also had use of a manual wheelchair again at short notice when that
was more suitable.
Brilliant service with instant availability,
regards,
Stuart Innes

Hi Chris
Well
here I am back at my desk working away feeling very relaxed after a
beautiful holiday in Cyprus. This was partially, due to the wonderful
island and also to you Chris for hiring me an electric wheelchair. As this
made it possible to have some independence, and not have to rely on my
husband pushing me everywhere.
So I would like to thank Paraquip very much for the wonderful service and
long may it continue, I will certainly use them again, when I ‘m next in
Cyprus. We did pass your name onto several people both in Cyprus and at
home in the U.K., also to our Travel Rep for Cyplon
Thanks a lot

I have just had a fabulous week' s holiday staying with Chris and Eva at
their apartments in Polis. We were met at Paphos airport by a driver in a
Citroen Berlingo with a tailgate ramp, so I was able to make the 45 minute
journey to Polis in my wheelchair. I hired a powered wheelchair from
Paraquip, and this was waiting in the apartment when we arrived. It
needed a couple of minor adjustments to the footplate and this was done
straight away. I brought my own wheelchair cushion with me, as comfort is
vital. It makes a tremendous difference to have a powered chair for
getting around Polis and visiting all the restaurants. I also hired a
shower commode with detachable arms for lateral transfer. With these two
vital pieces of equipment my holiday was fine! I recommend that people
with serious disabilities hire all the equipment they need, as this saves
carrying unnecessary baggage on the plane. Don't forget that the flight
fr! om the UK takes 4 1/2 to 5 hours, so anything which makes this easier
is a great help.

I found hiring equipment for disabled needs very easy to book through
Paraquip and the scooter was at the hotel (St George -Paphos in Feb 2004)
as promised on our day of arrival. We did need some assistance once at
the hotel and again Paraquip were only to glad to help. As the hotel was
quite far out of the centre of Paphos we did not benefit from the electric
scooter as much as possible however, we were able to get on and off buses
with the scooter which meant would could take it with us to the harbour
etc.
Paraquip were as effective and efficient as mentioned on their website and
would strongly recommend the use of their equipment.. If I return to
Paphos I would use Paraquip again.
Chris, just a short note to thank you for your help and support during our
stay at Paphos.

Hello, Mike Coatesworth here.
I am
a wheelchair user, and I’ve been to Cyprus seven times, so I know how
invaluable it can be when you are offered any form of power chair to get
around some of the steeper areas of the romantic isle, therefore enjoying
the holiday rather than placing a strain on yourself or the most important
person in the party, “the carer.”
Chris’s disability equipment hire is not only a great asset to tourists
visiting his home village of Polis, but to all disabled visitors of Cyprus
at any time of the year. I have visited thirty two countries, and I must
state that Chris’s disability hire is not just a godsend, but a rarity for
all travellers of other countries, but his equipment hire guarantees that
a visitor to romantic Cyprus can have a relaxing and carefree holiday
without the wor00ry of placing undue pressure on carers.

Dear
Chris and all at Paraquip, we live in the UK, and my husband recently had
an operation for bone cancer in the leg. He finds it difficult to walk at
present, and we had hoped to go to Cyprus to give him some relaxation
before his next operation in March. We wondered how to make his holiday
possible, and were very pleased to find your service on the web, and your
easy to use site, which was both interesting and contained all the
information we needed. Your service and online ordering arrangements were
clear and secure, and it was very helpful to have the chair delivered to
our hotel so that we found it when we arrived, and knew we could rely on
its being collected when we left.
We will recommend this service to friends in the UK who may have similar
needs at any time.
Many thanks

Coming to Cyprus with my electric
wheelchair was made very easy with the help of Chris.Wheelchair taxi
transfers and hire of a hoist made my four week stay in Pissouri a
stress-free holiday. Pissouri village is 1000 feet above sea level so is
rather hilly for some-one in a manual chair but my electric chair coped
very well. The hoist proved invaluable, no worries about chair transfers
or falls. The help we received was most appreciated and made our holiday
such a success that we have booked a five week stay in 2004.

Hi Chris & Eva
As this was my first time on holiday since
been disabled I was very worried how I would cope with all the different
things that could happen, as it turned out I had a very pleasant surprise
thanks to Chris & Eva's nothing's to much trouble approach to help people
stopping at C & A, also I was meet at the reception with the electric
wheelchair I ordered before traveling, there is also a lot of other hire
equipment available. It has turned out to be the least troubled holiday
that I have ever taken, I would recommend these apartments to any disabled

Just a quick note to thank you for all your

In fact, so impressed was I by the whole

We visited Cyprus for the first time this Christmas taking my mother of 84

We found paraquip on the internet and arranged collection at the airport
plus hire of other equipment.
The service was not only first class but reasonably priced and the people
very kind and helpful. We required another item and only realised this
on Boxing Day - this was delivered the same day even though the office was
closed we were diverted to a home number and within hours the item was
delivered.
Very well done to a marvellous organisation we could do with more like
this.

Dear Chris
Coming from England and living in Cyprus I was
delighted to be given one of your brochures from a tourist, in a
wheelchair, at the harbour in Paphos.
I had been talking to them and said that I was
a carer and had worked in England for many years but now decided to live
in Paphos. I was hoping to be able to do Therapeutic massage for the
elderly, disabled and infirmed and straight away they asked me to help
them. The husband who spent most of the day pushing his wife around in
the wheelchair had hurt his back, and I was able to help them by giving
him a back massage to loosen the tight muscles in his shoulder. They also
said that they would like to use my services as a carer, when they
returned to Paphos at the end of the year. Yes they too were moving to
Paphos. They said it was so wheelchair friendly.
On visiting their website I was amazed at how
much information the links gave to anyone wanting to come and holiday in
Cyprus. There is no need to go to any travel agency when you can contact
Chris or George and all the answers will be provided. I can really
recommend any of there services and can guarantee all of you a superb
holiday. Contact them now for your holiday requirements, you never know I
may be meeting up with you as well.
