QUALITY, ACCESSIBLE APARTMENT ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF EMBA, PAPHOS Emba is an “old-world” village with narrow, winding streets and a 12th century church. The nearby olive groves, banana plantations and orange trees all testify to the warmth of the climate. LOCATION IDEAL: ALL THE ADVANTAGES OF PEACEFUL COUNTRYSIDE WITH PAPHOS TOWN IN EASY REACH.
This spacious apartment is fully accessible and has a roll-in shower with a self-propelling, wheel-in shower-chair. From the living-room, patio doors open to a large, west-facing balcony with a distant view of the Mediterranean and fabulous sunsets over the sea. It is on the 2nd. (top) floor, served by a roomy lift, in a new, attractive complex, step-free, low-rise and a quality build, with a communal pool, sun-loungers and sun-umbrellas. WHY PAPHOS? We chose to be close to Paphos because all the tourist area, known as Kato Paphos, is mostly flat and is the most accessible town we know anywhere.
ASSISTANCE FOR DISABLED PEOPLE: We are working closely with a small Paphos company, OBERON EXPLORATIONS, who have many years’ experience of helping disabled people enjoy their holiday to the full. Their brochure is enclosed. You can hire disability equipment from them, including an electric wheelchair and a small hoist, but you need to make the booking in advance. You can also arrange for them to meet you at Paphos airport in their accessible minibus, which can carry in safety 4-5 wheelchair users with a secure E.U. Standard clamping system, to take you to the apartment. They are available, by prior booking, for local taxi journeys and you can also enjoy with them a memorable day out (they will collect you at the apartment and return you there). GETTING AROUND: We can recommend to you a reliable car-hire firm, CY-BREEZE , for you to explore the spectacular scenery and fascinating tourist attractions throughout the island. (This firm includes in its fleet three automatics. Alas, hand-controls are not yet available in Cyprus.) Provided that you hire a car for a minimum of a week and arrive before 6.00pm, CY-Breeze will meet you at the airport and for no extra charge will chauffeur you to the apartment, leaving the car with you. (If you arrive after 6.00pm, there is a small charge). It is essential to give them plenty of notice. For no extra charge, they will meet you at the airport at any time if you wish to drive the car from there, though we recommend that you do not try to find the way yourself unless you are familiar with Paphos. If you make a booking with CY-Breeze, mention our name and you will get good service! OR JUST RELAX: Without hiring a car, you can enjoy your holiday relaxing around the pool in the warm sunshine or on the spacious top-floor veranda of the apartment. For the short journey from the airport, Oberon are available or of course an ordinary taxi, if you are able to transfer. For visits to Paphos, taxis are relatively inexpensive. DISTANCE FROM AIRPORT: Paphos International Airport lies just 9 miles from Paphos and from Paphos it is less than half that distance again to the apartment. It is a journey of about 25 minutes. LOCAL AMENITIES: From the apartment a 10-15 minute walk along a level road through open fields takes you to a quality supermarket, with a café/take-away next door. Another 10 minutes takes you to a taverna and a pizzeria. Emba has a good take-away, with a delivery service. TO PAPHOS OR CORAL BAY: From the apartment an easy drive of about 10 minutes takes you right into Paphos town with all its amenities. Or you can drive in 10 minutes to Coral Bay, where you can chill out on the best beach in the area; nearby you will find a wide choice of accessible shops, cafes and restaurants, with an accessible toilet in the carpark overlooking the beach. |
