Travel Abroad mobility issues

Good Morning
I was a keen traveller in Europe before my health issues worsened, hopefully someone with experience can advise me whether travelling is an option or a pipe dream.
I am 72 with stroke and COPD so I can't walk distances and get out of breath very quickly.
I have used Special Assistance at airports, been on the lift into the plane etc.
I am able to hire a driver to get me to the airport and collect me.
I can still drive abroad, no problem there.
I need flat ground at the hotel, esplanades etc, maybe hire a scooter.
Considering Gran Canaria in March.
Sorry for long post just concerned about possible problems
