WHILE trip abroad, including Cappadocia, I often invite parents. My heart feels happy every time I see my parents looking enthusiastic and happy following a series of trips from one tourist destination to another.
Cappadocia is a city in Turkey that went viral due to the story of the #kite breaking up on social media. However, traveled there with aged parents 70 easy year.
At least there is 5 things that diva travelers need to pay attention to. Here are Travel Diva's tips so that parents are comfortable traveling in Cappadocia.
1. Footwear
Before leaving, prepare comfortable footwear for parents. Choose shoes and sandals that are not slippery. If traveling in Cappadocia in summer, don't forget to bring a hat, umbrella, sunblock, sunglasses and water bottles for them.
2. Warm clothes
The night air in Cappadocia is quite cold. The temperature is approx 11 degrees Celsius. So that parents are not cold, then fell ill, provide them with warm clothes or clothes that are quite thick when leaving the hotel at night.
3. Accompany when Walking
Many roads in Cappadocia are climbing. Need extra energy while walking there. The task of diva travelers is to accompany and help parents when walking uphill. Choose a place to walk that can help parents stand while holding on to a wall or building wall. Hold or paw them while walking.
4. Nutritious breakfast
Hotels usually provide plain bread complete with a choice of jam, egg, vegetables, tomatoes, olive, honey and cheese. Then there is too cookies. My advice, ask parents to choose the bread menu, egg, honey and milk. The menu is quite filling and can provide energy intake to carry out all day activities.
5. Choose a Hotel Selectively
If parents use a wheelchair or are unable to go up and down stairs, look for a hotel that has wheelchair access or all the rooms are on the ground floor. Almost all hotels in Cappadocia are not equipped with lifts or elevators. Then, choosing a room on the ground floor can be a solution so that parents are not too tired and have trouble going up and down stairs.
By observing 5 that matter, parents will be comfortable when traveling in Cappadocia with diva travelers.
