Can I use my devices in Greece?
The local supply in Greece is 230 V / 50 Hz. Most modern chargers for phones, laptops, cameras are dual voltage and work worldwide as long as the plug fits the socket.
- OKAY Phone, tablet, camera chargers and power banks usually support 100–240 V and can be used safely with the correct plug or adapter.
- CAUTION Laptops, game consoles and monitors often work worldwide, but always check the voltage range (100–240 V) on the power brick before plugging in.
- AVOID Single-voltage devices with heating elements (hair dryers, straighteners, kettles) can be problematic if their rated voltage does not match the local supply of 230 V.
Greece offers ancient ruins, whitewashed island villages and some of the bluest water in the Mediterranean. Whether you are island-hopping through the Cyclades or exploring the historical sites of Athens, it is endlessly rewarding.
There, the main plug types C and F are used and the standard supply is 230 V at 50 Hz. You will need a travel adapter because the local plug types differ from those used in your home country. Most modern devices support 100–240 V.
Tip Greece uses type C and F sockets. On smaller islands, studios and guesthouses can be basic, with only one or two outlets available per room. A compact multi-USB charger is particularly useful if you are traveling with a camera, phone and other devices at the same time.
