Can I use my devices in Turkey?
The local supply in Turkey is 220 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 220 V.
Turkey bridges Europe and Asia with a staggering variety of landscapes and cultures, from Istanbul's Byzantine and Ottoman monuments to the fairy-tale rock formations of Cappadocia, the Aegean coast and the Taurus Mountains.
There, the main plug types C and F are used and the standard supply is 220 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 Turkey uses type C and F sockets, which are the same as much of continental Europe. Travelers from continental Europe will have no issues. Visitors from the UK, North America or Australia should bring a standard European round-pin adapter.
