What plug adapter do I need for Greece?

Greece and the Greek islands use Type C and F sockets at 230V. Here's which adapter to pack and how to keep everything charged.

You need a European adapter with two round pins (Type C or F). Greece uses 230V, the same as the UK, so you won't need a voltage converter.

Which plugs does Greece use?

Greece uses Type C and Type F sockets, the standard European two-round-pin design. The Greek islands, from Crete to Corfu, use the same sockets as the mainland.

Do you need a voltage converter for Greece?

No. Greece runs on 230V at 50Hz, the same as the UK, so your devices will work with just a plug adapter.

Tips for charging in Greece

Expect limited sockets. Smaller island hotels and studios often have just one or two, so USB ports on your adapter really help.

Pack a power bank for boat trips and beach days. There's rarely anywhere to charge on the water.
