Which travel plug do you need in Greece?<\/h2>\n

With this post I would like to answer a question you often ask about sockets, plug types and mains voltage in Greece.<\/p>\n

Whether it’s a cell phone charger, Kindle, camera or laptop, everything needs power…<\/p>\n<\/div>

In Greece you will find the usual EU sockets for the so-called Euro plug<\/a> (Euro flat plug) and the Schuko plug<\/a>. A bit tricky, especially for the Swiss! On Wiki I found a practical country overview<\/a> of plug types, mains voltages and frequencies.<\/p>\n<\/div>

The mains voltage is 230 volts. However, the power stability often leaves something to be desired. Power outages are not uncommon, especially during thunderstorms or in summer when the power grid is overloaded. Once the glitch has been resolved and the power is flowing back onto the grid, it sometimes happens that it comes with more boost than usual. If lightning strikes, it’s even possible that it will “toast” your devices. That’s why I personally never leave my devices plugged in for longer than absolutely necessary.<\/p>\n

I especially recommend the Swiss to take a travel plug with them.<\/p>\n
