Electrical Outlet Adaptor Plug Choice
 
We're going to Greece in ten days and I need to know which adaptor plug to take. My hairdryer and curling iron are dual voltage, but I need to know which plug adaptor to pack. Please describe as best you can because I have a full set, but they are not labeled. Thank you

Europlug works everywhere. If you need 3 pins get a Schuko too

logos, I believe those pictures on that site are all for rewireable plugs, not simple adapters.

Ragtop girl, you'll want the two round prong adapter. Just make sure your appliances fit into the other end. (Sometimes people fail to see that their three pront -- grounded -- applieance plug won't fit into the female end of the adapter plug, or that their appliance has a wide and a narrow prong, but that the adapter only has two narrow slots.

You use the same one as you would use in Europe.

The adapter is from 2 flat USA prongs to 2 round pins.
