Electrical Outlets in Greece

This is probably a stupid question, but what type of electrical outlets are in Greece (Athens, Santorinie, Crete). We are going for 10 nights in Sept, and I plan to bring my Ipod and will need to charge it. Please let me know...thanks.

The so-called two round pin "Continental plug" is in use there as I recall.

If you live in the U.S. be sure your Ipod is built to withstand 220 volt electricity. If it's not "dual-voltage" you'll also need to bring along a voltage converter.

Everyone is correct. I just found a great website the other day. Time Square Travel has a nifty travel guide, in which they say which voltage and outlet type each country has. The URL is http://www.traveltst.ca/index.php?pageId=113
