I believe the voltage is 220, but I'm wondering how many different shape plugs are needed.

Message went into wrong area - should have been specifically for Greece.
How do I switch post to Greece and delete from Europe?

Where are you going? There is the three prong long rounded one that I've used for everything in europe. Just to let you know most electronics this day don't need a voltage changer. It will say on the cord what voltage it can take. For instance, my laptop, digital camera and mp3 player don't need a voltage transfer.

Good Luck

I had questions about all the adaptors, etc. we'll be taking on our Italy/France trip next month. I discovered on the Magellan's website a section that addresses this question...it guides you through each one of your electronic plug-ins and makes recommendations as to what you need and don't need.

The plug end for Greece is two round prongs. Greece=220v.

I found this posting in the Greece Forum, so don't worry.

FYI - There is no separate "forum" for Greece. All postings show up in the "Europe" board (or US, or A/ME, or Asia or whatever) and if you select "Greece" when posting your message, it will also show up if someone simply searches "Greece" from the drop-down menu.

However, when you want to read posts and you select a country from the drop-down menu, it DOES NOT guarantee that you will get ALL posts concerning that country. The ONLY posts that show when you select a country from the drop-down menu are thost that selected that country when originally posting the message.

Does that make sense?????

And yes - I wish there was a way to delete your own messages since mistakes are occasionally made!!

Unless you have an appliance that requires grounding, all you need is the 'type C' plug shown in the Kropla link provided by rkkwan. That is the standard two-pin plug used throughout most of continental Europe.

Just be sure to check the voltage on all your appliances. Also, there CAN be some glitches. I had not problems in Paris last year but my girlfriend has several issues. Her curling iron was duel voltage but would not get hot, AND, she didn't check her phone charger and plugged it in and blew out the whole floor in our hotel. LOL So, just check all your plugs and make sure they are duel voltage before you decide not to take the converter. MY phone charger, worked perfectly, all I needed was the adapter.
