Electricity & Plugs in Rhodes

Electrical Information

Voltage & Frequency: Greece operates on 230 volts (V) at 50 hertz (Hz), standard throughout European Union.

Plug Types: Type C (2-round pins) and Type F (2-round pins with grounding clips) are standard. Older Type E sockets exist in some buildings.

Adapter Requirements: North American devices (110V) require voltage converter; UK/AU/NZ devices compatible at 230V with plug adapter. Most modern electronics (phones, laptops) auto-convert 110-240V.

Adapters & Converters: Available at airport shops, electronics stores, and hotels. Bring adapters from home to ensure compatibility. Consider portable power banks for extended sightseeing.

Practical Tips: Test electronics at hotel before extended use. High-power devices (hairdryers) may require dedicated circuits. Carry spare batteries for cameras given extended exploration hours.

USB Charging: Many hotels and restaurants offer USB charging stations; ask staff if unsure. Power banks readily available for purchase if needed.
