Will My Hair Dryer Work in Greece? 110V Devices Explained
Which devices need only a plug adapter and which need a converter in Greece.
By the iLoveGreece editorial team · Last reviewed 2026-11
Quick answer
Greece uses 230V with Type C and F plugs. Phones, laptops and most chargers work with just a plug adapter because they accept 100–240V. Single-voltage 110V devices like many US hair dryers, curling irons and straighteners can burn out without a voltage converter.
