Greek travel travelling in Athens Greece free travel tips, electric outlets in rooms and apartments

What should one consider while travelling in Athens, Greece?
Among them you should pay special attention to the electric
current, especially if coming from the States or Canada. The
standard in Greece is 220-230V AC (50Hz). Appliances from North
America require a transformer and British ones an adaptor.
Remember: Adaptor plugs do not convert electricity. We recommend
that you pack an adapter or transformer depending on your needs
together with your electrical appliances, so that you do not
have to spend valuable time looking for adaptors and
transformers during your stay in Athens Greece. Please note:
from my experience laptops do not require a transformer. Well at
least my laptop works well in Canada and Greece. Many electrical
appliances have a transformer that allows them to adjust to
different voltage, and some must be switched manually from 120V
to 220V electricity. The power is the same all over Greece in
the main land as well as in the Greek islands. Power
fluctuations however may cause some problems especially in the
islands and this might happen during the peak of tourist season.
One more thing, remember water and 220V electricity don't mix.
So if you are in an apartment or room in Athens or Greece, while
on vacation after you have a shower don't go with wet hands to
dry you hair with the hair dryer or take a shave with your new
electric shaver. Remember if you rent rooms or apartments in
Athens Greece don't plug just anything in the power outlets. A
mistake can ruin you vacation. Thanks Rooms Apartments in Athens Greece Athensrooms. Free Greek
