Recommended Travel Adaptor for Turkey
We’ve taken the time to research and test different adaptors on real journeys. Safety and reliability were our top priorities. The adaptor below is the one we recommend.
No adaptor once you’ve landed? Airports and local shops are an option. But nothing beats the peace of mind of having your own ready to use.
Turkey is frequently visited along with Greece and Bulgaria. It’s worth checking the plug info — neighbouring countries might use slightly different systems.
Sockets in Turkey
The plug types you’ll find in Turkey are Type F plugs and sockets.
Type F
Type F sockets have two round pins with two earth clips on the side. UK Type G plugs do not fit into Type F sockets.
Do You Need a Voltage Converter?
You won’t need a converter in Turkey, as the mains voltage is basically the same as at home in the UK.
Check the mains rating on your device before travelling. A mark of ‘100–240 V, 50/60 Hz’ means it’ll work abroad without any converter.
Top Travel Essentials to Take With You
Travelling is a lot less stressful when you’ve got the right extras with you. A digital luggage scale helps you avoid those eye-watering excess baggage charges, a power bank keeps your phone and gadgets alive, and packing cubes stop your suitcase becoming a jumble. We’ve put them to the test, and they really are worth packing.
