Will my UK devices work in Turkey?
- Most UK devices designed for 230V should work on Turkey's electricity supply. You will still need a plug adapter.
- Phone, tablet and laptop chargers marked 100–240V, 50/60Hz should normally work. Check the label on any single-voltage appliance before you use it.
Using UK plugs in Turkey
A travel adapter is needed because UK Type G plugs do not fit Turkey's Type C and Type F sockets directly.
Turkey uses the same 230V, 50Hz supply as the UK, so a voltage converter is not normally needed for UK appliances. Always check the appliance label before use.
Common questions
Do I need a plug adapter for Turkey from the UK?
