Crimea Travel Adapters
Type C & Type F • 230 volts • 50 Hz
Crimea is a peninsula on the northern coast of the Black Sea connected to the mainland of Eastern Europe. The region has historically been a crossroads of cultures and empires, including Greek, Ottoman, and Russian influence. Major cities include Simferopol, Sevastopol, and Yalta. Crimea is known for its coastline, mountain landscapes, and historic resorts along the Black Sea. The territory is internationally recognized as part of Ukraine but has been administered by Russia since 2014.
Crimea uses mains electricity supplied at 230 volts at 50 Hz. Wall outlets use Type C and Type F. Travelers from regions that use different plug types need a travel adapter for Type C or Type F; equipment that is not dual voltage requires an appropriate voltage converter.

Do I need a voltage converter for Crimea?
Only if your device isn't dual voltage. Most phones, laptops, and cameras are rated for 100–240V and only need a plug adapter for Crimea's outlets. High-wattage single-voltage appliances, like hair dryers, straighteners, or some CPAP machines, need a voltage converter, not just an adapter. Check the device label for its voltage rating before you travel.
Can I use my US phone charger in Crimea?
Most modern phone and laptop chargers are rated for 100–240V, so they work on Crimea's 230V supply without a separate converter. You'll still need a plug adapter, since the charger's US plug won't physically fit Crimea's outlets.
Are Crimea and US power outlets interchangeable?
No. Crimea uses Type C and Type F outlets and the US uses Type A/B. The plug shapes are different, and Crimea runs at 230V compared to 120V in the US, so a plug adapter alone is only safe for devices that already support both voltages.
Does Crimea use more than one plug type?
Yes. Crimea uses two plug types: Type C, a two round-pin Europlug, and Type F, a grounded Schuko-style plug with two earthing clips. An adapter rated for Type F will also fit Type C sockets, so either one will work throughout Crimea.
