Turkey Travel Adapters
Type C & Type F • 230 volts • 50 Hz
Santa Claus has real roots on Turkey's southwest coast. St. Nicholas, known locally as Noel Baba, was born around the 4th century in Patara and served as bishop in nearby Myra, now the town of Demre, where the Church of St. Nicholas still stands. His remains were taken to Bari, Italy, in 1087. A separate box of bones in the Antalya Museum, long marketed as his, was examined in 2004 and found to belong to someone else entirely.
Turkey is a country located at the crossroads of Europe and Asia. The capital city is Ankara, and the country is known for its rich history, diverse landscapes, and cultural heritage. Popular attractions include Hagia Sophia in Istanbul, Cappadocia’s unique rock formations, and the ancient city of Ephesus. Turkey offers a mix of historic sites, natural landscapes, and cultural experiences.
Turkey uses mains electricity supplied at 230 volts at 50 Hz. Wall outlets use Type C and Type F plugs. Travelers from regions that use different plug types should bring a compatible travel adapter. Visitors should confirm that their electronic devices support 100–240V input or use an appropriate voltage converter if necessary.

Do I need a voltage converter for Turkey?
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 Turkey'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 Turkey?
Most modern phone and laptop chargers are rated for 100–240V, so they work on Turkey's 230V supply without a separate converter. You'll still need a plug adapter, since the charger's US plug won't physically fit Turkey's outlets.
Are Turkey and US power outlets interchangeable?
No. Turkey uses Type C and Type F outlets and the US uses Type A/B. The plug shapes are different, and Turkey 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 Turkey use more than one plug type?
Yes. Turkey 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 the country.
