From French Polynesia to Turkey
When travelling from French Polynesia to Turkey: Some of your French Polynesia plug types fit in Turkey (C). Bring a compact adapter for the others. Voltage matches at 230V, so a basic plug adapter is enough for most devices. Frequency differs (60Hz → 50Hz). Modern phone and laptop chargers are usually fine, but some clocks, motors, and appliances may behave incorrectly.

About electricity in Turkey
Turkey runs on the standard European setup: 230V/50Hz with Type C and F (Schuko) sockets.
Grid & history
Turkey has rapidly expanded hydro and natural-gas generation. Renewables (hydro, wind, and solar) now provide over 40% of electricity, with coal and gas covering the rest.
Availability
The grid is reliable in cities and tourist areas. Rural eastern Turkey can see occasional outages, especially in winter.
Sockets & hotels
Type F is the standard in homes and hotels, and Type C plugs slot into Schuko sockets without an adapter.
Energy mix
Hydropower is the largest renewable.
Practical tips
- A small European C/F adapter covers Turkey, Greece, and the Balkans on one trip.
- Long-distance buses and trains often have charging sockets at the seat.
