From Saint Pierre and Miquelon to Greece
When travelling from Saint Pierre and Miquelon to Greece: Some of your Saint Pierre and Miquelon plug types fit in Greece (C). Bring a compact adapter for the others. Voltage matches at 230V, so a basic plug adapter is enough for most devices. Frequency is the same at 50Hz.

About electricity in Greece
Greece uses the standard continental European setup: 230V/50Hz with Type C and F sockets.
Grid & history
Lignite coal generation is being phased out in favour of natural gas, solar, and wind. Some smaller Aegean islands still run on local diesel grids that strain during summer tourist peaks.
Availability
The grid is reliable on the mainland and the major islands. Smaller Cycladic and Dodecanese islands can have brief outages during the August peak.
Sockets & hotels
Type F (Schuko) is the standard, and Type C plugs slot into Schuko sockets without an adapter.
Energy mix
Solar capacity has grown rapidly since 2020.
Practical tips
- A European C/F adapter covers the whole country.
- On small islands in August, expect brief outages during peak air-conditioning load.
