Appliances
The electricity supply in Greece is alternating current, 220 volts,
50 cycles. Appliances for 110 or 120 volts may be operated by using
step-down transformers of 220/110 volts connected to each outlet,
provided that these transformers have two separate windings which
will eliminate any danger of electric shock. Before taking major American
appliances (washing machines, dryers, etc.) to Greece, it is advisable
to check whether they can be adjusted to Greek conditions.
Greek television systems are PAL-SECAM-M. Therefore TV sets with the
American system (NTSC) only, will not operate in Greece.
There are two different dialing systems in Greece. Tone and pulse.
Therefore telephone sets must be able to change from one system to
the another. Dual voltage (220/110 volts 50/60 Hz) power adapters
for wireless telephone sets are required. |
