Among them you should pay special attention to the electric
current, especially if coming from the States or Canada. The
standard in Greece is 220-230V AC (50Hz). Appliances from North
America require a transformer and British ones an adaptor.
Remember: Adaptor plugs do not convert electricity. We recommend
that you pack an adapter or transformer depending on your needs
together with your electrical appliances, so that you do not
have to spend valuable time looking for adaptors and
transformers during your stay in Athens Greece. Please note:
from my experience laptops do not require a transformer. Well at
least my laptop works well in Canada and Greece. Many electrical
appliances have a transformer that allows them to adjust to
different voltage, and some must be switched manually from 120V
to 220V electricity. The power is the same all over Greece in
the main land as well as in the Greek islands. Power
fluctuations however may cause some problems especially in the
islands and this might happen during the peak of tourist season.

electric shaver. Remember if you rent rooms or apartments in

Vacations - Save With Off Peak TravelThe European Environment Information and Observation Network
(EIONET) defines traveling off-peak as traveling outside
rush-hours to avoid overcrowding in public means of transport.
This sounds all too simple and as we might expect - easier said
than done. For both air and car travel, avoid the crowds by
traveling during the week, especially from Tuesday through
Thursday. An added bonus is that airfares for travel Tuesday
