Turkey Travel Adapter Kit | Going In Style

Turkey is located in Southeast Europe and Southwestern Asia. Turkey uses a Continental Europe type adapter plug that can be used in many European countries. Turkey Adapter Plug Kit has the adapters you will need for traveling to all parts of the gorgeous country of Turkey. The Turkey adapter plug allows you to plug your US, Canada, Mexico appliances and electronics into Turkey  wall outlets.

When traveling to Turkey it is important to take along the correct adapter for your trip. Deluxe Turkey Travel Adapter Kit includes both earthed (grounded) and non earthed (non grounded) adapter plugs. Deluxe Going In Style Adapter Kit ships Priority Mail with tracking. 

Europe Adaptor plug allows US, North America, China, Australia and Mexico appliance plugs to be used in Continental Europe such as France, Germany and Spain. This adapter plug also fits Turkey outlets.  The country of Turkey is strategically located between Southeast Europe and West Asia.

Adapter plugs allow electrical connections up to 240 volts. An adapter plug does NOT change the current or voltage (this requires a converter) unless your appliance is dual voltage. Check to make sure your hair dryer, curling iron, electric razor and other appliances are dual voltage before you leave on your trip. Non-grounded adapters may NOT be used with appliances that have grounded plugs; for these you will need a grounded adapter.

Many of our customers find it handy to have multiple adaptors while traveling - either to run several appliances simultaneously or simply as a backup. Buy adapters online before you leave for your trip. Once you arrive in Turkey you may find it difficult to find an adapter to convert your United States / North America appliance plugs to fit into Turkey wall outlets.

Grounded Adapter Plugs

If you are traveling with a grounded United States dual/multi-voltage appliance or using a grounded Transformer you will need to use a grounded adaptor plug. A grounded United States plug has two flat blades and one round pin.

Non-Grounded Adapter Plugs

Going In Style offers non-grounded adapter plugs for use with your voltage converter, transformer, or dual/multi voltage appliance. A non-grounded United States plug has two flat blades.

Cycles: 50 Hz vs. 60 Hz.

Turkey operates on 220 volt electricity and is generated at 50Hz (Cycles) Alternating Current. United States 110-120 volt electricity is generated at 60Hz (Cycles) Alternating Current. This difference in cycles may cause the motor in your 60Hz United States appliance to operate slightly slower when used on 50Hz foreign electricity. Most modern electronic equipment including battery chargers, Lenovo, HP, Asus, Toshiba computers, iPods, etc., will not be affected by the difference in cycle.

Most modern electronic equipment including battery chargers, Lenovo, HP, Asus, Toshiba computers, iPods, etc., will not be affected by the difference in cycle.

Computers and Apple Products

If you are traveling overseas with a Toshiba, HP, Lenovo, Asus, laptop or Apple device such as an iPad, chances are you won’t need a voltage converter. Most laptops are multi-voltage and will operate on voltages ranging from 100 to 240 volts. However, computers do need to make safe connections to foreign power systems and a surge protector is recommended and you will still need an adapter to use your plug.

Converter- Changing Current Voltage

Going in Style adapters allow electrical connections up to 240 volts. Adapter plugs DO NOT convert voltage and only change the configuration of the pins. When voltage conversion is needed, use an electricity converter. An electricity converter changes the voltage input into your appliance. The United States electrical appliances operate on a lower current of 110-120 volts AC (Alternating Current). Most of the world operates on 220-240 volts AC. Therefore converter units enable your electronic and non-electronic appliances to run on foreign electricity (220-240 volts) to match the voltage requirements of your 110-120 volt device. Failure to run your appliance with a converter could damage your appliance.

About Turkey

Geography

Turkey is located in Southeastern Europe and Southwestern Asia (that portion of Turkey west of the Bosporus is geographically part of Europe), bordering the Black Sea, between Bulgaria and Georgia, and bordering the Aegean Sea and the Mediterranean Sea, between Greece and Syria. Its area is slightly larger than Texas. Its climate is temperate; hot, dry summers with mild, wet winters; harsher in interior. The terrain is high central plateau (Anatolia); narrow coastal plain; several mountain ranges.

Currency

Currency in Turkey is the New Turkish Lira (TRY). Credit cards are accepted at major hotels, restaurants and tourist destinations, but smaller establishments will only accept cash. Foreign currency and travelers’ cheques can be exchanged at currency exchange offices and banks throughout Turkey.

Staying Connected

Turkey has a comprehensive telecommunications network undergoing rapid modernization and expansion especially in mobile-cellular services. Additional digital exchanges are permitting a rapid increase in subscribers; the construction of a network of technologically advanced intercity trunk lines, using both fiber-optic cable and digital microwave radio relay, is facilitating communication between urban centers; remote areas are reached by a domestic satellite system; combined fixed-line and mobile-cellular teledensity is roughly 100 telephones per 100 persons. When travelling to Turkey you will want to take an international or unlocked cell phone with a prepaid Turkey SIM card. You can also contact your mobile service provider to set up an international calling plan. You will need an adapter to charge your phone. Most cell phone battery rechargers should be multi-voltage, therefore will not require a converter. If the charger says 100-240 volts, 50-60 cycles then your charger in multi-voltage.

Turkey has 3.625 million internet hosts and over 27.233 million internet users. Free Wi-Fi is available in hotels and coffee shops and there are internet cafes even in small towns. When traveling with your laptop or iPad you will need an adapter to charge your device.
