Turkey - electrical devices & adapters?
I'm not sure if I can use the Italian electrical devices in Turkey - do I
need the adapter, or are they compatible?
Thank you in advance!

I think they have now solved this, but when I first went to Turkey
some parts of Istanbul were 110V and others were 220V. Buy a light
bulb in the wrong part of town and *blam*.
(That is of course an oversimplification. At any one time some
parts of the city would be at 0V).

The short answer is yes.
The long answer depends on which device you have. From what I have
seen, Italy has at least three different types of plugs. The two
small-pin devices should work just fine.

Paris used to be like that (late sixties, early seventies). My
mother's appartment, which had a longish shape, had one half 110V and
the other 220V. I once plugged the hair dryer on 220V while it had its
switch on 110V...
