Electricity and sockets
Yes – from the UK you need a travel adapter for Croatia, because the sockets there (Types C and F) will not take your plugs.
Sockets at the destination
Types C and F, 230 V, 50 Hz – those are the basics for electricity in Croatia. A converter can stay at home; Croatia supplies 230 V.
The same socket system is used in Estonia, Türkiye, Moldova and Montenegro, so one adapter covers all of them. Travelling further to the United Kingdom, Gibraltar and Cyprus means a different adapter. 31 of the 50 destinations in Europe share the plug types of Croatia.
Protective earth
Not every socket in Croatia is earthed: Type F yes, Type C no. Class I appliances belong in an earthed outlet.
