My friend has one that she uses when she goes to Poland - can I just borrow hers? Will it work in Greece?

Most European countries use the same type of power systems, but I would go to a place like radio shack to buy one and ask their opinion. I bought one on a trip to Brazil and it ended up burning out after a while

Why don't you just ask at the hotel front desk to borrow their hair drier, or iron, or whatever. You don't need an adaptor, because you don't need to carry any appliance that the hotel doesn't already have (they usually have their own computers & Internet too, so no need for a laptop).

No, you need a different one. here is a tip: Go to Walmart and buy a universal power adapter they only cost 18.99 + tax. (electronics section, by the extension cables, remotes etc.G the kit comes with all the adapters for all the countries in the world. its'a good deal If you go to a travel store they cost double that amount. Been there, Done that!

The power converter/transformer which your friend bought for Poland may also be used in Greece. Both countries operate under the same voltage system (220-240V/50Hz). You just have to make sure, that the maximum watt the converter is constructed for is not exceeded, means you can not operate a 2000 watt flat-iron with a 500 watt power converter. It may be that you will need a plug adapter to fit the converter into the wall outlet. In Poland, they use the type C and E plugs/outlets from the attached link. In Greece however they use type C, D, E, and F plugs/outlets. So just wait till you arrive there, and see what kind of wall outlets they've got. If the power converter has a type C plug, you are good to go since it will fit in the others as well. If not you can still get an adapter, or just buy a "Greek" plug and install it temporarily on your friend's power converter.
