Its all 230/240 volts in europe so whats the problem?  Unless its so cheap
they connect the earth to the live you should be ok?  I'm sure even the
Greeks have ipods (please don't let there be any Greeks on the list who
take offence :)  )

And I'm sure your power adaptor will take care of any voltage
fluctuations.  See what it says on it.  Probably something like 110v-250v,
50-60Hz?

I think we are all going 230v soon anyway, resulting in considerable
reduction in the life of bulbs and other devices designed to run at 240v!!
