A family charging kit for Greece
How do you charge a family of devices in one hotel room?
In July 2026 we used two multi-port hubs, one per wall outlet, with a small 100-watt charger plugged into one hub’s AC outlets: eleven ports for about ten devices. That describes our kit, not a recommendation.
The constraint in our hotel rooms was never wattage. It was outlets: two usable ones, and about ten things to charge overnight — three phones, a tablet, a laptop, two watches, the camera batteries, the action camera's charging case and the power bank.
What we carried in July 2026 was two hubs, one per outlet. The first, a four-port USB-C charger with a removable cord, went into the wall on a European figure-of-eight lead with no adapter at all (power adapters has how that works), and it charged the phones and the tablet. The second, a six-in-one hub, went in through a Schuko plug adapter and took the rest: the laptop on its high-wattage USB-C port, both watches, and a smaller 100-watt charger plugged into the hub's own AC outlets for the camera battery charger, the action camera's case and the power bank. Eleven ports across two wall sockets, for ten devices.
That is a description of what we packed and how it was wired, not a buying guide. We did not compare it with another setup, log charge times or measure anything, so this page does not say what anyone else should bring — only that this arrangement is the one that was in our bags that July.
Common questions
We did not survey them. Our kit used two outlets per room in July 2026, and it was built around that.
Only if it is rated for 230V; a single-voltage strip is not. We did not carry one.
We cannot say from a comparison: we made none. Our kit was built on port count, eleven ports for ten devices, rather than on peak wattage.
