What type of power outlets does Turkey use and do I need a travel adapter?

TL;DR
Turkey uses Type C/F sockets (standard European two-pin, 220-230V). Travelers from the UK, US, or Australia need a plug adapter; those from continental Europe or CIS countries usually don't.
What the community said
Turkey uses standard European Type C/F sockets at 220V — the same as most of continental Europe, so a round two-pin plug will fit without an adapter.

Travelers with UK, US, or Australian plug types will need an adapter — flat-pin or three-pin plugs don't fit Turkish sockets.

Adapters are widely sold at the airport, supermarkets, and small electronics shops across Turkey and are inexpensive — often available right at the checkout counter of a local supermarket.

Many hotels have universal sockets in rooms or can lend an adapter at reception, so it's not always necessary to buy one in advance.
