Sourcing replacement Propane bottles in Greece

[Jwaldie]

Hi
Does anyone have experience of sourcing replacement Propane bottles in Greece? To what extent is it commonly available and what is required re the regulator/ adaptor?

We are going there on an extended trip soon with 2 x 11kg Calor. I've heard it can be hard to source.

You certainly won't find calor gas as that's UK only..
You will have to buy a greek cylinder and suitable regulator
How difficult or easy that will be is unknown.
On the other hand you could buy a gaslow cylinder and filler system in the UK and refill for a fraction of the cylinder price at petrol stations.

Hi.... yes Gaslow is definitely a consideration for a future trip. Don't have time to fit it before this one unfortunately.

If you buy one greek cylinder you still have an empty calor cylinder to store away.......dead weight and space.
You could go with just one full calor and buy one greek then you could use the calor as a backup when the greek runs out until a replacement can be bought

How long is your trip and what is powered by gas, you may find you have enough…

If carrying 3rd bottle if it won't fit in the gas locker it needs to be in a compartment sealed from the habitation area with a drop vent.

Unless your going within the next week I’d looking to get a Gaslow refillable fitted.
It’s not a big job , any competent workshop could fit a single 11kg in 30 minutes
