So you're travelling on Sea Dreams' ferry 'Symi' .
10:00 from Akandia quay in Rhodes Town port. Look for the white boat with the red stripe. In the same general area will be the 'Panagia Skiadeni' of Dodekanisos Seaways (Blue and orange), so if you see that first, the Symi won't be very far away.
Enjoy your stay on Symi island!

Thanks Andy. Excuse my ignorance but how did you figure that out? I am struggling to read it!
I am guessing there is no allocated seat number...

The first section of the ticket is the section retained by the passenger, and is bilingual. On the left side near the top you'll see "Vessel" and alongside it "SYMH" which is the name of the ship in the Greek alphabet. The other two ticket sections are for use by the shipping line and the port authority, so are just in Greek.

No seat numbers on this ship, sit where you like.

Thanks Andy. Arrived at 12pm and have fallen instantly in love with Symi. So very beautiful.
