I don't think Symi has sophisticated and established addressing of properties and places! There's one postcode for the whole island, and many properties have no recognisable address. George the postman looks at the names of the recipients of letters and parcels, and just knows where he is likely to find each of them during delivery times. If they aren't around, he'll leave mail with a relative or at their favourite bar. As for delivery drivers - not really a problem when most properties have no road access and so no deliveries.
