How did the Greek ships differ than those of the Persians in the battle of Thermopylae?
The battle of Thermopylae was on land - a small Greek land force holding the pass for three days. The purpose of holding the pass was to encourage the Persians to use their fleet to bypass the blockage and the Greek fleet was waiting to pounce on the Persian ships in the narrow waters between Thermopylai and the island of Euboea at Artemesion, which is the name of the naval battle you are asking about.
The Greek ships were lighter and more manoeuvrable than the Persian ships. The Persians relied on closing with the opposition and boarding. The Greeks relied on avoiding and ramming their opponents.
Unfortunately for the Greeks it didn't work. After three days of skirmishing then close battle, they lost the sea battle of Artemesion and retired back to Salamis to try again. The delaying force at Thermopylai, its delaying mission complete, withdrew covered by a reargued of 2,300 Spartans and 1400 Thespians who were all lost.
