Try using the search button (top right) as lots of us have put our driving experiences of the journey on here already.
Italy to Greece(Igoumenista) ferries from Venice, Ancona, Brindisi and Bari.
Italy to Turkey, Ancona to Cesme.
Good luck

I've done it a couple of times without using the ferry. Draw a straight line roughly between Calais and Istanbul and follow the main roads through Europe. Once you get to Istanbul you can either use the longer coastal route or go over the mountains. It took me about 4 and a half days between Fethiye and Northants.
