Just the ferry to Italy, depending on where in Italy, takes the best part
of two days.

Not really. Patras to Brindisi is overnight, and to Ancona is less than a
day.

When we made the trip Patras to Ancona via the Superfast it left
Greece about 6pm, arrived about 3-4pm following day. That didn't
count time for boarding (including passport checks) and getting
onshore at Ancona.


Yes, well that's less than 24 hours which is why I said "less than a day". Of
course you can also go from Igoumenitsa which is about 4 hours less.
