Hi.
Currently there are international train connections from/to Greece due to the economic problems. Maybe it will change in summer, but not for sure.
From Greece to Turkey or Bulgaria, you will have to use a bus.
From Italy to Greece take a ferry. Destination in Greece is Patras. It seems that there are some local trains available then to Athens, but you can also use a bus for about EUR 10.
Have a look here for ferry information - departure in Italy is Ancona or Bari: [u]https://rail.cc/en/interrail-ferry/italy/it[/u]
