Looking for advice on an Interrail trip starting in Geneva, travelling through the Balkans and Turkey, and on to Italy

Hello, I’m planning an Interrail trip in two to three weeks and I’d like to know if you have any advice. I’m setting off from Geneva and will be visiting several places: Slovenia (about 3 days), Austria (about 3 days), Hungary (about 2 days), Romania (about 3 days), Turkey (about 4 days), Greece (just one stop), then I’ll take the ferry to Ancona or Venice to return to Geneva.

 

First question: has anyone taken the ferry (Greece–Italy) before? Specifically, the Attic Group, which has very poor reviews, and Minoan Lines.

 

Another question: most of my journeys are about 10 hours long (I plan to travel overnight). Do you have any thoughts on this (I’m worried I’ll get tired from the journeys)? And also, if you have any general recommendations for my route, that would be great!

 

If you have any accommodation to recommend (hostels), I’d love to hear them!!

 

Thanks in advance for your help!
