How long by Road, compared to 24hrs(?) on the boat?
3720 miles by Road Calais-Athens shortest route
2135 miles on road Calais to Ancona (via Swiss cheapest) then ferry, then Patras to Athens & return
So ferry saves 1585miles, if you do circa 500 miles a day driving, it’s 3 days extra driving by road.

I think your 3750 miles is slightly wrong, In days gone by in my old 111 pulling for Wilgo freight,
I did the London Athens London shuttle, Mainly groupage or ciggies out, Heavy denim cloth back.

When the permits were a bit short MM ones did the job. As long as you chose the route correctly, Over Cenis,
.
Trieste, Belgrade, Gevgelia, run down to Athens IIRC it was around 3000ks, 1860miles and that was the longer route.
