Have to admit I am a neophyte on this issue so appreciate any assistance.
Thanks
There seem to be Europe or EU eSIMs which would include all the countries in the EU as well as Switzerland. So it would include Italy and Greece.
But you may have to go for a global eSIM to get Turkey as well.
Or get a Europe eSIM like Orange and then find one specifically for Turkey when you're at Turkish ports. That would involve installing and activating two different eSIMs which you can just tap the one you want in Settings App of your iPhone, under Cellular.
This thread has various third-party eSIM providers, that is they are not associated directly with mobile carriers which offer the connections, like Orange in France or TIM or Vodafone in Italy.
For instance, this one is for Europe but doesn't list Turkey.

This one is first-party, offered by Orange, a major mobile carrier in France. Note the their Europe eSIM doesn't include Turkey either:

There are "world" eSIMs but my guess is they're more expensive than just Europe or a single country eSIM.
