There are many ferries Turkey-Greece, which can be looked up on Ferrylines.com.
The most common route is Bodrum-Kos, but many others exist.
As I remember, there are few different routes that you can take. Last time me and my girlfriend did almost the same route as you did.

From Ayvalik to Lesbos (Lesvos, or Midilli in Turkish) The city is in a bit north. Ticket was around 20 Euro. I guess this would be the calmest route. Immigrants were usually going to the chios island. It was this company:
-
From Cesme to Chios island.
-
From bodrum to Chios.
-
From Bodrum to Rhodos
In order to go to Athens from the islands, You must take another ferry. Hellenic seaways. I guess you can buy tickets and get the prints from their office by hand.
- Does the EU air passenger rights regulation require rebooking into a higher class, if no seat in the same class are available?
- What are my rights if questioned by immigration enforcement on a US domestic flight?
I think it is fairly certain that no such ferries exist. (Confirmed at turkeytravelplanner.com.) Until just recently (10-15 year?) there were no interaction at all between Greece and Turkey.
What you can do is to get a ferry from Çeşme (just outside of Izmir) to Chios and from there get on a night ferry to Athens or Thessaloniki. I also found a schematic map of all ferries in the area.
I would expect prices to start from around 40€ and upwards depending on your level of needed luxury and if you’ll bring a vehicle.
Finally a picture of the boat that took us over night from Tilos to Athens some 9 years ago.
