That means you will get on the venice-igoumenitsa ferry, which is a reasonable break.
Bearing in mind you have a small baby, plan for stops to feed and change diapers. How does the baby stand long car journeys? Nothing is more unpleasant than driving on unknown roads while having a baby crying at 110 dB level in the back seat.
Plan also for unexpected traffic jams, now it is winter time, accidents happen quite often.
Bon voyage.

Oh man, you have a baby with you too? Hmmmm... Long trips to countries such as Turkey is always risky. You may have issues with food/milk etc. Just have enough baby food, diapers and everything else to last you the trip twice over.
