hi,

use google map (map.google.com) to calculate the distance. it takes a bit time to have the distance, but, at the end it gives you the accurate one.

ferry, as far as i know, there is no ferry to Egypt from EU. You have to ride through Turkiye or you can ship the bike from Greece to Israel (do a search for that on HUBB) and then ride to Egypt. I think you can cross to Egypt from Israel.

edit: i have just seen your location. there are also ferries from Italy (Brindisi or Ancona) to Turkiye (Cesme-Izmir). this might also a good alternative for your route. So that you can also visit and see Turkiye if you did not.
any questions welcome.

Or u can go to Tunisia (*) then Lybia then Egypt.
Will be faster. the only difficult part here is the Lybian borders, visa and so on.

*) non so per La Spezia ma cè una partanza da livorno per la tunisia
