Need help for a ferry from Gatwick to Istanbul

I am a US based pilot that is about about ferry a Seneca in about a month. The professional ferry pilot will take the airplane across the pond (I am inexperienced and too chicken to make that attempt) but was wondering about the ways to do the ferry.
My planned route is to go down to South France and fly over Italy and Greece to avoid the mountainous region and lower temperatures.. Would like to get some information about the best airports to do the fuel stops (i.e lower AVGAS prices, no handling fees, etc.).
I am also shocked to see the cost of Jeppesen trip kit EU500+ for the trip kit is a bit more expensive that I thought..Any ideas how to get the local AIPs from local sources? Maybe order them online, etc.

Any help would be appreciated..

Thanks..
