There is no exact timeline for this since the way that different refugees and migrants travel is not consistent. Some manage to get to the Turkish-Syrian border more easily than others. Some use public transport within Turkey while some move on foot. Some have an easier time collecting funds to be smuggled onto rafts to get from the Turkish coast to Greek islands like Lesbos. It takes at least a month, but can often take years for a person migrating from Syria to Europe to make the trip over Turkey to Greece.

Why is Bashar al-Assad still president?

He's elected under the so-called popular referendum (that's the Syrian-way on how they conduct elections), by which the rubber-stamp Syrian Parliament nominates him for the ballot and have the Syrian people vote on whether they'll accept him for president or not. It's basically a vote of yes or no for Bashar al-Assad. This is not a typical democratic way on conducting any elections, because these kind of elections can get easily manipulated. Popular referendums are the same type of elections that it is used in totalitarian countries like Nazi Germany, Soviet Union, East Germany, Saddam's Iraq, etc...
