    I'm going to go with Kusadasi in Turkey. That image gives me a Graeco-Turkish vibe.

    Yeah I think Italy could as easily fit. Perhaps it is a historically significant place, because otherwise there's absolutely nothing remarkable about it. Doesn't look like a particularly attractive spot from this angle. In any case, I'd rule out the southern Mediterranean. Beach resorts there seem to come with palm trees. But ruling out half the med on such a bet is pretty desperate.

    We've had many of those magical constructions in Greece as well. So this is my final hint. The location is in Greece

    Yes, getting closer now

    Greece has impressive 15,000 kilometers of shoreline due its unusual shape (one of the greatest numbers of all countries) and approximately 10,000 hotels. More than 9 out of 10 hotels seem to be white. This is quite a task if nothing distinctive can be pointed out in the picture.

    You know that it is somewhere in Attica and I will give another hint. The place where the photo has taken has some of the highest real estate prices in all the Balkans, to give you more details

    It is indeed! The pic is from a vantage point at the site of an abandoned orphanotrophy nearby.

    I looked at that location several times (five days ago for the first time and few hours ago today) and many pictures of it and decided it is too dissimilar although there are things in common.

    I guess one misses all the shots one doesn't take.

    One of my main mistakes was that in the pictures there was a marina in front of the building and I didn't realize that was on your picture as well

    A couple of the shots from Google did indeed seem not quite matches, but others were on point. For me, the important thing was the geography, i.e., that land in the distance.

    Anyway, here is the next one. It requires more of a private investigator approach, working with the clues and less with the actual image, and will either be way too easy, or just right. We'll see.

    First guess would be something like Midway or some other atol in the Pacific.
