Hint #1: There's a mosque in the background.

Third hint: Mel Gibson starred in a motion picture very early in his career based on historic events about 100 km away.

The hints point to Turkey, but I can't for the life of me find a Turkish city that looks like that.

It IS Turkey. Not on the Black Sea. But not really on the Mediterranean, either.

Hmmm, that suggests the sea of Marmara, and with strategic signifigance, that suggests the Dardanelles and the Bosphorus. I'm going with Gallipoli due to the hills, now called Gelibolu.

It's not Gelıbolu but you're close.

Cryptic clue: A French/Greek conglomeration of "Good beef casing stuffed with a seasoned mixture of matzo meal or flour".

I didn't think this one would be so hard, but then I never knew where it was either until I was temporarily based there. My Turkish students worked hard to be assigned there, instead of Diyarbakir... sort of like comparing Eglin AFB in Fort Walton Beach with Minot AFB.
