Btw I am assuming your photo was taken at the time you flew over, i.e. in the mid 80s. Do you know if the town has changed much?
I am sure I am still wrong as I can't quite find a similar-looking mosque or tall building like the ones in the picture. Incidentally, Eskisehir looks like a lovely town from images I've seen on sites like skyscraper.com.

Not at all. It's very much inland. Sounds a bit like the protagonist in a 1980s Arnold Schwarzenegger, Brigitte Nielsen and Sandahl Bergman movie, minus the color.
The area is also known for a meditative dance sometimes used out of context to describe something else.

Konya.
I did actually think of Konya but for some reason at the time coudn't find a picture that resembled your picture, yet when I go now to search, I can find one:
It is Konya (rhymes with "Sonja", as in Red Sonja), and is known for it's Sufi whirling dervishes. It was a bit smaller when I flew over it on the way to the weapons range almost 30 years ago.
