Where was this pic taken? Is that a Tall Ship in the harbor just an illusion?

Hello

It is the ZG 26 is it not?

If so I would think it is the Mediteranean area, maybe Greece?

Thank you Kurt. It could very well be Greece. ZG 26 was in that theater in the spring of '41 and that is their insignia, no doubt about that.

Two Bf 110 D-1 of ZG26, soon after the Luftwaffe first went to Africa in 1941. Sand Yellow all over, with white theatre

Thank you, Orwell. I thought I had seen this photo before but never saved it. I presume their colouration would be more like this?:
