Guide
Karamık Köyü Sediri is a cedar at the Suluçukur locality in the Karamık quarter of Elmalı district, Antalya province, standing inside the Çığlıkara Nature Conservation Area. The directorate says the area is used only for scientific research, and Çığlıkara's own page prohibits entry without special permission, so this is a tree that is protected rather than shown.
Its page carries an error worth knowing about before reading it: the descriptive text opens with the name and declaration date of a different monument, the Koca Katran cedar of 21 February 1995, while the area record dates this one to 21 April 1995. The measurements, however, belong to this tree alone and differ from that one's. Karamık Köyü Sediri is given as 670 years old, 26.5 metres tall and 1.75 metres across. Its protected ground is 0.25 hectares.
Size, age and extreme growth are what the directorate lists as the reasons for protection, and there are no facilities at the site.
Access is through Elmalı and then by private car into Çığlıkara, to the Karamık quarter and the Suluçukur locality.
