The Dibek cedar stands at the Dibek locality in the Karacaören neighbourhood, inside the Dibek nature conservation area in the Kumluca district of Antalya. The area around the tree is used only for scientific research.
The tree is 781 years old, 25.1 metres tall and 2.27 metres in diameter. Its size, age and exceptional growth are the reasons given for its protection, and there are no facilities on the site.
The route runs first to Kumluca and then by private vehicle through the Dibek conservation area to the Karacaören neighbourhood and the Dibek locality.
