Yemişçi Fıstık Çamı Tabiat Anıtı

About Yemişçi Fıstık Çamı Tabiat Anıtı

The Yemişçi Stone Pine Natural Monument is a monumental stone pine at the Yalı locality of Güzelbahçe, protected as a natural monument and still standing tall amid the dense building that now surrounds it. The stone pine belongs to the pine family and grows naturally along the Aegean and Mediterranean coasts, in Portugal, Spain, Italy, Crete and Türkiye. Visit İzmir describes this tree as worth protecting as both natural and cultural heritage, and notes that it is well known and loved by local people as an important part of the natural landscape. It is a short stop rather than a park for a day out, and pairs well with the Yarendere Fıstık Çamı Tabiat Anıtı, another protected stone pine about a kilometre to the east in Maltepe, on a walk along the Güzelbahçe shore. Visit İzmir gives the regional forestry and water affairs directorate as the contact.
