Karagedik is a settlement located in the district of Fethiye, which is part of Muğla Province in southwestern Turkey. Administratively, it is classified as a mahalle (neighbourhood) following the 2013 Turkish local‑government reorganisation, which transformed many villages into neighbourhoods within larger municipalities.
Geographically, Karagedik lies within the mountainous terrain characteristic of the Fethiye region and is situated near the district’s central town. The area is typically rural, with land use dominated by agriculture and forestry.
Demographic and statistical data for Karagedik are recorded by the Turkish Statistical Institute (TÜİK) through the Address‑Based Population Registration System (ADNKS). However, specific population figures and detailed socioeconomic information for the settlement are not widely published in English‑language encyclopedic sources.
