Achillea L., is one of the most widely used medicinal plants in the world. In this study, antioxidant, antimicrobial activity and total phenolic and flavonoid contents of extracts obtained from flower and stem of Achillea aleppica D.C. subsp. aleppica, were investigated. Fixed oils content of the extracts was examined by GC-MS analysis. Totally 31 different fatty acids were determined. The main fatty acid components of plant extracts were butyric acid, oleic acid, linoleic acid, palmitic acid and cis-4,7,10,13,16,19-docosahexaenoic acid. Total phenolic content, flavonoid amount, FRAP value and DPPH value of the plant extracts ranged between 8.42-38.49 mg/g; 4.54-14.04 mg/g; 14.48-48.31 µg/gand 0.7-33.37 mg/g, respectively. Antimicrobial activity assay carried out against 10 microorganisms showed no inhibitory effect against only Sarcina lutea and Candida albicans. In addition, methanolic extracts from the plants from Sarıçukur location produced better results than that of Ahir mountain.
