The volatile constituents of Satureja parnassica Heldr. & Sart. ex Boiss subsp. sipylea P. H. Davis (Lamiaceae) were studied for the first time. 47 Compounds, out of 67 detected, have been identified by means of capillary GC and GC‐MS. The identified components represent about 95.5% of the oil. The major constituents found were carvacrol (49.9%) and p ‐cymene (20.1%). In addition 33.7% terpene hydrocarbons, 6.4% monoterpenic alcohols, and 1.6% sesquiterpene hydrocarbons were present.
