In this study, antifungal properties of 14 honeysamples (flowers and chestnuts) collected from Camili (Macahel) and Efeler villages of Borçka district ofArtvin province were tested by disk diffusion method in human pathogenic fungal Candida albicans andevaluated by measuring the zone diameters formed. According to the results of the research, antifungalproperties of 7 flower honey and 7 chestnuts honey sample were recorded in two of them (11.04 mm for flowerhoney and 11.55 mm for chestnut honey).
