Maxiles are a special type of pickled figs found in Lysos and the surrounding area. The Lysos community was involved in the large-scale production and trade of maxiles. Large quantities of these special figs were sent to wholesalers in Nicosia and Paphos. They even reached Egypt, given the Greek and Cypriot community present there. Salted figs were produced in several parts of Cyprus. Among the most famous are the small white figs from the Pyrgos Tillirias area as this region followed a unique way of production and preservation.
