Pindos or Pindus (Greek: ), also called Acyphas or Akyphas (), was an ancient city and polis (city-state) of Greece, one of the towns of the tetrapolis of Doris, situated upon a river of the same name, which flows into the Cephissus near Lilaea. Strabo, Theopompus, and Stephanus of Byzantium call the city Akyphas.Steph. B. s. v. . In one passage Strabo says that Pindus lay above Erineus, and in another he places it in the district of Oetaea; it is, therefore, probable that the town stood in the upper part of the valley, near the sources of the river in the mountain.Scymn. Ch. 591; Schol, ad Pind. Pyth. i. 121.William Martin Leake, Northern Greece, vol. ii. p. 92.)
The ancient city was situated at a site called Ano Kastelli or Pyrgos, approximately southwest of Kastellia, and approximately northwest of Gravia.
