Cypaera or Kypaira () or Cyphara or Cyphaera (ÃÂÃÂÃÂñùÃÂñ) was a town and polis (city-state) of Ancient Thessaly, in the southern part of the district Thessaliotis or Phthiotis, near the confines of Dolopia. Livy relates that the retreat of Philip V of Macedon after the Battle of the Aous (198 BC) allowed the Aetolians to occupy much of Thessaly, and these latter, after sacking Xyniae took Cypaera. It has been located at a site called Palaia Yannitsou within the territory between the modern villages of Kaitsa (ÃÂÿàÃÂÃÂì ÃÂñÃÂÃÂÃÂ÷ÃÂ) and Makrirrachi (ÃÂñúÃÂàÃÂÃÂìÃÂ÷), in the municipal unit of Xyniada.
