Berbati), two kilometers before the south entrance of the village, which belongs to the municipality of Argos - Mycenae in the prefecture of Argolida. It is built on the homonymous stream or stream of "Taxiarchis", which descends from the chapel of Prosymna and has its springs in the village Stefani, with the characteristic gray stone of the area. This stream is dry during the summer months and during the winter it has strong downpours. ROMAN BATHROOMS The baths probably formed part of an extensive rural villa with an ironworks, olive press and possibly a place of worship, on which is built the adjacent small church of Ag. John. It is worth a visit to the church as it is almost underground and you see a mosaic. Near the church is a large stone, probably a remnant of the mill. From here used to go the so-called Konoporia (Mykonos) road to Mycenae. The bridge is located next to the modern bridge and the locals also call it the Asterion Bridge. Prosynna, already inhabited by the Paleolithic period, is located on the borders of Argolida and Corinth. The first one communicates through the Klisoura Strait, where the Asterion Bridge is, and the second through the Clennia Gorge on the side of Mount Athion.
