It’s called Molunat, this small village that oversees access to an equally little extended peninsula, decorated with two small islets (keeping in theme of film and TV, from here you can reach in 25 minutes in Herceg Novi, a Montenegro town which  every year in August hosts the Herceg Novi Film Festival). Continuing for a few miles south on the road can also be reached at 516 Bay of Kotor (Kotor), a stunning fjord that is part of the mainland that looks like a huge lake with ships at anchor.
