With six hours in Kotor — typically a cruise call — book one half-day activity and keep two hours for the old town. The best options are a 3-hour Perast and Our Lady of the Rocks boat trip (from €30, leaves from the pier five minutes from the ship), a 3-hour sea kayak in the bay (from €35), the city walls climb plus a guided old-town walk (€20–€35, 2–3 hours), or a fast private drive to Lovćen and back (€120 per car, 4 hours). Anything involving Durmitor, Tara rafting or Skadar Lake does not fit in six hours. Book at https://booknroll.com/explore?city=kotor.
Cruise tenders and ships dock a 3–5 minute walk from the old town's Sea Gate, and boat tours depart from the same waterfront — so a bay trip wastes almost no transfer time.
Choose a private option if your window is tight: private operators plan around your ship's all-aboard time and guarantee return, which group tours cannot.

A 3-hour boat trip to Perast and Our Lady of the Rocks — it leaves from the waterfront next to the ship, shows the most photographed part of the bay and reliably returns within your window.
Yes. The full climb to San Giovanni fortress and back takes about 2 hours at a steady pace; the halfway church of Our Lady of Remedy takes 1 hour round trip.
