Hi,
My wife and I will be going to Montengro for ~3 days as part of a larger trip involving slovenia and croatia. We are planning to stay in Kotor and are thinking we will spend one day exploring Kotor, do a day trip to Perast/possibly a boat tour to Our lady of the Rocks, and then do a good hike on the 3rd day. We will have a car but aren't thrilled with the idea of a lot of the super windy roads so we are having trouble picking something. We are both in great shape and have done longer hikes before but do not want to do anything that is truly considered ridge hiking (ie, nothing like hardergrat in switzerland) or anything that is technically difficult. Ideally we'd love to find a 3-6 hr give or take hike with nice looking views that isn't overly challenging to drive to the starting point from Kotor. Was looking at Lovcen national park but the roads to get there look like a nightmare and Durmitor is a little out of reach for a day trip. Thank you in advance!

Cicerone books are always great:

Also check out Alltrails.
I think Lovcen would be your best bet, but if you don't want to drive up that road (some view that as half the fun, but you can see how windy it is from the map), then I don't know of any alternatives. I have heard of it it but have not driven up there.
We enjoyed walking straight up from Kotor (there is a good trail) and also riding bikes around the bay, for some less ambitious outdoor activities.
