kotor taxi to perast

[Luv2cruz1000]

Trying to find an economical way to spend time in Perast. Is there regular taxis that go to Perast? Will they drop  you and pick you up at a later time? It seems the hop on and off bus may not be reliable according to some reviews. Is this a typical port that there are lots of last minute tours available and may be cheaper to wait until in port. We are hoping for a few hour in Perast and the group boat tours I see only give you a half hour.

When we were last in Kotor in July 2016, we walked to the bus station and caught a bus to Perast that was going on further. I can't remember where the final destination was but we were let off on the main road above Perast where we had a great view of the islands. It only cost a few euros each. We had a short walk down to to Perast where we got a boat over to Our Lady of the Rocks island for five euros each. After our visit we got a boat back to Perast and after having a wander and a snack we got the local bus from the waterfront near the church back to Kotor for one euro each. We got off the bus at the Shopping Centre that is just to the north of the old town. We could have got the local bus from the Shopping Centre to Perast which would have cost slightly less and had a shorter walk to the boats to the island but it didn't matter to us and our day cost us less than ten euros each. Our ship was in Kotor for a full day (maybe 9.00am to 5.00pm) and was tendered but we had plenty of time to go to Perast and then walk around Kotor old town before going back to the ship.

Forgot to put in that there was not a footpath on the main road where we were let off the bus above Perast so had to be very careful of cars on the road. If we went to Perast from Kotor again we would get the local bus that goes to the waterfront in Perast which would be safer and a shorter distance to the boats to the island.

I'm debating whether to book a small group tour with the cruise line for Bay of Kotor, which visits Perast and Lady of The Rocks church.  Thinking that boat transportation to/from these two locations probably provides a good opportunity to enjoy the beauty of the bay and its surrounding areas.
